The 2nd A has got to be the most regulated of the original Bill Of Rights. What is scary about "Red Flag Laws" is everyones individual interpretation of "Due Process Of Law" which depends on where one stands on gun control issues --and don't let the gun grabbers continue to say "Gun Safety" its all about Gun Control.
When you look at the history of Federal Gun Control in the US for the past 100 years --haven't we "caved" enough? Law abiding responsible gun owners always get the sh*t end of the stick--how about strict enforcement and severe penalties of existing regulations and laws instead of layering on more ineffective regulation and laws.
1934: National Firearms Act (NFA) imposed a $200 tax and a registration requirement on the making and transfer of certain guns, including shotguns and rifles with barrels shorter than 18 inches (“short-barreled”), machine guns, firearm mufflers and silencers, and specific firearms labeled as “any other weapons” by the NFA.
1938: The Federal Firearms Act of 1938 made it illegal to sell guns to certain people (including convicted felons) and required federal firearms licensees (FFLs; people who are licensed by the federal government to sell firearms) to maintain customer records.
1968: The Gun Control Act. The GCA regulates interstate gun commerce, prohibiting interstate transfer unless completed among licensed manufacturers, importers, and dealers, and restricts gun ownership.
1986: Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986 (FOPA) revised some of the many regulatory burdens imposed by the 1968 GCA. In exchange for a complete ban on machine gun sales (except those that were previously registered under the NFA), the Act, among other revisions to prior laws, allowed gun dealers to sell guns away from the address listed on their license; limited the number of inspections the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (now the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) could perform without a warrant; prevented the federal government from maintaining a database of gun dealer records; and removed the requirement that gun dealers keep track of ammunition sales.
1993: The Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 (also called the Brady Act) was signed into law on Nov. 30, 1993 and required a five-day waiting period for a licensed seller to hand over a gun to an unlicensed person in states without an alternate background check system. The five-day waiting period has since been replaced by an instant background check system that can take up to three days if there is an inconsistency or more information is needed to complete the sale. Gun owners who have a federal firearms license or a state-issued permit are exempt from the waiting period.
1994: The Federal Assault Weapons Ban (Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act), part of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on Sep. 13, 1994. The ban outlawed 19 models of semi-automatic assault weapons by name and others by “military features,” as well as large-capacity magazines manufactured after the law’s enactment. The ban expired on Sep. 13, 2004 and was not renewed.
2007: The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) Improvement Amendments Act of 2007 was enacted as a condition of the Brady Act and provides incentives to states (including grants from the Attorney General) for them to provide information to NICS including information on people who are prohibited from purchasing firearms. The NICS was implemented on Nov. 30, 1998 and later amended on Jan. 8, 2008 in response to the Apr. 16, 2007 Virginia Tech University shooting so that the Attorney General could more easily acquire information pertinent to background checks such as disqualifying mental conditions.

Red flag laws have the potential to be abused, an avenue by which gun grabber can go against lawful gun owners on a wholesale level. In a sane world anyone with an ounce of common sense would see this, anyone with a law degree should be screaming against it. But then we do not seem to be in a period where common sense and sanity are prevalent. If this passes law abiding gun owners are headed for a very rocky road.
