The problem with "Red Flag" gun laws

This is another case where mandatory insurance for buying and owning a firearm could help in part. Conviction or not, the insurer could deny it if there was an arrest for domestic violence on the record. It’s not a perfect or complete solution, but every additional barrier put up to easy accessibility to these weapons is a good thing.

Any effective solution is going to be unacceptable to ammosexuals, though. And the lobbying organisations that represent them are deeply enmeshed with an American conservative culture that increasingly excuses domestic violence as the patriarch’s prerogative.
