Actual TLDR: -Fund programs to encourage states to adopt red flag & safe storage laws. -Crack down on firearms theft within the common carriers. -Encourage less leeway for FFL errors. -Funding for ballistic analysis studies & a victims of crime fund. -Try to renew undetectable firearms act.

You do realize that red flag laws bypass due process, right?

Op being combative aside. The suspension of any rights or takings of any item after a court hearing the subject isn't informed of or entitled to attend absolutely is problematic. And has 2nd, 4th, 5th, & 6th amendment implications.

after a court hearing the subject isn’t informed of or entitled to attend absolutely is problematic.

Which doesn't inherently apply to red flag laws, as they vary significantly from state to state. We ought to have them, with informed/entitled participants.
