OPINION:

Red flag laws seem so justified and necessary especially right after some nutcase shoots up a school. But can we please pause for a breath (Lawmakers eye bipartisan national red flag law in wake of Texas school shooting, Web, May 25)?

RFLs give unlimited power to the government to knock on our doors and, Second Amendment be damned, demand that we turn over our weapons based purely upon charges levied by ignorant citizens, more likely than not people who simply do not like us. There is no judicial process, no chance to defend ourselves against such a charge; its just Give us your gun.

And who is this government we wish to give such power? Why, its the same folks who chose not to prosecute Eric Holder when he was held in contempt of Congress, but who yanked Peter Navarro off a plane in handcuffs and leg irons for the same charge. Its the same group that raided Roger Stones home with an FBI SWAT team, including gun boats, for lying to the FBI, but which has taken no action at all against John Brennan or James Clapper for lying under oath to Congress.

Why should we should trust these people, who have shown total disregard for equal justice under the law and totally politicized federal law enforcement?
