Minnesota has red flag laws…. But because the killer’s family affirmed his mental illness, there was nothing a gun shop could do. So unless you’re prepared to make transgenderism a diagnosed mental illness, none of that will matter. [More]
Not that red flag laws would stop a determined psycho predator from victimizing others, and the law that would work has zero chance of being enacted.
I’m actually drafting an article about a Democrat school district in California (is there any other kind?) that is taking steps to legally classify objectors as the ones with mental problems. Stay tuned.

Don’t let them gaslight about this. They’re relying on the popularly-believed lie that “only” family can call in a red flag. But we know that these laws are always written so that family OR police can initiate a takedown, and once in place, most red flags are initiated by the cops. Push it back in their faces. The law shouldn’t exist to begin with, but we can’t let them play the game of using the law whenever they want to, while claiming they somehow “couldn’t” use it when they didn’t want to or failed to.
