FEE did a 7 Reasons article that lists the following reasons why Red Flag Laws are a bad idea. FEE did a 7 Reasons article that lists the following reasons why Red Flag Laws are a bad idea. (1) Don't reduce violence (2) Congress lacks authority (3) States that tried had no good results (4) Due Process violations (5) More violence (6) False Positives (7) Pre-crime -- guilt by assumption of what you might do. ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2019-10-14

FEE did a 7 Reasons article that lists the following reasons why it's a bad ideas:

1. No Evidence Red Flag Laws Reduce Gun Violence - in a free country you shouldn't restrict liberty without evidence it will help
2. Congress Lacks the Authority - in a Constitutional Republic, the constitution reigns supreme, until they've ammended the constitution, it should be a no fly item.
3. We Have Federalism - States can do it. (The ones that tried, haven't shown any positive results)
4. Red Flag Laws Violate Due Process: duh! My 4th and 6th Amendment argument
5. Red Flag Laws Could Lead to More Violence: obviously. You can't create this law, without door to door siezures, which is violence to beget violence.
6. It’s Not Just the “Mentally Ill” and Grave Threats Who Are Flagged: false positives
7. They’re Basically Pre-Crime: you're judging someone guilty before they've done anything. While that's great for dystopian SciFi thrillers, we probably shouldn't rush into it IRL
   
   

Red Flag Laws

Red Flag laws sound reasonable (flag people that are threats, and take their guns away temporarily), but they aren't implemented that way. Everywhere it's been tried, it's been abused and gotten people killed. If you can't implement it in a way where it wouldn't be abused by other individuals or government, then how is it reasonable?
