Red Flag

As people watch the saga of Antonio Brown unfold be mindful of the pending passage of Red Flag laws. Antonio has lost his sponsor Nike and has been let go by the Patriots all because of an accusation of wrong doing. He has not yet had his day in court and even if he is found not guilty his life has forever changed. If someone, maybe someone who has it in for you can convince the authorities that you are a danger to yourself or others, the police can come to your door and take away your guns. This is before any trial. Sometimes a law sounds good but when you look deeper there are serious short comings. It may be one more example of good intentions having unintended consequences.
