It can come from anyone, including someone who hates you or someone who simply doesn't like your politics. Now, that complaint doesn't come from a grand jury. All that's required to punish you is a complaint, possibly even an anonymous complaint in which somebody says you seem dangerous. Under red flag laws, the government doesn't have to prove you did anything wrong in order to strip you of your most basic rights. People move to this country from all over the globe to benefit from it. This is the way we've done things in America for more than 200 years, and it's exactly why we have and have always had the fairest justice system in the world. It's called a grand jury and this government must convince them that you deserve to be punished or they cannot proceed. So, what would that mean if we do?įor serious crimes with big penalties, the government has to convince a group of your fellow citizens first. Who would? So naturally, you're for red flag laws and in fact, we may soon get red flag walks across the country. You want crazy people to have guns? Of course, you don't. Red flag laws seem like one of those ideas that no decent person could possibly oppose. So, a lot of Americans, not surprisingly, now say they want red flag laws, and why wouldn't they? Like supporting Black Lives Matter or fighting climate change or getting the COVID shot or standing with the brave people of Ukraine. Who doesn't want to prevent mass shootings? Well, only the gun lobby. In fact, it's such an obvious solution that you had to wonder why we weren't already doing that. The government, they informed us, could actually end mass shootings tomorrow simply by taking the guns away from mass shooters before they commit mass shootings. So, after the killings in Buffalo and Uvalde a few weeks ago, you begin to hear people on television talk about something called red flag laws. We'll address that at some length tomorrow. Joe Biden's publicist just announced with a straight face that he plans to run again in 2024.
