He made the comments Thursday after earlier saying the most contentious remaining issues related to state 'red flag' laws and closing the so called 'boyfriend loophole' for gun restrictions on people that currently apply to abusive spouses.

“numerical limits are the key.”

No. The “key” is not having laws that use secret court hearings that order our constitutional rights.

And then he used a McConnell standard legislative tactic. The man knows the system.

"There are better and worse versions of the red flag laws. There are no acceptable versions."

Absolutely correct. Such laws turn "innocent until PROVEN guilty" into "GUILTY until you prove yourself innocent".
