They are called Extreme-Risk Protection Orders. Some people call them Red-Flag Gun Confiscation.
In practice, these laws are designed for abuse. We’ve already seen them fail to stop violent crime. At best, innocent individuals have to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get their rights restored after they’ve been served with a red-flag order.
Is that the unavoidable price of freedom, or is that the bigoted abuse of a disfavored minority for political gain? |

The Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, declares,"[N]or shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or " Property", without due process of law". Maybe it's time to remind these elected officials, that Government was not to exercise any power not delegated to it by the Constitution. Any person advocating gun control, gun registration, etc., of law abiding citizens without due process of law, does not deserve to be an elected representative.

| Illegal confiscation of property. I have to wonder how many of these are the result of an angry wife getting back at her husband. |

Why is it that even the most cogent and thorough advocates for fundamental firearms and property rights persist in omitting the slam-dunk winning argument of the debate?
The Constitution says that it cannot be done without full due process.
The other arguments are superfluous, despite being germane. This is the first condition that must be met, before moving on to the others. Without the law first mandating due process, all ostensible justifications are moot. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
