This is how redflag laws should be written.

This is unacceptable. We're talking someone who is deemed to be dangerous, but has committed no crime. Deeming someone dangerous is very subjective. While I may find someone throwing stuff out of their house because they and their spouse got in an argument, someone else might think the opposite. The constitution does not mention that part of due process is considering someone 'dangerous'. Exhibiting dangerous behavior is not a crime. Doing dangerous things that result in the destruction of property or injury to a person (and in many cases animals), is a crime.

Because determining someone with dangerous behavior is so subjective, this opens the door for people to ruin other peoples' lives simply because they don't like them. Case-in-point - Trump. A damn-lot of people believe Trump is dangerous. Is he a 'red flag' candidate?

Well, no. You stated that "This is how redflag laws should be written". What am I supposed to interpret that?

Would you rather have No due Process involved or Due Process included in the law?
Red Flags are here.......Like it or not.

Exactly the way I did. That he supports Indiana’s law. Not to mention he has gone on for pages defending this law as providing due process.

There is no due process in revoking someone's constitutional rights when they've committed no crime.

I'll choose 'NOT'!

Bwhahahaha

All red flag laws have due process after the fact, Indiana is no different. You really are a sheep
HAHAHA,,, No they dont dumbass....
You live in Maryland, Under huge 2nd Amendment restrictions and I'm a sheep... Think I'll go and buy another handgun tomorrow and take it home with me, maybe from a FFL or maybe a private transfer...And stop in the PD while open carrying. Something YOU in MD will never be able to do.
Did I mention Indiana next June, has 5 yr carry permits at NO COST for residents and bypass NICS......

yes, they do. In every state that has red flag laws you get a hearing after the fact. You are a sheep because you support these laws. you can pretend to be pro2ndA, but your actions belie that assertion.

bwhahahaha what a intellectually dishonest answer. You have been talking up Indians red flag law like it is awesome and you even defended the police taking you guns based on you getting due process after the fact. That is not due process.
I cant wait to see you defending trump when he bans pistol braces and signs the next AWB

Deeming someone dangerous is very subjective.
Just like the word, "reasonable", is very subjective. And yet, is written into law many times. But of course, it is not for the people to determine, or define, what is, "reasonable", (such as slowing down to a, "reasonable", speed while passing a cop in a road's shoulder harassing a citizen), but that of police, prosecutors and judges to define.

Just like in a courtroom, a jurist has to find "beyond a reasonable doubt" that a person is guilty. What exactly is a "reasonable doubt"? It's going to be different for everyone. But, until a better definition is found, I guess that's what we're stuck with.

I like to think that just having plain doubt is sufficient to find someone innocent or not guilty. It is the court, the judge, and lawyers, that throws out the, "beyond a reasonable doubt", to the juries to muddy their minds and I believe tilts the scales in a prosecutor's favor. Besides, juries don't have to explain a verdict decision to the judge anyway. I'd rather just hear a judge or lawyer say, "If you have any doubt, as to the defendant's innocence or guilt, then you must find for being innocent, or not guilty. Now that's clear and unambiguous.

That’s really what you need to worry about considering the orange Obama is fueling up the gun control bus and s about to back it over the 2ndA.

What guns has President Trump banned again? I forget...... What guns are banned again in Md?




Oh yea, 81 one of them...... Your buddy O'Malley

He isn’t and was never my buddy. And that’s the part you want to ignore. I spent a couple days in Annapolis expressing how dissatisfied I was with the idea of the 2013 laws. You on the other hand are pretending that banning ‘not technically a gun’ is just fine because trump did it.
Your buddy, the one you continue to support, banned bumpstocks and is out campaigning for more gun control to include ‘meaningful background checks’, and of course nation wide red flag laws. But for some reason you not only can’t say a bad thing about him, you go out of your way to justify his anti gun policies. That is the very definition of a sheep.
