Seems like this is OK but like the article says is just missing the metal health aspect. If we have red-flag laws and someone is identified by them, then they are given mental help that seems like a good thing no? While they are undergoing treatment they maybe shouldn't have a weapon of any kind?
I don't really have a hard stance on this but I do agree with Dan, leaving weapons in the hands of people not getting the help they need is bad.
The issue is that the person being targeted by the flag law is robbed of due process. Until a citizen commits a crime and is arrested and convicted, they have all the rights of a citizen. Have you seen Minority Report? Did you miss the point? Also, "Mental instability" is not a crime and is extremely subjective. Imagine if some lunatic like Harris or Bernie were in power and declared that being a Trump supporter was a sign of mental instability and violence, or {insert any political opinion} and Boom! Take everyone's gun and implement.
He supported Red Flag Laws. I've agreed with him on everything else, but violating constitutional rights is a huge black mark in my book.
Do you have documentation for when the former navy seal said people shouldn't have guns ?
