Flag Down

This new initiative is called “Capture the Flag,” and it will focus on abuses and mis-application of “Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO)” statutes which have been adopted by 21 states and the District of Columbia. [More]

Their very existence is an abuse.

And there’s only one solution that nobody appears incentivized to implement.

Missing the Obvious

The order included a finding “Rahimi had ‘committed family violence’ and such violence was ‘likely to occur again in the future.’” [More]

Define “likely.”

If he was truly proven dangerous why didn’t the order remand him into custodial care until such time as he can once more be trusted to behave his punk @$$?

A Matter of Trust

Bexar County court records show Diaz has four other gun-related charges stemming from different incidents dating back to 2015. [More]

So, if he’s proven he can’t be trusted with a gun, what can’t he be trusted without?

No social order that denies basic truths can endure, and that seems to be the age we find ourselves in.
