Sure. Maybe I am misunderstanding just how these laws will work because different commentators have put their own twist on it when explaining how these laws work.
If I understand this correctly when of if I purchase a weapon, let’s say a S&W .380, my gun is registered and all the information along with it is placed into a database. If anyone, a law enforcement officer, neighbor, family member, whoever, would suspect that I am planning to shoot someone or make comments that may think I could want someone taken out, they could ask the court to remove all of my guns.
From listening to some of the news commentators, the real reason for red flag laws is by registering everyone’s guns into a national registry or database is so the government will know where the weapons are. If later, the Congress makes a law banning all semi automatic weapons, the government and local police agencies will know where the weapons are, so they can come knocking on your door and ask for them. It’s really another way big brother will be looking over our shoulders.
Any of us could make an off the cuff remark like “I would like to shoot the guy that developed this parking lot.” Or “I felt like shooting my neighbor after he didn’t clean up after his dog crapped in my yard.” If the wrong person hears those remarks, it’s possible that you could lose your weapons for a certain amount of time leaving you without your weapon to protect your family.
Unless I physically put a gun to my head and threaten suicide, or point my gun at someone, my guns should stay under my possession. I just think that it may be possible that someday if our government ever decides to remove all guns, they will know where they are.
