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 |
| To trust arms in the hands of the people at large has, in Europe, been believed...to be an experiment fraught only with danger. Here by a long trial it has been proved to be perfectly harmless...If the government be equitable; if it be reasonable in its exactions; if proper attention be paid to the education of children in knowledge and religion, few men will be disposed to use arms, unless for their amusement, and for the defence of themselves and their country. — Timothy Dwight, Travels in New England and New York [London 1823] |
