JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — In the wake of the mass shooting at a Uvalde, Texas, elementary school, Congress is weighing a plan to give states incentives to adopt “red flag” laws like the one Florida enacted in 2018 that is aimed at keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous or mentally unstable individuals.

Florida's law to keep guns from wackos is pretty good. I don't agree with the 1yr confiscation but the hearing and adjudication are pretty good.

But, again, if we refer this FL law to what happened in Texas it would not have prevented anything.

The identified “dangerous” people are the tip of the iceberg.

Very parallel to the “child abuse background checks”....great at catching potential repeat offenders but absolutely useless in detecting and preventing first-timers.

A lot of people are dangerous. Probably best to just focus on genuine psychos.

Is it really that hard for people to understand that the real problem is people with evil hearts?

The FL law is very strict, and the burden is on the government. They want this and Manchin-Toomey, them they have to give on allowing teachers to be armed.

It is when Democrats control the media. They blame it on "white supremacy" rather than their policies.

Remember George Zimmerman the "White Hispanic"?

Define dangerous. All atf or a dim congress has to do is change the definition. And a gop-e congress will be to afraid to change it.

Parents and Grandparents need to take the guns from the perimeter PoPo and en masse breach the perp’s position and snuff him early on.

Florida pols have wanted to give the teachers the option to carry for quite some time.

If they’re dangerous, they need to be locked up. Open up the asylums, stupid.

Read the FL law. I predict nothing will happen though. The Dumbs will go overboard, and demand everything. The issue is never the issue, the issue is the revolution.

I’d probably take it with a national right to carry law.

The SCOTUS may take care of that.

“Dangerous people” will eventually expand to include mentally ill, ex-cons, toxic males, divorced males, veterans, gun nuts, right-wingers, MAGA voters, conservatives, Christians, pro-lifers, constitutionalists, climate change deniers, homophobes, etc., etc., etc.

Are you now or have you ever been a MAGA supporter?

LOL! I suggested on here the other day they need to change the 4473 to ask:

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Democrat Party?

“Is it really that hard for people to understand that the real problem is people with evil hearts?”

Left wingers won’t understand your true statement.

With that crowd its *mostly excuses for the animal that commits the homicidal atrocity, then blame the tool that was used in the homicidal atrocity.

My position is simple, if you harm other human beings for non self defense purposes- You no longer get to participate in civilization, the death penalty or life imprisonment are both acceptable to me. Plus my position is consistent regardless of race, religion, gender, etc.

*Their position changes if the atrocity is committed by a white male against blacks, women, gays, and other gender weirdos.
