For me it is a red flag to take an oath to support and defend the constitution, and then proceed to attack and undermine the constitution.
The various red flag laws & proposals may be the worst example of this.
1st amendment - "Congress shall make no law... abridging the freedom of speech...". But if you say the wrong thing, we break down your door and seize your property.
2nd amendment - "... the right to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Unless you say the wrong thing, and we don't like you.
4th amendment -" The right of the people to be secure in their person's, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated... ". How do you justify searching for and sizing legally owned guns? Well they MIGHT do something bad with them. Can we take guns from the Police because they MIGHT kill a black person with it?
5th amendment -"... nor shall any person... be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law..." Unless it's a gun (and the associated liberty to keep and bear it), and anyone makes any sort of unsubstantiated accusation against you.
Violating 4 of the 10 amendments of the bill of RIGHTS, a new record for a single bill ?
Better not piss off your spouse, ex, girl/boy friend, or neighbor or they can screw you over big time by just saying you threatened to kill someone (that slow driver in the fast lane we all threaten to kill).
The are many things that will disqualify you from ever owning or possessing a gun again. All the government has to do is do their jobs and prove those cases and the problem is solved without taking a crap on the Constitution and American legal principles.
