New Hampshire Red-Flag

[GVF]

So, the red flag law just passed in NH and is headed to the governor. Is this the beginning?

Taken at face value, I don't have much of an issue with a red-flag law. It has good intentions, but it has many holes in it's bucket. You kind of have one now pertaining to felons. Not that it works well. A lot of felons don't have the character to say I shouldn't have a gun, it's illegal. LE has minimal impact on the black market, so I don't see blanket value in a red flag law. I do see a lot of corruption on the horizon for LE agencies already taking a beating on brutality. The law will be abused to profile and target people they don't want to have guns, and docs will make good cash evaluating persons as red-flaggers, who aren't so much. And they will claim victory, and all said persons will head to the black market where you no longer have a record of said person buying and owning a weapon.

So... At the end of the day, I don't perceive a red-flag law as viable, unless someone can educate on this.

Basically if Karen says you are a danger, LE can take away your firearms.

What is a Red Flag Law?

If a person is deemed a danger to himself or others, they can have guns taken away if they are owned, or prohibited to buy and own in the future. It is a law that is wide open for corruption, and will ruin innocent lives of competent people that are on the blacklist for their views. IMO, it will do nothing except force a legal gun owner underground where you can no longer track their purchase and ownership.

This is already the way to go where possible.

I know a lot of chicks I could get with the Red Flag Law..

Great point.

However, the law will lead to endless harassment of said owners to search and seize as often as the law likes. A legal way to cut corners on due process. And the individual will then become a felon illegally possessing firearms.

Ain't that the truth. Many are introduced as "this is my wife..."

Yes, of course all mine are registered.

Should only be used for a crappy drop gun to place next to the body.

It encourages the expansion of our tattle tale society, only now people will make s*** up about their neighbor when they find out they’re a 2A supporter and gun enthusiast.

Famous last words... "good intentions"...

We have a gun registry?

Not in the way it sounded. You do have a hand gun waiting period. Records of ownership could be traced. Wouldn't be hard for them to apply waits to long guns.
