Search warrant would have to list a crime that the rifle is evidence of. Wonder what crime they are alleging?
Would be interested to hear from someone who is familiar with the specific law of that state.
With Red Flag laws, you don't need to allege a suspected crime. All you need is a judge who's been told that the cops think this guy might be dangerous at some point in the future. The judge then has a choice of granting the gun confiscation order or not. If he doesn't grant the order, and the cops were right, and the guy shoots someone later on, the judge is blamed for not acting when the cops told him about the danger. As a result, judges tend to rubber stamp such requests.
PS Needless to say, Red Flag laws are a clear violation of several of the planks of the Bill of Rights, to include the First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and the Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution.
