Please note that I have purposely left out any mention of political leanings or personalities, let's see how long we can keep it this way ...
I just heard this proposed (bipartisan), seems reasonable to me. It was a supposedly patterned after the Red Flag law in Indiana (Jake Laird Law)
Description of PROPOSED Red Flag Law (Not Jake Laird Law):
1. Only police can go and as for warrant
2. Hearing would be 7 days later
3. Defendant can attend and defend themselves
4. Police must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant is a danger to themselves or the community
5. The results may be forwarded to NICS to prevent future gun purchases
The key here is the 'beyond a reasonable doubt' level for the burden of proof.
THIS IS NOT IN THE ORIGINAL LAW
