Our alert last week pointed out that “[g]un control advocates are ceaseless innovators in the realm of limiting freedom,” with one of these original ideas being so-called “red flag” gun confiscation laws. The alert added that these laws are open to challenge, citing United States v. Rahimi, 61 F.4th 443 (5th Cir. 2023), a case invalidating a federal firearms prohibition that, like “red flag” orders, “works to eliminate the Second Amendment right of individuals subject merely to civil process.” |
