His opinion is not controlling. He’s entitled to make his argument, of course.

Courts tend to uphold the “red flag” sort of process. Snooping, civil asset seizure, generally upheld. To the extnt courts object, they will give the red flaggers instructions of how to red flag with the courts’ blessings.

May, 2021 SCOTUS ruled 9-0 that Red Flag Laws are Unconstitutional. It’s settled.

I have heard the due process argument before.

It also seems like self-incrimination should come into play.

If you lie about drug use or a criminal record on a job application, you can get instantly fired, but you cannot get sent to jail.

However, if you lie on a gun purchase application, it is a criminal offense.

Don’t forget the 4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

This also applies to nosey neighbors who vilify others out of spite. A Mrs Cravits next door who is constantly snooping is hereby put on notice.

The 5th, the 2nd and the due process clause of the 14th.

Well not sure about that. SC said regarding abortion ruling that Congress has the power to legalize abortion.

If that is the case, wouldn’t the recent Congress rule now over power the SC ruling on Red Flag laws?
