1) There is no ‘epidemic’ of “gun violence” – according to the FBI Uniform Crime Reports, it’s been dropping consistently for over two decades. Media hype does not an ‘epidemic’ make.
2) Fundamental rights cannot be denied without full due process protections, i.e. an adversarial hearing wherein a respondent can face his accusers, cross-examine witnesses, and present witnesses and evidence in his own behalf, BEFORE said rights are suspended/denied.
A warrant requires probable cause of a crime having been committed, or being committed. Red Flag laws sail right by this Constitutional requirement. Until an articulable criminal act is identified and attested to by an affidavit executed under oath, there can be no probable cause.

TO REMEMBER |
| As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms. — Tench Coxe in `Remarks on the First Part of the Amendments to the Federal Constitution' under the Pseudonym "A Pennsylvanian" in the Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 at 2 col. 1. |
