Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs Explains Problem with Red Flag Laws and How Biden Administration Is Hypocritical

In an interview with The Tennessee Star, Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs explained the problem with red flag laws, how the Biden administration is hypocritical on the gun issue, and how the real topic of conversation should be securing the safety of schools.

“I think the most important thing to remember is we already have laws on the books to give the government the ability to get weapons out of the hands of people who suffer from mental health issues, but the key thing is those existing laws give them due process,” Jacobs explained, referencing the fact that Baker laws already exist in all 50 states.

“Red flag laws go against all Anglo-American jurisprudence. They deprive people of their rights without due process,” he said.
