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 |
| You are bound to meet misfortune if you are unarmed because, among other reasons, people despise you....There is simply no comparison between a man who is armed and one who is not. It is unreasonable to expect that an armed man should obey one who is unarmed, or that an unarmed man should remain safe and secure when his servants are armed. In the latter case, there will be suspicion on the one hand and contempt on the other, making cooperation impossible. — Niccolo Machiavelli in "The Prince." |
