Unconstitutional Red Flag laws should be banned everywhere. Losing due process means the government can punish you, take your rights, or destroy your life without evidence, warning, or a fair chance to defend yourself.
To no surprise, the legislative session in Texas this year has ended on a high note for real Americans living in the state who value naturally bestowed freedoms recognized by the United States Constitution. Despite efforts from the left to thwart Foundational values, and by efforts I mean dishonesty and hyperbole designed to manipulate the public into embracing their subjugation, lawmakers have established a preemption measure prohibiting red-flag extreme risk protective orders (ERPOs) from being used to seize privately owned firearms and block Second Amendment rights without due process of the law.
Senate Bill 1362 was signed into law over the weekend of June 21, as Texas Governor Greg Abbott addressed approximately 600 pieces of legislation on his desk prior to the Sunday veto deadline. The law, which goes into effect on September 1, is known as the Anti-Red Flag Act and is a vital measure meant to protect Texans from the true purpose of such orders, which are nothing more than a conduit to abuse and disarm Americans under the guise of protecting them from being a danger to themselves or others.
Not having committed a crime, however, how is it possible to forcibly remove an individual’s private property, especially firearms and firearm rights protected under the Second Amendment, without getting into some sketchy Minority Report-style civil rights violations? It isn’t possible, and it’s unfortunate that we need to pass these laws in a country that has all but forgotten the Foundational preemptions already built into the Constitution.
