Though its from last year it still serves as a reminder as to just how dangerous these laws are.

This tweet was in response to this incident.
According to AMMOLAND Michele Willis is the niece of Gary Willis. She described her uncle as a person that likes to speak his mind but was harmless. She stated that her uncle wasn’t a danger to anyone and questioned the police response.
Gun Owners of America has been a vocal critic of so-called red flag laws because of the denial of due process. They view these laws as unjust gun confiscation orders.
“We don’t yet know all of the facts in this case, so we will be watching this story very closely,” said Gun Owners of America Executive Director Erich Pratt. “But in general, GOA opposes red flag laws because they throw out Due Process. That is, they order the confiscation of firearms without a conviction of wrongdoing for any crime.”
Pratt is not alone in not knowing all the facts in the case. In fact, the Maryland Judiciary has denied all requests to see any protection orders dealing with Willis. Although Willis’s niece, Michele Willis, said her aunt took out the order on Willis. She said it was just “family being family.”
Police are also being tight-lipped about the cause for the order to be taken out on Willis due to being legally restrained to the amount of information that can be released to the public because of the law…
But in order to fight redflaglaws you must take action. Red Flag laws are extremely unconstitutional.
How do Red Flag Laws Violate the constitution? Let us count the ways!
1st Amendment states, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Simply posting a meme or having a different opinion does not justify being flagged. Infact NOTHING does.
2nd Amendment states, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
This should go without saying. All GUN LAWS ARE AN INFRINGEMENT. Taking someones firearms is in direct violation
The person who red-flagged you assumed you might commit a crime with your firearm. There is no probable cause which is based on evidence and not someones feelings or opinions of what you may or may not do.
The 6th Amendment states, “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.” So you can see clearly how four steps are taken away in this instance those steps are for the accused to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses against him, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense.
End Of Story.
