In the wake of the Parkland massacre, Florida passed a law that allows the government to take guns from from individuals deemed potential threats. Nearly six months later, more than 450 people have been ordered to give up their guns according to ABC Action News in Tampa.

The new regulation, called a “red flag law,” allows law enforcement officers, and in some cases family members or others who express concern, to petition a judge to confiscate guns from individuals who may pose a danger to themselves or others, according to The Trace.

First they took guns from the mad men, and I overreacted.

Then they took guns from the dangerous, and I overreacted.

Then I overreacted some more.

If there are reasonable controls on this so people can challenge it I'm fine with this.

Well, now I can sleep at night.

Not even a small or noticeable start. It's not even close to the number of parents who had their children taken off them.
