“Red Flag Laws Won’t Prevent Another Massacre”

Nonsense.

They’ll prevent many.

But at great cost to liberty. Personally, I think the cost is too high.

But these laws will work to reduce mass shootings, maybe a bomb or two etc.

In fact, MANY people on FR have been lamenting for years that everyone around these crazy bastards KNEW they were going to blow, but nothing could be done.

Society must have a threshold and a process for controlling the actions of crazy people. Taking away their guns is the first step in bringing them under control and allowing time to determine the level of threat.

Unfortunately, we KNOW these laws will be abused.

But, they will work.

At least until they acquire another gun.

Shouldn’t take to long if one is motivated.

How? You think that someone that intends to kill a bunch of people will suddenly have a change of heart and mind? Hardly they will just find another gun and do what they want too!

Things could have been done that were not done, certainly true in Parkland.

Red Flag laws will capture the talkers who would never - as well as large numbers of people who never would.

What people knew “was not known” before it happened. Having Known someone was “going to blow” is confirmation of - not prediction of.
