Just fucking stop.
This thread was started by you about how "red flag laws don't work".
If the issue was about taking them away from domestic abusers, the argument would be "don't presume guilt" at time of sale.
If the issue was taking them away from terrorists that side would also pull the "don't presume guilt" at time of sale.
If the issue was the mentally ill, again, "don't presume guilt" at time of sale.
Again, taking firearms away from someone after a legal buy does NOT prevent the legal buyer from getting violent with that firearm after the legal buy.
So again, that list above are also reactionary concepts which I DO AGREE WITH. But all of them have to be considered "Red flag" laws.
I simply think it would make the firearm industry look one shitload more responsible if we didn't have to react to a violent act after a legal buy.
Do you want to keep them out of the wrong hands or not?
