Red Flag laws have no measurable effect in California.

So, by Leftist logic, we need more of them!

Yup. Obvious need to strengthen the existing ones. Maybe add a couple more while they’re at it. 😵‍💫

When Red Flag was implemented in CO then first victim was a county sheriff the lefties hated.

This basically sums up what knee jerk gun control legislation is really about:

“Progressives have never valued due process or limited government. Because the Second Amendment limits what governments are allowed to do, antipathy to the Second Amendment is in Progressive DNA.”

These people do not care if scarce tax money was better spent on women’s shelters or youth crisis intervention initiatives or many other things that deal with criminal violence regardless of the weapon used. This is about legitimizing what they want to do as mentioned in the above quote.

When you understand that the goal is only to take guns away from people, you see it works just fine.

Red flag advocates are really stupoid people. Gun owners in States with red flag laws simply store them in their relatives` or neighbors` or other people`s houses. Duuuhhhh even a 3rd grader can figure out how to get around this stupid law. My cat is smarter than these morons. These people do not even know that the British tried to do this too in 1775? They are reaallyy stupod people.

Since all of these shooters seem to be “known to authorities”, then haven’t they, already, in a way, been red-flagged? What is the point of giving authorities a head’s up when they can’t do anything about it anyway?

I predict that shortly we will see these orders being issued on the basis of social media posts that are conservative or criticize the government in any way. Or just on the basis of disinformation.

Red Flag laws are only good for pissed of Ex's and liberal neighbors to cause trouble.

The actual threats are never acted on.

Keywords are “further study is needed....”

AFAIC, JAMA lost all credibility with me and many others in their obedience to the Pharma/Govt Dark Force wrt to Covid 19 vaccinations. They mean nothing.

So Red Flag laws have no measurable effect in CA. I guess they didn’t look at real consequences of Red Flag laws. Just by virtue of having a law on the books leftists argue those laws had an effect. I write of the growing number of people that agree people’s rights should be revoked without a crime and due process. There are even people on Free Republic that think this is okay. I know. I have argued with them. Nothing more than scared pussies that do not value freedom and are unwilling to take personal responsibility while to giving responsibility to government. Choke on your face diapers, pussies.
