    I'd like to hear more about these protections. Do they involve a warrant and a judge or do officers on the scene make the confiscation decision?

    I wondered about this as I heard Lindsay Graham's explanation of his bill (co-signed by a staunch anti-gunner) which sounds as if the grant money would be based on strict following of due process?

    Should be able to find the info within the thread in link below.
    Maybe Kelly In Avon can chime in as well, as he has a great grasp on all the newest laws since he gets directly involved .

    It appears the BBC has removed this graphic from their story without a correction or any sort of note. It was there last night but it's gone this morning.

    MG-42, American 180 and MAC M-11 are the only non powered guns that I've seen shoot 1200 and up.

    When they get done collecting data on the Dayton shooting it will be interesting to see if suppressing fire by the quicker police response saved lives over all.

    Thank you, my friend. I'll study up on that later.

    In the meantime, maybe somebody knows if in Indiana, does the cop on the scene make the call, or does it involve a warrant/judge prior to confiscation?

    Two cases:
    1. When a cop on the scene makes an arrest because you are acting in a dangerous or Psychotic manner and you are carrying, he will confiscate any guns you have in your possession at the time. This does not give him the right to make a search.
    2. If an affidavit is obtained from a judge the police can then enter your property, search for and confiscate your firearms.

    Well I for one am just thrilled that social media site owners will now be asked to identify potential candidates for gun confiscation.

    Now Jerry Miculek with a semi-automatic AR-15 might be able to come close. I have seen him fire 6, reload and fire 6 more from a 357 revolver in less than 3 seconds. That's a rate of 240 rounds per minute... from a revolver.

    Here's the problem with "red flag" laws

    Anyone who's put up pics on social media of their kids holding guns will be "red flagged" and have their guns—and probably their kids—taken away.

    I think any potential red flag law must be first and foremost predicated on the question, "Are they breaking current laws?" Clearly, nothing about that picture would indicate that. Secondly it would have to be determined whether or not they are likely to break current laws (whether by psych evaluation or further evidence of potentially unlawful behavior). Again, that picture gives no indication of such. I think it would be a HUGE stretch for any judge or LEO to even consider that as qualifying as a "red flag".

    Now, if their parent posted that picture along with a long manifesto detailing how he was training his kids to shoot (insert demographic of choice here) because (reasons), etc., then I think an argument could be made that it was at least deserving of an investigation. But that picture there? Nope, not even close.

    We can't allow pictures of kids and families with guns... it might aid in normalizing them with the general public.
