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 |
| Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. — Noah Webster in "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787, in Paul Ford, ed., Pamphlets on the Constitution of the United States, at p. 56 (New York, 1888). |
