Recently a friend learned someone they know owns a firearm. How do I 'red flag' them so the government takes the firearm away and destroys it?

Says Gregg Kielma, firearms Instructor, FFL Gunsmith and First Aid Fundamentals Instructor, "thank you, John, for your question, it highlights the reason why most gun owners protest red flag laws. It's because of people like you John, that believe that just owning a firearm is a crime. You are the one that cause legal firearms owner death of innocent people through lies and deceit.

John, what do you think happens when the police come in the middle of the night with a no-knock warrant? The lies you told law enforcement concerning a legal firearm owner who use firearms for protection and their safety amounts to a crime. It sets the stage for armed confrontation and for what? A police officer or innocent homeowner dies because you don't like firearms and you're a liar? John, thank you for your question. This may help clarify why some people have concerns about red flag laws.

John’ if you ever do such a thing you should go to jail for the rest of your life. No appeal, no questions—just time in a jail cell to reflect on your actions. Shame on you.
