Red Flag bill to be introduced in Kentucky

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WKYT) - Bipartisan legislation will be introduced at the Kentucky Sate Capitol to reduce what advocates say is an alarming rate of suicides across the commonwealth. 

It’s a bill that, if passed, could temporarily take away a mentally ill person’s access to his or her firearm.

  1. From the article:

    “What this bill does is it very quickly allows a police officer to petition the court to go and remove a firearm from someone who’s in imminent danger to themselves or others,” McGarvey said."

    Oh, I see absolutely no potential for abuse here.

    1. So? Apply it. Report every protective detail agent of everyone who votes for it. Report that the legislators are also mentally ill and likely to kill any police office that knocks on thier door. Make sure swat it involved. Report every cop that involves himself in applying for one of these warrwnts of removal. Thier fundamental inability to read the constitution plus the complete lack of ability to follow it constitues mental illness in every case.

  2. To believe this has anything to do with suicides, you'd have to be stupid enough to think anyone in any level of government gives a shit about you.

  4. Wouldn't make more sense to pre-emptively imprison the whole state in padded rooms? That would reduce the suicide rate by 100%, would it not? I mean, it's not like we have to balance liberty and security.

  5. Anyone remember back in the 80s when wives in divorce used the "husband is sexually abusing the kids" as a ploy to eliminate fathers' rights to custody and visitation? It took the courts a very long time to see thru this psy-op and many fathers lost contact with their kids--something that some of them never got back. A flag that is red should be viewed as a warning about the loss of due process. Think how handy this will be to ex's, employers who can't think of a way to get rid of a good but expensive employee, co-workers trying to eliminate competition for climbing the ladder, political opponents.

    1. I concur 100% but you can add anyone you might piss of to that list. The only way this would work would be to make sure it is not anonymous reports. If you report it and it turns out to be false you go to prison for civil rights violations. A minimum of 10 years with no early parole, probation for life and 1/2 of your assets forfeited to the accused. If you do not have assets of substance then you will pay the accused until you have paid a minimum of say $100,000.00.

  7. Rights which "shall not be infringed" aren't subject to pussy-ass laws like this one. It's dead before it leaves the chute.

    1. Tell that to the pinheads under the Golden Dome of the California capital building and their Filipino birthright citizen Attorney General.
      Their response when told Red Flag laws are completely unconstitutional would be "So sue us".

    2. Elmo, that's the short version of "So sue us; you'll run out of lawyer money a long time before we will and in the meantime, it's still the law of the land."

  8. Red flag laws, like background checks, are based on the presumption of guilt. What are they going to do, send the guns to counseling?

  9. Suicide prevention is another bullshit buzzword.
    You ever see a suicide prevented, besides on a TV show?
    You hear about it AFTER they off themselves, not before.

    1. I have. I watched a cop spend a good 45 minutes talking a man out of jumping off the 9th Street Bridge in Modesto.
