(Zero Hedge) With many 2nd Amendment defenders rightly up in arms (no pun intended) over President Trump’s previous comments on ‘red flag’ laws:

Is Donald J. Trump anti-gun rights? Some might say “yes,” because the president has joined with Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to support “red-flag” laws that allow government agents to take guns temporarily from those deemed too dangerous or unfit to possess a weapon. Such laws may be a major threat to the Second Amendment unless great care is taken to ensure due process is observed strictly and fully.
“Graham, in a statement, said he has reached a deal with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) on a bill that would start a federal grant program to help and encourage states to create ‘”red flag” protection order’ laws, which are meant to make it easier for law enforcement to identify mentally ill people who should be banned from purchasing guns.”

Trump announced his support for the red-flag laws from the White House on Aug. 5,stating that “those judged to pose a great risk to public safety (should) not have access to firearms and that if they do, those firearms can be taken through rapid due process.”
But, the President’s latest tweets on the subject of gun control could, perhaps, be seen as backing away from that, tweeting that:
” Serious discussions are taking place between House and Senate leadership on meaningful Background Checks. “
Quick to explain that he is fully behind the right to bear arms:
“I am the biggest Second Amendment person there is, but we all must work together for the good and safety of our Country “
Adding that he has been consulting both sides:
“I have also been speaking to the NRA, and others, so that their very strong views can be fully represented and respected.”

But his bottom line is simple:

The worry that many gun owners have is also simple – what the left anti-gun group sees as “common sense” is very different from rational “common sense” in the real world.

The danger will always be in context. If the context is bad, truthers and definitionists will attack it. If it is good, they will champion it.
The context here, is possibly about SSRI, Psychiatry, and Mental Health. Could he have said it better?
I don’t know about that.
Why? Trump has been analyzed by people left and right, and both sides have come to the conclusion that he has always been playing the long game, and frequently gets his opponents to say what he wants them to, while recouping the benefits WHOLESALE.
So, wait and see. Judgement will ONLY hold you back.
*sighs* Fact..there goes your 2 Nd right. People before you raise Kane about it. read what we are entitled too. Written in simple ENGLISH…..nothing underwritten or over written simple and plain. NO it does not need to be fixed OUR Government does. Question your government. Question your Dr. Hell he/she gets a cut for every prescription filled…………… your dr. that is…..oh hell maybe the government does at this point as well like the currents in a ocean. look into it. so many levels…like the current. *shrugs*
In my opinion, the Red Flag laws are unconstitutional and dangerous. In a recent article, a sixty year old man was murdered in his Baltimore home when police kicked in his front to confiscate his firearms because a judge ordered it. “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” Another words, the state cannot take away your personal possessions without due process. An order by a judge without a trial is not due process.
