[QUOTE="chuter, post: 3323178, member: 13693"] I think the concept of red flag laws is flawed at the core. If your neighbor is showing signs of being "not right" and you fear he could be a danger to himself or others, just taking away his access to one of the myriad things he can use to hurt people, and then feeling like the danger is gone, is very limited thinking. We've just seen the damage that can be done with a vehicle in Moore, and a few years ago in Stillwater, and in other countries. And of course there's poison, sharps, blunt objects, etc. The focus needs to be on the root cause, which is the person's mental state. We need so many changes in the area of mental health that it looks overwhelming, so we just focus on the tool that the gun haters want us to focus on. That's the easy way for us to feel better. Of course we need more mental facilities, research, removing the stigma, easier pathways to get help, etc. It's much easier to take away the gun that the media and gun haters wants us to focus on, and violate the person's right to due process, than to do anything that would really help.
