JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – One Republican senator wants to ban law enforcement officers from enforcing red-flag laws.
The “Anti-Red Flag Gun Seizure Act” would state that any federal order of protection or court order to confiscate firearms or ammunition from a law-abiding citizen is a violation of that person’s Second Amendment rights. The sponsor of the bill said it protects Missourians from government overreach.
“We have the Second Amendment to protect the First Amendment and our right to due process,” Sen. Denny Hoskins, R-Warrensburg, said. “We’ve seen the federal government weaponize the Department of Justice against political opponents, so it is happening. We don’t want that to happen in Missouri.”
