So, the article doesn’t show “just cause” as to why they wanted to take gun. Was he threatening someone? A slippery slope.
what I’ve gathered is this was a domestic issue....seems over ‘moving out’ a member of the family off the property that day , one of the aunts were afraid he or someone with access to the guns might cause trouble.
The whole point of “red flag” laws is so they don’t have to show just cause. All they need is a report from someone, so a judge can issue a preemptive order. Then, only if you comply with the order, can you later try to “prove your innocence” to get the red flag removed.
It’s a complete reversal of standard jurisprudence.
