This ‘Wellness Check’ Should Be Red-Flagged!

If you are one of the estimated 80 to 100 million gun owners in America, or live in one of the 45% of homes with a firearm, you are likely aware of so-called “red flag” laws — “common sense” statutes in 19 states and the District of Columbia. Those laws provide a method, ostensibly, for identifying and disarming those who are potentially a threat to themselves or others. In principle, those laws may seem reasonable, but in fact they are subject to serious abuse by anyone wishing to have police target those they don’t like.
