Red flag laws. They make sense and have precedent and legal statute to back them up.

2. Yes, you're right.

However restraining orders are different from red flags. Only a domestic partner or someone directly under threat can get a RS. Red flags open that up to school employees, relatives not living with the individual and others who are acquainted with the one who may be suspected a danger to anyone.

That's not exactly accurate (short hand) but the point of red flag is to broaden the scope of who can invoke what is effectively a wide ranging RS. Gun rights seem to trump (no pun) any number of things that otherwise make sense.
