    | "Relph believes bills for universal background checks, and so-called Red Flag laws are unfair." 
 Unfair? Try, UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
 
 The exercise of fundamental rights cannot have tests applied to them (see: voting, literacy tests and poll taxes), and red flag laws ignore at least 5 amendments to the Constitution.
 
 Fundamental rights cannot be suspended/denied without full due process of law; an adversarial hearing, the right to face accusers and cross-examine witnesses, and the right to present evidence and witnesses in one's own behalf, BEFORE the right may be suspended/denied.
 
 While the right to life is the most critical of our fundamental rights, it is not the ONLY fundamental right, and in the eyes of the Constitution, they are all equal.

                      | Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American... The unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state government, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people.  — Tench Coxe, Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. |  |  |
