The following is a synopsis of the following USAToday article beleive it or not:

Red Flag laws suspend people’s constitutional rights by doing secretive hearings which deny the defendant the right to defend himself basically-

They have no say- they can ‘appeal the decision’ later- but who has the time, or money needed to defend themselves when they are INNOCENT to begin with?

The innocent owner is being punished not for a crime they committed, as required by our constitution- - but for a crime that hasn’t happened, which someone THINKS they MIGHT commit- the owner is financially crippled because someone THINKS they might someday ‘Do Something’- they are arrested based on someone’s SUBJECTIVE OPINION, usually the SUBJECTIVE OPINION of an anti-gun gun grabbing liberal!

100’s of 1000’s of veterans have lost their right to own guns based on similar laws- and only 50 or so have ever successfully regained their right to get back THEIR OWN GUNS- many couldn’t likely afford to appeal the decisions of the court-
