Why is it that these "red flag" laws only catch ordinary gun owners who pose no risk to anyone, but never catch the actual loons?

“The man charged with killing seven people at a Chicago-area July Fourth parade slipped past the safeguards of an Illinois “red flag” law . . .”
In other words, the much vaunted law does not work.

He-—or “it” slipped by.
But some angry, evil woman will turn in her innocent ex to deliberately get him into legal trouble. Multiplied by thousands of angry women and we have a crisis.

Red flag laws are for persecuting people whom the power structure dislikes for whatever reason. Public safety has nothing to do with it.
To: jdege
“Slipped past,” the euphemism of the day. How about just saying it utterly failed again.

red flag problems....
I heard they take the weapon, lock it up, the guy has to pay a lawyer and a fee to get it out much later——if getting over all hurdles is completed.
And everyone including employer assumes the guy is guilty and some kind of nutjob. Even if totally innocent.
Elderly cat lady and weird neighbor on either side tell cops “he kept to himself but put up that American flag once in a while.” “Saw his Trump sign just before some teens burned it.” “kept to himself and didn’t go to our block party to raise money for BLM.”

If an individual has a tattoo on their face, you don’t need red flag laws to discern their character and intent.

Based on what I have seen, I am forced to conclude that Red Flag laws are not about preventing lunatics from getting weapons. My own suspicion is that they are for harassing gunowners, especially outspoken conservatives.

Highland Park should declare their parades to be gun free zones. That’ll work.
