You'll never guess which state just ruled gun confiscation 'red flag' laws unconstitutional: Surprise? It's a BLUE State

The hideous laws designed to violate almost all parts of the Bill of Rights are finally being struck down as unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court of the State of New York, the state's second highest court, recently ruled the state's so-called "red flag" law unconstitutional. These unconstitutional gun confiscation schemes go by different designations, but they are colloquially known as red flag laws. The gun-grabbing ghouls of the far left are creative in describing their operation.

Anyone supportive of individual liberty and our commonsense civil rights has been horrified at how these authoritarian abominations violate almost all aspects of the Bill of Rights. Even worse, they signal a new era in gun control and selective enforcement of the law.

Anti-liberty authoritarians started with a direct violation of everyone's commonsense civil right of self-defense by crafting gun confiscation laws without due process. But don't ever expect them to utter the C-word; they've worn out their dictionaries and thesauruses, looking for soft-sounding alternatives to the word "confiscation," even though that is exactly what is taking place. This was coupled with the evisceration of the people's right to due process, so right off the bat, they violated the 2nd and 5th Amendments without breaking a sweat.

Then just to sweeten the deal, they've executed these unconstitutional atrocities with ex parte ("from one party") proceedings, as the Legal Information Institute of Cornell Law School states:

Typically, a court will be hesitant to make an ex parte motion. This is because the Fifth Amendment and the Fourteenth Amendment guarantee a right to due process, and ex parte motions — due to their exclusion of one party — risk violating the excluded party's right to due process.

Doesn’t that make SCOTUS the next stop?

It's a state law in State court, hasn't been heard by the Federal courts yet, Second Circuit (if it ever gets there) will uphold, USSC will never accept for review unless another circuit has already ruled red flag laws unconstitutional - which will never happen because of the enormous leverage they give to women who file for divorce (90% of restraining orders without divorce involved are failed against very dangerous men, 90% of restraining orders filed by divorcing women are the result of perjury).
