Due to the recent mass shootings, there is a major push for so-called “red flag” gun laws at both the state and federal levels. These laws are the latest tool for gun control advocates to confiscate guns from people based upon only tips and suspicion. No crime has to be committed to trigger an investigation or confiscation.
Red flag laws violate multiple rights protected by our constitution. The Hill has an excellent article on how red flag laws violate more than the 2nd Amendment, including:

Before I write anything else, let me be clear. Wagshol is not some squeaky-clean, innocent angel. He wrote some vile racist and transphobic tweets. He also seemed to taunt the FBI in his tweets, which certainly isn’t the smartest thing in the world to do. That being said, holding bigoted views is not the same things as acting on those views. Voicing his bigoted opinions, while disgusting, is not a criminal act. The First Amendment protects his right to voice his hate in the same way that it protects flag burning. No one has to like it, but it’s not a criminal act.
Wagshol may also have been caught in a few lies made on Facebook. According to Norwalk police Lt. Terry Blake:
What kind of firearms were confiscated?
I bet you’re expecting to read a long list of firearms. The media spin has been predictable. CNN said “numerous” firearms were confiscated. The Washington Post described the weapons confiscated as a “cache” However, according to the Hartford Courrant:
Inside the condominium, authorities reported seizing a .40-caliber handgun, a .22-caliber rifle, a rifle scope with laser, firearm optics and flashlights, along with hundreds of rounds of ammunition. They also found body armor with a titanium plate, and tactical attire, police said.
So, two firearms. That’s what we’re talking about. And, the rifle takes the smallest rounds possible. It’s the kind of round you use plinking or to shoot squirrels or small pests. Who doesn’t have this stuff kicking around?

so his guns were confiscated for ‘possible future crimes’ in other words- he had them taken away for ‘thought crimes’?
Big constitution violations. The supremes should slam dunk this.

The dems are promising “Strong protections for due process” Eh? LIARS!

PRECISELY! Fully half the population will be permanently Red Flagged from ever owning a firearm, just like the Founding Fathers intended...
‘Tactical attire’? A guy in one of my training classes wears 5.11 head to toe, every day. ‘Tactical attire’?
No, his dad’s guns were seized since the assclown had access to them. WTH? Guess it’s like a domestic thing. No firearms in the house the accused is living in. You know due process and stuff.
Surely they meant strong protections against due process.
Hoe Lee Crap! They’re gonna hit us twice? :-)
I’m not sure how that double posted.......
Pay cash for a junk phone.
Obtain a list of Democrat campaign workers and voters.
Make some Red Flag phone calls.
There is nobody more suspect to perform future crimes.
This is best for public safety. /s
We need to be careful what we say on all public sites - this is (should be) common-sense op-sec.
Even if I did have guns I wouldn't mention it on an open forum.
By transphobic, you mean he has am irrational fear of transgenders?
Sorry, but anything “phobic” just ticks me off. I am not irrationally fearful of trans or gays; I just don’t approve of their behavior or their agendas.
OK, back to read the rest of your post. :)
that’s bad bad bad- He wasn’t convicted of any crime- and NO WAY should his father’s guns have been removed- that is a violation of his rights-
[[Big constitution violations. The supremes should slam dunk this.]]
They may not ‘be able to’ once these4 unconstitutional red flag laws are implemented- They might let lower court rulings stand based on the state’s ‘rights to protect their citizens’ being exploited by these laws. NY violated everyone’s constitutional rights with their idiotic unconstitutional ‘Safe act’ which turns law abiding citizens into felons if they don’t turn in their guns that are now on the ban list-
We are in a very serious fight to protect our inalienable right to self defense- the left are slowly chipping away- and people like lindsay and ilk, going along with red flag laws- is a very bad sign for our side
