Hodja, I think your original response to this was genuine and on its face reasonable. I objected to the messenger and the message because I doubted red flag laws would solve anything. Bit your point about how they will be implemented is spot on.  How can we trust the government to not abuse them?  We can't.  And how can we trust that vindictive people people will not abuse them?  We can't. And how can we trust that ideologically motivated people will not abuse them?  We can't. But what we can count on is that evil people will circumvent them and cause mayhem like they always do.  More laws that criminals will violate will do nothing and only when we confront the societal rot will things change. I don't believe that we are ready to do that and may never be ready given we live in a post-Christian society.  I like McConoughy but he is wrong messenger with the wrong message.
