Courts are issuing an unprecedented number of orders to seize firearms from people they deem to be mentally ill or threats to others, following a rash of state-level legislation aimed at curbing mass shootings across the country.

Even as conservatives sound the alarm about potential Second Amendment violations, supporters -- sometimes across party lines -- say these "red flag" laws are among the most promising tools to reduce the nearly 40,000 suicides and homicides by firearm each year in the country.

“I think we’re seeing a building consensus in blue states and red states that this is a good way to balance public safety against people’s Second Amendment rights,” Jaron Lindbaum, a representative of the activist grop Washington Ceasefire, told Fox News.

Nine states have passed laws over the past year allowing police or household members to seek court orders requiring people deemed threatening to temporarily surrender their guns, bringing the total to 14. Several more are likely to follow in the months ahead.

More than 1,700 orders allowing guns to be seized for weeks, months or up to a year were issued in 2018 by the courts after they determined the individuals were a threat to themselves or others.

The actual number is probably much higher since the data was incomplete and didn't include California, where newly-installed Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has moved swiftly to curtail gun rights.

Looks like Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Florida, Indiana, Illinois, Oregon, Washington and California. Must be a state that has recently passed one.

What guns?


I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

Yup..


These laws are totally rife with potential abuse by gov't AND leftists to be used to finally disarm America.. Of all the various BS anti-gun laws passed over the years, THESE red-flag laws are by far the most onerous, dangerous and totally unconstitutional.. They must be removed via lawsuits in every instance as soon as possible.. The states that are poised to enact such laws must have their citizens stand up and in a very loud voice say NO NO NO!! NOT in our state!

Not even my wife has a clue as to how many guns I own, or where they are located, and for it to be any other way to be is, a pure foolishness!

It's funny that when the 2nd Amendment is involved everyone starts to care.

You're all well behind the curve.

I don't get where the authorities giving Cruz a pass, supports the position of Red Flag laws. Cruz should have been incarcerated because of his threats, negating the need for a Red Flag law. Removing your rights without due process, is certainly overstepping the governments authority.

1,700 orders for seizures and no reports of anyone refusing to surrender their guns or of our loyal American LEO's refusing to enforce the unconstitutional seizures.

So much for "from my cold dead hands" eh.

The police were called to his home for his criminal activity dozens of time, yet no arrests or interventions. No need for Red Flag. Just don't shield people from the legitimate systems of our traditional law enforcement and criminal justice.

Only hope is that the Supreme Court shuts down what is the most clear case of Bill of Rights violations (Second, Fourth, Fifth, etc.) in US history.

I'm more prone to blame the electing of dumb fugks to run their schools and police departments than I am to advocate for another bullschit law.

People get the government they deserve.
