I received an email from the Spokesman - Review where the author, Shawn Vestal touts the success of Washingtons RFL's.

Shawn Vestal: New red-flag gun laws are being used to prevent violence

Twelve extreme risk protection orders have been issued by Spokane courts since a new law took effect that allows courts to temporarily remove guns from people who are threatening themselves or others. The case files suggest a process that is careful, methodical and fair.

This azzhat clearly showed his bias with the drivel that he claims is journalism. He cited several pro incidents while claiming the systems fairness in describing 1 example of someone who got his property back " after a cooling-off period of several months and the resumption of counseling".

This BS is is clearly our greates threat to gun ownership.

This article is clearly designed to reassure anti-gunners that their unconstitutional measures are indeed benefitting society. But, how do you prove that you have prevented anything? It's only an assumption. What is known, if the article is factual, is that there are a number of problem people who have committed crimes for which they were not prosecuted, for one reason or another, and rather than deal with these problem people appropriately, the government has decided to take their firearms and leave the problem in place. The system, if not broken, is badly damaged.

He needs one thrown in his direction in the interest of point of reference.

Read this earlier. That guys an idiot. He gives repeated examples of people who supposedly committed multiple crimes but the police were unable to arrest, so RFLs were used. Exactly like I said. RFLs are the low hanging fruit that will replace actual police work.

Its completely mind boggling that people have this big hard on for laws that literally allow the government to deprive them of constitutionally protected rights with zero crimes having been proven.
