Been watching the 'knee-jerk' response of those in government over shootings around the country.
I guess the one that bothers me the most is the very ambiguous "Red Flag Law". To my mind the law is nothing but a 'get even' tool.
Get in an argument with my neighbor, get in an argument at the store. Whats to stop them from claiming I'm a threat?
What safe guards are to put be in place so that there are no false accusations? How is law enforcement to know if they are lying or not?
Are all of the protections afforded by our Constitution going to be ignored? I am at a loss to understand how this 'law' can even be considered.
"Innocent until proven guilty"
Isn't that one of our most basic protections? The "Red Flag Law" provides the exact opposite?
I guess my question is how is this even possible? We are actually entertaining a law that strips every protection from false accusations away from citizens?
Wonder if we'll get to vote on this or will it be crammed down our throat like 'healthcare'?
How do I protect myself if it happens to me? What steps can I take before hand? What should I do during? After? I assume Law Shield will help with the legal aspect but what about the 'in between'? The arrest, the confiscation? Is there anything I can do or should I just bend over and take it and then after the fact try and repair my life? This law really bothers me.
