Pres. Donald Trump called for a national Red Flag law on Monday morning after two weekend mass shootings. A similar law, or or Extreme Risk Protective Order, was signed into law by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis earlier this year.
The law would take guns away from someone who is a threat to themselves or others. It is set to go into effect in Colorado next yea

This is some Soviet style crap here. If he does this he’s toast.
They want it to, cbs using gnostism again.
they are making mental health the cudgel by which they will beat us into submission and consent to a new law for the children
Last year it was Bump Stocks
The previous year it became Red Flag laws(mental health)
Next will be weapons of war
Or
Limitations on magazine capacity (one Freepee already suggested that this morning as the foundation of his thread)
Why not have all guns storee at the local P.D. armory. Yep, you can get your property, by appointment only, at their hours and days only.
You must return your property to the armory by a specific date and time, which will be limited and if you are late , you will suffer the wrath of LEO...
Here are the 20 rounds you allowed to have during this period...
And so forth
Whats the choice - vote for Biden?
We need a new political party.
Yup. SWATing would become a tool of Antifa. They already have anonymous tip lines for people to report pro2A activity.
Have any of these orders been issued? I haven’t heard of any.
Wow - how many of the Bill of Rights can they destroy with one stupid law?
This is how President Trump separates himself from his base.
Rush said only he could do it.
All those prior service folks riding the PTSD gravy train may be surprised when their medical status gets linked into the coming “Red Flag” laws.
There are those who do suffer from PTSD but it’s become the free money express the last 10 years.
Already seen suggestions for “See a MAGA hat, report terrorist activity”
I don’t think the commie red flag law for Colorado takes effect for a year. Several Sheriffs said they could not enforce it. It violates about 4 constitutional rights including due process.
“They already have anonymous tip lines for people to report pro2A activity.”
Who is “they” and what are the tip line numbers to call?
A man in MD was killed by the police carrying one out.
“Whats the choice - vote for Biden?”
I am beginning to think that maybe Al Gore should have won the election, along with subsequent Marxist Democrats.
That way we would have gone straight to communism and the shock would have actually woke people up enough to actually take care of business.
Voting Republicans in has only served to take us down the slow road to tyranny. Frog in boiling water theory...
What if they have regular cops enforce it? Immediate threat, and all that.
They know that can’t do a wholesales registry and confiscation, so they will try the incremental approach.
Of course it all depends on who decides and we all know that the deep state agencies will do everything to call the shots. We will then have a very elastic definitions of who could harm themselves or others.
The FBI would consider anyone espousing what they consider to be conspiracy theories as dangerous thus justifying confiscation. They will troll through social media and solicit “help” from leftist activists that probably in many cases be paid to send in bogus information. This approach was used extensively in the Soviet Union to send anti-communist subversives with a “mental disorder” to Siberian gulags. Psychiatrists have quite a bit of flexibility in declaring that someone has a mental disorder, and that’s because the classification of mental disorders is often based on symptom reporting (but also on some cases abnormal observed behaviors) and not a definitive or objective study demonstrating pathology like most other diseases.
This has to be stopped.
Pete your 100% correct. I’ve warned Vets about this but that disability check speaks louder than I do.
Why do you stab veterans in the back for getting treatment for problems.
The law also permits anonymous complaints and concealment of identity for the complaining party.
There are no objective basis in law for appealing Red Flag orders and they can be renewed each year after review. It is up to the whims of the judge.
That is similar to Red Flag laws that have been passed in other States.
The purpose of these laws is to enable Government officials to forcibly disarm anyone they do not like. "Public Safety" is the cover lie used to justify these measures.
