Constitutional Right

The Second Amendment protects an individual right the Supreme Court has affirmed repeatedly. Bans on the most popular rifle in America test that limit.

Due Process

Red-flag orders often strip rights based on ex parte testimony with limited chance to respond. That's not how rights should be removed.

Treat Root Causes

Mental health collapse, fatherless homes, social media radicalization — the policy debate skips the real drivers.
