Stupid democrats always forcing more rules and regulations on the people we're supposed to be a free people but you'd never know that by the way the democrats act
Red flag laws dont violate other laws. That makes no sense. There is no "law" that says mentally ill people CAN have guns. You're trying to refer to the supreme court ruling where Clearance Thomas wrote the majority decision saying gun laws have to follow historical context. The supreme court does not make laws.
Red Flag laws violate multiple other laws. Mainly due process. Background checks for private sales is also unconstitutional. The ATF has already proven to have a searchable database, a.k.a. a registry, based off of background checks.
I think we already have a system of checks and balances in place. Make sure you read the fine print of this bill! In my estimation, they are attempting to pour taxpayers money into problems the current administration has fomented.
