Wasn't one of the recent shooters denied when he wanted to buy a weapon? He ended up buying one from a friend. When concerned neighbors contacted the police they sent out a patrol but they failed to find the address. I kid you not. The system almost worked that time.

I wonder how many shootings are prevented every year by people just doing what they are supposed to.

The devil, as always, is in the detail. Blanket statements about possible misuse get you nowhere and the ''thin edge of the wedge'' argument destroys any chance of improving a situation through regulation.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

You are using examples that already result in firearms being seized. We don't need "red flag laws" to take firearms away from somebody threatening to shoot up a school.

Red Flag Laws successfully manage to violate almost the whole Bill of Rights

Just remember that when seconds count the police are only minutes away.

I suppose the dispatcher couldn't tell her to shoot him again.

Democrats advanced a new measure this week to encourage states to pass “red flag” laws. These so-called extreme risk protection orders authorize removing guns and ammunition from individuals deemed as dangerous by some anonymous, unaccountable person, but it would not include the ready-made lists of gang members.

Republicans tried to add an amendment including known gang members, but the Democrats will not permit the inclusion of gang databases. It’s odd since gangs are the ones causing most of the so-called gun violence.

They would agree to include the names of white supremacists, but not other terror groups.
