You know what this is. You know what to do. And as always, be civil.

Judicial people already have remedies for disarming people who are a danger to themselves or others. The red flag laws most likely involve a kind of court order that is similar to a domestic restraining order. I've known several professionals (two of them doctors: MDs) with perfect histories and reputations, who spent all that they had in typically futile fights against such orders for the purpose of spending time with their own children. As soon as they were old enough to decide, years later as teens, their children ran to them and stayed with them from then on to escape abuse from their other parents.
One error on my part in the excerpt above. I should *not* have put an ellipsis between “appears to be working” and “We’ve seen” The second sentence immediately follows the first in the article.
I should have posted that part of the excerpt as follows.

Even gun rights advocates, who are afraid of government abuse, say it appears to be working. “We’ve seen the downside of people who are distraught or crazy taking out their problems on the general public,” said Dave Workman of the Bellevue, Wash.-based Second Amendment Foundation. “We don’t want that to happen here.”

After weeks of saying the authorities ignored what a nutjob the Parkland shooter was, what did you expect?
This “red flag” nonsense is going to backfire on the politicians big time. They better be prepared to have their asses sued. Relatives and neighbors love to turn people in for BS when there is a family feud or neighborhood spat. When they are challenged about their allegations, they change their minds about what they said. Believe me. I dealt with this kind of BS hundreds of times on my last job before retiring.
If an individual is too dangerous to possess a fire arm, they are too dangerous to be at large, and must therefore be committed...
They are working? Illegal means are working? Wow. Taking guns like this without compensation and the cops keeping them instead of heirs is a violation of the 2nd Amendment. These guns belong to the militia, not the public at large.
Another socialism box checked and sheeps find it cool
So if they are nuts enough to be a danger to themselves or others seizing an object not the person solves the problem?
Our education system is the problem. We are paying for our own demise with Public Education.
I have little faith in fake news. Workman is likely quoted out of context.
One problem with these kinds of laws is that they can and will be used and abused by liberals as a way to attack and destroy their opposition.
On the surface the purpose of these laws is supposedly to provide a way to disarm people who are a danger to themselves or others.
But who defines what constitutes a danger to oneself or others?
You know darn well these laws will be abused to silence opposition to, and criticism of, the liberal agenda.
People like anti-abortionists, climate deniers and constitutionalists will be targets and fair game for the liberals.
As will owners of too many guns, scary looking guns, stockpiles of ammo, etc.
Do they not see the YUGE problem? This leaves law abiding rational people DEFENSELESS against irrational law breakers!
didn’t some very influential American executive office holder recently dismiss due process.
Isn’t that just what a NY liberal does? Give more power to the government and to criminals.
More infringements.. now that’s winning right there.
If anyone ever made such a report about me and I disagreed, it would permanently end our relationship. Marriage? Divorce, with no discussion of reconciliation (and I'm happily married). Children? Disowned. Unless in retrospect I believed they had been right, even their claimed perspective that they were doing the right thing would not matter.
Also, I assume the criteria for disarming Americans will expand over time, as will the duration of the disarmament. This will, like all other schemes to disarm the people, turn out to be a harmful idea.
