Who Could Have Guessed Overreach?
It looks like if you receive social security, someday soon, that will be grounds to put you on the red flag list and they'll come take your guns. Can't handle your finances was what they tried before, now it's for the shaky or forgetful, soon it will be something else. AARP memberships. Who knows.
Which is a good idea, if you are looking to confiscate all guns from us Americans. After grandpa dies who knows where his guns end up? Hard to track that. But if they round em up as soon as Grandpa retires?
Oh sure the proposal, now, is to go after oldsters with dementia, now. But they already tried going after anyone that needed help with their finances for whatever reason during the Obama admin. Pretty soon you'll just lose your Rights because: Old. Or: Getting help from anyone.
I mean you don't even lose your right to vote when you die, in many cases, why do you lose an enumerated right just for getting on in years?
It'll be easier on the SWAT teams, raiding the aged is better than raiding youthful and violent drug dealer types, hopped up on goofballs and crystal blue meth. Don't go after OldNFO first, Officers. He might be old, but he's still wily. In Maryland the error rate was only 1:144 or so. One citizen made to assume room temperature for every 144 Red Flag confiscations. Eventually there will be a ratio on the other side if confiscations keep expanding.
So, watch Red Flag laws spread across the country. Then expect the qualification for a Flag to mission creep into more and more things. "What, you got a parking ticket? Better turn in them guns while we find out what kind of scofflaw you actually are, citizen, for everyone's safety."
Look, I am all for keeping tabs on prohibited persons or truly mentally unstable individuals, but i am NOT for expansive, fresh new classes of Americans over here that have less rights than Americans over there.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
