The socialists who took over Russia also implemented red flag laws. National socialists, too.

This is a very bad idea and is unconstitutional. Our founders went to great lengths with the Constitution and Bill of Rights to prevent this kind of tyranny.

Socialist Russia, National Socialist Germany, among other totalitarian regimes implemented these nightmarish measures. Neighbors ratting on neighbors, children ratting on parents, etc.

Guns today, thought crimes tomorrow.

I believe Stalin even introduced a quota system. If you didn't report your quota, then you were considered an enemy of state and you were sent to the Gulags yourself.

Or someone makes pro-life statements. Or say they don’t think a 4 year old can make a transgender decision. And who is to decide is they are radical? Psychiatrists?

This reminds me of the Sam Kinison bit where his girlfriend packed a gun in his suitcase.

Set up central.

I’m glad someone gets it.

This series of event leads me to believe gun rights are better off with a Dem President (the more narcissistic the better) and an R Congress. Then the Rs have to act like they give a damn as opposed to this traitorous weakness we are witnessing.

I might just sit out 2020.

That’s their end goal. They know they can’t do full scale confiscations now. They just want to get the process going. They will move towards confiscation one “gun control” bill at a time.

They have come right out and admitted that is their strategy. Every mass shooting they will demand more laws until they get the confiscation they desire.

Governments murdered 262,000,000 of their own citizens in the 20th century alone.

No other force on Earth even comes close.

RED FLAG! RED FLAG! RED FLAG!

“Start looking into why psychiatric drugs are being distributed by doctors like candy”.


That would be a really good idea.

Especially in view of the fact that EVERY one of these shootings over the past 20 years are connected to the use of SSRI drugs which come with the warning of suicidal and homicidal thoughts.

My FRiend, this is called giving up.

It is precisely what the Dems/progressive/Marxists want you to do.

Please reconsider.

No, it’s called “abstaining”.

I’ve done it before.

Red flag laws can work in a virtuous society. Realistically Adam Lanza's father should be in jail for not reporting his wife and son. Instead he just shoveled $15k a month (IIRC) to them and washed his hands.

It goes with my tag line. Trump was right, but I didn't realize how right. It's a shame we have to legislate values like "see something, say something (and the government does something)" and it will be abused. But that's what we have brought ourselves to.

Other things are conducive to madness. So the drugs might not even be so much wrong as misfocused. Like aspirin for a broken leg, but no cast.
