The enforcement problems with gun-grabbing ‘red flag’ laws are even worse than you think

Once again we see where the road paved with good(?) intentions lead.

[Vendome]

Hah!

That dude is my attorney

[Boomer]

Except I don’t believe the law makers have good intentions on this issue at all.

[Taxman]

“Red Flag” laws are NOT “good intention” laws!

The LIEberals mean to disarm America, and these laws are but one more arrow in their quiver!

[Rashputin]

"Once again we see where the road paved with good(?) intentions lead. "

These and almost all other anti-gun laws are NOT based on good intentions.

They flow from self-serving, opportunistic, politicians playing on the temporary emotional reactions of the ill informed or from groups of politicians who disregard what the voters want to raise their stature in the eyes of their own anti-Constitution peers.

I am sure cooler heads will prevail. /s

[momincombatboots]

Nor did our Founders.

[Luke21]

Very well stated.

Is it Bloomberg that is sticking his nose in the business of we the people in 17 states or is it someone else?

Ask Lori Rodriguez, a plaintiff in a case that has been kicking around the California and federal courts for six years. The Ninth Circuit Court recently invented a new exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement.

And that is why we have the 2nd Amendment!

You know I think it goes beyond mere opportunism, but that plays a role. The Dems and rinos want a disarmed public to consolidate power. The pols are compromised by deep state operatives.

We need a law that allows you to shoot anyone who tries to take your guns away from you under a red flag law.

[SkyDancer]

Always have alternate places for your guns. And only keep junk ones at home (except for the hidden one you use for defense).

The Colonists had a solution for those RED coats that came to take their guns, food and molest their daughters.

I am praying that PDJT will insert into any Red Flag bill two poison pills: insistence on full due process meaning the “accused” confronts his accuser in court before any action is taken; and harsh & I mean harsh penalties including prison time for those making false statements to police or judges. Felony perjury is what it is.

Democrats will choke on both of those.

[TBP]

They’re meant to disarm the law-abiding.

[Kolb]

Red Flag laws will conjure the monsters and tragedies they are seeking to prevent.

[familyop]

Ping. Here’s an explanation with examples by a lawyer, if you’re interested. If not, my apology...

[databoss]

Exactly, they will twist it. You have an AR-15, you must be a crazed individual, therefore...
