    Red flag laws have already been on the books in various places throughout the country. Do you think the gun nuts just didn’t feel like challenging them with an auto-win case?

    The fact is, they’ve tried and been rejected.

      They haven’t been tried at a federal level yet, which is all that really matters. It’s going to take time before a case makes it through the whole process.

        It’s at least trying something. If there is more awareness that there are other options we might actually change something at some point.

        So this is one of those slam dunk legal arguments that only works in federal courts? And the gun nuts haven’t managed to get a single federal court to agree to it in all the years red flag laws have been active? Sure.

      This center is intended to support those states with those laws, it’s not bringing in any new federal laws wrt gun control.
