Chicago is one of the nation's gun violence hotspots and a seemingly ideal place to employ Illinois' "red flag" law that allows police to step in and take firearms away from people who threaten to kill. But amid more than 8,500 shootings resulting in 1,800 deaths since 2020, the law was used there just four times.
It's a pattern that's played out in New Mexico, with nearly 600 gun homicides during that period and a mere eight uses of its red flag law. And in Massachusetts, with nearly 300 shooting homicides and just 12 uses of its law.
An Associated Press analysis found many U.S. states barely use the red flag laws touted as the most powerful tool to stop gun violence before it happens, a trend blamed on a lack of awareness of the laws and resistance by some authorities to enforce them even as shootings and gun deaths soar.
AP found such laws in 19 states and the District of Columbia were used to remove firearms from people 15,049 times since 2020, fewer than 10 per 100,000 adult residents. Experts called that woefully low and not nearly enough to make a dent in gun violence, considering the millions of firearms in circulation and countless potential warning signs law enforcement officers encounter from gun owners every day.

The notion that you can fix gun violence and prevent mass shootings with laws is largely a myth in my opinion. Yes, someone incarcerated in an institute for the mentally insane should have a red flag in the background checks system and should not be able to get a gun.

But I'm talking about "time bombs", by which I mean people who are going off the rails mentally and posting things on social media like "I'm going to commit suicide" or "I'm going to beat the Uvalde shooter and kill even more people". That should be picked up by his friends or family and dealt with before things get out of hand. Again, this guy in the Louisville shooting was not a gangbanger or a hardcore criminal, he was a regular guy but had a long history of mental illness. We have to come up with something that guys like him can't just go out and buy a guy and go on a killing spree.

If you listened to the 911 call involving the Louisville shooter’s mother, she said he didn’t own any guns. I say that he like Nashville and Uvalde shooters are being radicalized and incentivized to do these acts.
Where as in the past, depressed and suicidal people would just kill themselves, now they can at least have died for a cause.
Listen to leaders of these movements. Trans activists screaming that there’s a great Trans genocide being perpetrated and now’s the time for action!
My ex girlfriend and all her millennial friends are getting therapy and dealing with “trauma”. Instead of the old I’m ok, you’re ok. It’s I’m F’n Nuts and you’re even more F’n Nuts.
Instead of schools teaching civics and life skills they now push activism and gender ideology.

Hell no, she will stand her ground. This is so ridiculous.

Brooke Jenkins, the San Francisco District Attorney, is a Hero. She is the opposite of her predecessor idiot whose name I won't mention. (Chesa Boudin aka Cheesehead who was voted out of office).

I fully support her, she's the last bastion standing between total chaos and BS politics, and law and order.

Unfortunately, not everyone is on the same page with me. So much BS politics going on in SF. News media and politicians are busy trying to take her down and discredit her.
