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.

Mary Ann Pulley

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

Christopher Watson

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.

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

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

Adam

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

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

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.

Max

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.

On January 20th we will resume the use of "alternative facts' when making important decisions or when speaking to each other. In the past this has proven to be beneficial and will be necessary to Make America Great Again.

They have to be held accountable for their comments.

People here act as if they never seen snow before.

Eric Smith

Yes, but find it irresponsible on the part of many of these private companies who remove snow from business lots only to push it out into the street causing large mounds to drive over.

Belinda Kitchen

Yes /no Moberly street department needs to learn to angle the blade down to get the snow off the street . If MoDOT can clean route 24 and 63 clear as a bell then Moberly should be able to ! Instead of just knocking the top part off and leaving snow and Ice . They got Morley clean what about others
