The gun control debate is fired up in Colorado again. Both sides are heated over House Bill 1177 (also referred to as the “red flag law”), which codifies the use of extreme risk protection orders, or ERPOs. Even if you don’t identify with either side of this debate, it is not hard to see how deeply flawed this legislation is and how it threatens many constitutional rights in addition to the Second Amendment.

Political Criminals could care less about Constitutional rights. They have written off one of the greatest documents ever created, and apparently are proud of all they are trying to do to get rid of it. Disgraceful..... |

So, what can be done about it? Simple, but not easy: file suit after suit after suit and push it up to the SCOTUS.
Given the makeup of the Court, I'm pretty sure that a 5-4 majority (or better) would hold that any civil action the results of which are indistinguishable from criminal penalties regarding liberty, rights and property are subject to the same constitutional strictures as are criminal procedures. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
The supposed quietude of a good mans allures the ruffian; while on the other hand, arms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. The same balance would be preserved were all the world destitute of arms, for all would be alike; but since some will not, others dare not lay them aside...Horrid mischief would ensue were one half the world deprived of the use of them... — Thomas Paine, I Writings of Thomas Paine at 56 (1894). |
