So if this is an example of the purpose of the RFL but achieved without them then why the push to pass RFL’s at all? The same result can already be achieved while also following due process. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No. This is an example of someone makes a credible threat and you can arrest them without red flag laws. The very fact that every state already has legal framework in place to do such things is EXACTLY why you should understand red flag laws are explicitly NOT about that. Not even a little.

father-of-three 242 Posted September 19, 2019 Sadly, I think people are finding out the hard way that the first amendment no longer applies equally to them if they own firearms, with regards to making statements that can be taken out of context. This appears to be more common now, based on how unreasonably scared the accuser is. I am by no means condoning offensive speech by saying this, just that equal treatment under the law is being further destroyed by so called "extreme risk protection orders."
