An inmate in a Weld County, Colo., prison filed a “red-flag” petition in February against the sheriff in charge of the facility, Steve Reams. The inmate claimed the deputies working at the prison were intimidating the inmates in their “residence” by carrying shotguns. A judge immediately dismissed the inmate’s petition, but the flagged sheriff, who has been an outspoken opponent of the new law, said the incident further proves how problematic it is.

The standards are reversed from what they should be.
"Clear and convincing" should be the benchmark for issuing the writ, and "preponerance" should be the burden for tossing it out.
Judges must always defer to the right, and strictly apply BoR limitations. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
