Red Flag laws.\u00a0 Again.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sure as the gods made little green apples, Red Flag laws are back in the headlines.<\/p>\n

For the people who think these are a great idea, I have one simple question:<\/p>\n

How many people have been convicted of misusing a Red Flag law?<\/p>\n

Whatever you want to call it — “Misusing”, “False filing”, “Obtaining under perjury”, whatever — a fraudulently-obtained Red Flag law denies the person it was obtained against a civil right. Civil rights that the Government should be bending over backwards to protect.<\/p>\n

The first Red Flag law was passed in 1999. 23 years ago. People are people, and someone has blatantly lied to obtain a Red Flag order against someone.<\/p>\n

Someone in the last 23 years has misused a Red Flag law to harass someone else.\u00a0So. Show me their conviction for doing so.<\/p>\n

I know about the time someone tried to get a Red Flag order against the cops, and that doesn’t count — some animals being more equal to other animals, and all that.<\/p>\n

I’m talking about Joe Average having his civil rights taken away for a year with a misused Red Flag order. It has happened — we all know that it has happened — and I want to see the criminal record of the person who fraudulently deprived someone else of their Second Amendment right for a year.<\/p>\n

Any claim of “Well, they’re so well checked that it’s never been abused” it complete and utter horse-puckey — I was in law enforcement for 26 years, that isn’t going to fly.<\/p>\n

Absent a conviction, I will accept the name of a judge who rubber-stamped every Red Flag request to cross his desk, never turned one down, and was removed from office because of it.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have that information, then your opinion on Red Flag laws means nothing; and you should be ignored.<\/p>\n
