    No one in power has ever tried to confiscate guns. It has never happened. No one is stupid enough to try it either. It wouldn’t be possible. You’re buying into bullshit NRA propaganda.

      The purpose of red flag laws is to give law enforcement the tools to confiscate or seize firearms from certain people, is it not?

        You know I meant mass confiscation. Don’t intentionally muddy the waters.

        Red flag laws are not going to lead to gun confiscation. Again, stop falling for NRA propaganda.

        Red flag laws have been around for 25 years. I assume you still have all of your guns and no one has ever tried to take them from you. Unless you’re insane, they never will either. And soon, based on previous SCOTUS rulings, insanity won’t be a barrier either.

          Why don’t you explain what you believe constitutes “mass confiscation”?

          NOT New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina or disarming Lakota at Wounded Knee, right?
