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.
Ya fair enough. I would be in favor of a good system with checks and balances instead of taking all the warning labels off and letting people have at it. Shall not be infringed is pretty clear.
