Does Missouri need a "red flag" law on guns?
Red flag laws are in the spotlight after the Buffalo mass shooting. They allow people to petition courts to take guns from others because of mental health concerns.

Repeal the 2nd ammendment. The US has the 2nd highest gun death total in the world. Ban ALL semi and fully automatic weapons. Nobody needs them. Minimum age should be 28. Have 1 pistol and 1 gun for hunting. More guns = more deaths and more violence.

I agree sir who needs more than one gun and one rifle for hunting?

You do realize that if you file down the firing pin a certain amount, that you can turn any semi automatic weapon into an automatic? You can repel the 2nd Admin., but you will never get rid of guns in this country. Besides, you can buy one in any City for pennies on the dollar, any day of the year.

Switzerland, UK, Australia, and Canada have enacted gun reforms of some sort. Since then, the firearm death rate in the US was 4 times higher than Switzerland, 5 times higher than Canada, 10 times higher than Australia, and 35 times higher than the UK.

Ok ok...Wikipedia. The trusted internet source. Highest gun related deaths in high income countries. The US is by far the highest rated https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_firearm-related_death_rate

If you know someone has guns and is making threats on social media etc., then they should have their weapons taken away for the safety of everyone.

Would this apply to other items that could be used as a weapon, like cars, knives, axes, poison, or matches?

Most states don't have these laws. Critics question their effect on due process.

No, because then anyone could lie and make up a reason to get someone's guns taken away from them.

Although the Constitution of the United States does not cite it explicitly, presumption of innocence is widely held to follow from the Fifth, Sixth, and Fourteenth Amendments.

Because you can buy a gun in just about any city for pennies on the dollar if you know where to look. No matter what law you pass, guns for evil will always be available. That is the only "Red Flag" that will always exist.

I'd like to see how many of the democratic votes came from bots

Democrats are insisting on concessions related to health care policy (specifically extending Affordable Care Act health insurance subsidies) to reopen the government. Republicans argue for a "clean" funding bill without these policy changes.

Wish I could vote for both. This shutdown is a game both sides are playing. I want to roll up a newspaper and smack 'em both.

It's beautiful. Trump is getting rid of the fake workers Biden hired, and AOC will Primary Schumer. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

As every 8th grade Civics student knows, it takes 60 votes to end the Schumer Shutdown. Since we only have 53 Republicans, we must have a handful of Senate Democrats

"No one is so blind as one who will not see" means that a person who is unwilling to accept the truth is more difficult to convince than someone who is physically blind.

Trump is ending wars, getting hostages released, after nearly 2 years, while Schumer is holding the US taxpayers hostage, for free medical care for illegal aliens, while our own citizens have to pay for medical care.

Republicans could easily say yes to extending subsidies for Americans and no to the other provisions. If Dems say “no” then it’s on them. Not much compromising is going on.

Homelessness is a direct attack on capitalism. Crime is a direct attack on capitalism. Barbara is a communist. This is the plan.
