Just a week ago, lawmakers opposed to firearms proposed Bill 350 at the Assembly, which seeks to instigate "red flag" firearms seizure orders within Wisconsin. This bill is currently under the consideration of the Assembly Judiciary Committee. We urge you to reach out to your local representatives and request their opposition to AB 350.
The provisions of Bill 350 allow for the potential confiscation of a person's guns based on unfounded claims, without a formal hearing or any chance for the concerned individual to have the evidence presented in a court of law. This essentially empowers the government to confiscate firearms under the pretext of ambiguous and unsubstantiated proof.
Individuals subjected to the suspension of a Constitutional right ought to be given high standards of evidence, the chance to defend themselves, and the privilege to confront their accusers. Advocates of civil liberties, irrespective of their political alignments, have raised concerns over such "red flag" bills. The lack of adequate due process safeguards in the bills could potentially pave the way for misuse.
We urge you once again to get in touch with your local representatives and request their opposition to AB 350.
