Contact the NRA About NOT Supporting Any Red Flag Laws

By Philip Van Cleave

Opinion

Virginia – -(AmmoLand.com)- The NRA has taken a public position supporting Red Flag laws. This happened last year. To be fair, the NRA did want certain key things in those laws:

• 1) A strong due process requirement and
• 2) A requirement that the subject of the Red Flag law get treatment

and they should have added:

• 3) That anyone lying to get someone “Red Flagged” would suffer **severe** legal consequences

Here’s the problem and why we need to get the NRA to walk away from Red Flag laws: NONE of the Red Flag bills in Congress, or anywhere else, have any of those protections! Red Flag laws focus on an inanimate object (firearms) and NOT the individual who may be the real danger to himself and/or others.

And how would due process be done BEFORE the guns are confiscated? Why just guns? What about all the other weapons that a person has access to – from poisons to kitchen knives to automobiles?

Since none of the bills have what the NRA wants, making them nothing more than gun confiscation disguised as “public safety,” there is NO REASON for the NRA to remain silent.
