I think there is a due process - after the investigation, if it’s unproven and the person is mentally sound, they get their property back.
The contested hearing is usually held in just a few days. SCOTUS has ruled repeatedly that ex parte relief does NOT violate due process rights when the contested hearing follows promptly after service and notice of the ex parte action.

But Troy does not recognize SCOTUS’ authority to make such a ruling. He understands the Constitution better than 15 generations of the top lawyers this country has produced.

Just like civil asset forfeiture. "Prove you're innocent and you'll get your stuff back". The American way! Guilty until proven innocent. Sounds wonderful.

I'm sure getting a prompt hearing date on these things will be a piece of cake.

Each state has a unique statute, but I believe that ALL of them place the BoP upon the STATE.

In most, the standard seems to be “clear and convincing evidence,” rather than the lower “preponderance” standard used in most civil matters.

Most states seem to give these hearings scheduling priority, precisely BECAUSE of the due process issues.

I think it’s different- you never get your cash money back- you get your guns back.

It like impounded cars during an investigation- you eventually get it back if your are innocent.

Red flag laws also help DV situations too not just mass shootings (think about ALL the stories of people coming out after a killing saying “ we reported to police and nothing happened…now something can happen.)

Listen, something has to change - i shouldn’t have to buy a bullet proof backpack for my children’s protections ….i support 2A so i don’t want to see strict gun registrations…this seems smart bc again- we have to do something

You think the numbers who might be subject to such "red flag laws" will be similar to that of those subject to civil forfeiture issues?

Seems rather optimistic.

This administration pretty much labeled parents protesting CRT and gender identity being taught to kindergarten as domestic terrorists. All those people would already be red flagged.

This can't be upvoted enough.

In 2022, there is ZERO reason to trust the process, it has been corrupted by Political zealots.

First thing you have said right in months, Hankabitch. If you can read the bolded above and think taking people’s shite without taking them to court, you’re the same a-hole tyrant as the ones who wear robes.

On plenty of occasions, I have sat thru delays in starting long-scheduled hearings, so that courts could handle newer matters with statutory scheduling priority.

So, yes, I am confident that (at least in Texas) prompt hearings would be the norm if a Red Flag law were enacted. Cannot speak to other states.

so clever. You are a true wordsmith, Troy.

No need for a coherent argument, when you can just spout this sort of eloquence.

My argument is in your face, Hanky. Only a tyrant can give themselves permission to violate your rights, and declare that they haven’t.

If the SCOTUS says so, letting you have a lawyer 3 days after your trial isn’t a violation either, is it?

But if that tyrant is a lawyer or a judge, all is copacetic apparently.

Troy, you do not even understand the issues, much less the answers. That level of ignorance makes it tiresome to even try engaging you in a civil discussion.

A temporary ex parte hearing is not a “trial.”

Huh? That’s literally our Justice system - a person gets arrested - at that moment, they are being found guilty of something and the they are proven innocent - the red flag law is the same….a charge of mental incapacitation is made- police confiscate weapons and an investigation is made-
