Red flag law snags up guns
In Florida, 467 people have had their guns taken because of a new law that allows police to take guns from those who are deemed dangerous. I found this bit interesting:
“I think were doing this because it makes us feel safer, said attorney Kendra Parris, critical of the new law. Whats wrong with that, asked reporter Katie LaGrone. It violates the constitution, Parris said.
She believes after four-and-a-half months, Floridas version of the red flag law as its also known is starting to reveal some disturbing grey areas, specifically among individuals who don’t have histories of violence or mental illness.
These are individuals who are often exercising their first amendment rights online, who are protecting constitutionally protected speech online, she said. Maybe it was odious, maybe people didnt like it but they were hit with the risk protection order because of it.
Good for the attorney. This law is being abused.
