Red flag

Anyone else think this is a bad idea? Given slowmans recent posts, I think he should be on the list…

You mean the fact that it will further discourage individuals who may need mental health treatment from getting mental health treatment? What could possibly go wrong?!?!

And yes, once this law is in place, Slowman needs to be referred to the tribunal for a determination.

I like the concept. But the reality is that it will be very very rare for it to work. Red flags are always much easier to see in hindsight.

It’s a galactically stupid idea, but one that is perfect for a Country that makes us take our shoes off at airports, publicly humiliated Kavanaugh with zero proof, and accepted the Mueller report’s “non-exoneration” of Trump as sound legal practice.

Due process is dead in many respects in this Country. Why stop here.

If you’re too mentally unstable to have a gun you’re too mentally unstable to be part of general society but heaven forbid involuntary commitment be utilized

A very bad idea.

now I know this has nothing to do with Trump and white supremacy so it’s probably irrelevant for the rash of 30 and under mass shootings.

I think Slowman is doing an excellent job sharing his thought and observations and revealing just where he is coming from

Interesting read from the local rag.

Great article thanks for sharing. I really appreciate the discussions that don’t try to turn these complicated situations into a “hes to blame” solution.

And thanks again for the advice.

And

won’t work… and yes slowman should be on the list.

How did I reach my monthly limit on articles in the Trib?

Can’t remember last time I read it.

It’s a half-assed proposal for a half-measure that will do little to stem a massive American tragedy.

That article resonates with me relating to one guy I watched grow up; he's turned out okay, but a hard road and still suffers.  I'm all for marijuana legalization, but should mean that we stand back and take a look at all that we know and create guidelines accordingly.  Not happening, and another way in which our lawmakers at the national level are proving worthless.  
As I posted elsewhere, red flag legislation in the US congress is just a way for them to appear to do something while pushing the issue back to the states so that the national pols can avoid making a stand that might lose a vote.  I tend to like more decisions back at state level, but with each issue, even that needs to be considered as it relates to effectiveness.
