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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
