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.

Max

Check Wikipedia, actually we are 16th, but you have never been correct or honest before.

Adam

Wikipedia? That's your source??? Lol https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/gun-deaths-by-country

Adam

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

Adam

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.

Fortunately, I don't have your intelligence. ROTFLOL.

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.

Mary Ann Pulley

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

Bonnie Sandker

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.

Max DeYoung

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.

Max DeYoung

This violates the Constitution.

Christopher Watson

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.

The Chiefs have also made some costly mistakes and committed penalties in those losses.

Real class on the part of Mahomes to have a meltdown on national TV. Of course they are all a real class act, Coach Andy is the same Andy that while coaching the Philly Eagles hired Michael Vick back after he had killed dogs for fun

Harry D

Not for the touchdown called back last night. Did you see the Mahomes meltdown? That guy was about to cry. He was cussing people out. Then he threw his helmet onto the ground. What a pathetic example for young people to see.

Blaming refs is the way of a loser.

They won the Superbowl for them so now it's not their turn.

Homes in primarily R-1 residential areas are losing homes to short term rentals. This loses homes to families that could be long term residents. This drives

Forcing American citizens to leave the CCP HQ (Columbia, MO) isn't a bad thing. Missouri will be better off, if everyone leaves Columbia, MO.

Tim Spaniard

It's better to have the marketplace dictate the cost of a home (supply & demand) rather than limiting investors and home buyers (the money) options, no?

Jean Blackwood

Condos near me being rented to temp health care workers. Makes it feel like a motel.

Harry D

Turning a single-family residence into a commercial rental building needs to be regulated so it does not impact the surrounding neighbors. Party houses or large groups of young people with no adult supervision is bad for a neighborhood and should be prohibited.

Robert Rasmussen

A lack of regulation will lead to shortages in housing inventory. Honestly these short-term rentals should probably be regulated into extinction. Make housing affordable again! - Rob Rasmussen

Regulation = No freedom

Fat Guy Outdoors

Most of my neighbors are short-term. I love it. They are all professionals mostly healthcare. Zero kids, zero riff raff. I was happy after they were able to evict all the bums earlier.

Max DeYoung

Everything the government touches gets ruined.

Tim Spaniard

Regulation leads to shortages (then a rise in prices), quality of homes and neighborhoods goes down (more crime, etc.) Regulation is almost always a bad idea! The only regulation that should be put forth should be how much the government can interfere with a free society!
