James O’Keefe explains why he was forced to give up his firearms before getting them back

James O’Keefe, the founder of O’Keefe Media Group and Project Veritas, was temporarily forced this week to surrender his firearms to West Palm Beach authorities.
The reason why stems from a feud between O’Keefe and former Project Veritas board member Matthew Tyrmand.
On March 31, O’Keefe was served with a domestic violence restraining order from Tyrmand, a guy whom O’Keefe has claimed thinks he’s evil and wants to kill him.
“Despite admitting multiple times on hidden camera wanting me dead, Matthew Tyrmand filed a restraining order against ME in Miami Dade County,” O’Keefe reported at the time on X.

“I conducted an investigation into former Project Veritas board member, Matthew Tyrmand, a man who has repeatedly stated that he wants to kill me, ‘eat my heart out,’ and who even fired a bullet through my image on my book Breakthrough,” O’Keefe revealed in a tweet.
“This individual is the same person who forced me out of the company I founded, Project Veritas,” he added.
