https://www.tennessean.com/story/opinion/2018/11/30/red-flag-laws-curb-gun-violence-and-protect-second-amendment/2150449002/

I am a gun owner and a Republican. I believe a 'red flag' law for Tennessee will curb gun violence and protect the 2nd Amendment.

A Tennessee state senator explains why he is introducing a "red flag" bill to remove firearms from people deemed by a court to be dangerous and why it can be a bipartisan win.

Fucked up shit.

It’s going to be used for swatting and disarming prleople over simple squabbles and bitter exes. Like it already had in other states.

I love how they redefined due process. It no longer means a jury of peers, but now means a lone bureaucrat can take away your rights.

Appears to be the "model" proposed by Everytown Research.

Just what we need... more Government. We have this crap in Connecticut before I moved down here. Once you get a law into effect like this, more will follow. Who's to say the judge who will be deciding your fate as a gun owner is mentally competent?

I would have said something similar about FL a few years ago.  Don't assume anything.

I remember EVERYONE saying the GCA of 1968 would not bother anyone and would NEVER pass.  It has been going straight to hell ever since!

Before then the nice mailMAN brought me a gun I had ordered thru the mail about every 6 months.  Damn law passed right before I could order my Solothurn 20mm!

99%.

Dims in TN can't get shit passed as they are a super minority in both the House & Senate. Aside from the usualy suspects in Memphis & Nashville, I don't believe rural Dims would get behind this. Aside from a few RINO's such as Beth Harwell, I don't think Republicans would get behind it either.

Speaking only for myself, I don't see how these sort of laws can pass legal muster before a qualified judge who knows the fucking law(s).

The asshole introducing this bill is a Republican not a demoshit.

Glen Casada is the new House Speaker. He's been pretty good on gun matters before, hopefully he'll continue.

I'll see what the TFA says about this proposed new bill.

Nothing from the TFA, which means it's not gotten any traction.

I'm hoping the TFA will threaten to have added language that makes whomever signs the confiscation warrant personally responsible for FALSE claims by someone wanting revenge. Also make CRIMINAL charges against whomever makes false claims that generate a confiscation order.

There also needs language that forces the judge/police to follow the due process clauses in the 4th and 5th amendments and provide documented, verifiable proof that they did.

I'm sick that I even feel the need to type that shit!
