Red Flag Laws: Discussion of Matt Gaetz' opinions in Congress.
‘Red flag’ laws allow authorities to confiscate firearms from individuals deemed a risk to themselves or others, without having been convicted of a crime, violating the right to due process.
Mehmet Oz – better known as Dr. Oz – who just won his Pennsylvania Republican Senate primary and is backed by former President Donald Trump, expressed his hope in a 2019 interview that ‘red flag’ laws would be implemented and potentially lead to an anonymous call-in system for people to report concerns over others’ social media posts.
Which is insane, of course.
Gaetz, during the debate in the House Judiciary Committee last week, explains what he feels the problem is with Republicans who support ‘red flag’ laws.
“Let the message from this committee hearing to Republican senators be astonishingly clear,” he warned. “If you back red flag laws as some reflexive response to some emotion that you have, you betray your voters.”
“You are a traitor to the Constitution, the Second Amendment, the Fifth Amendment, you do nothing to make mass shootings less likely.”"
