And how is that to be determined prior to somebody "going crazy"? I agree, we don't want crazy people to have guns, or knives, or cars, or pillows, or whatever they may choose to use, but how are we to determine that? This is the gist of 'red flag" laws, which so far have not been shown to work. My crazy sister can pass any background check, existing or proposed.

From what I have seen, the "red Flag" laws depend on family, friends, acquaintances, and/or even strangers just saying "he's dangerously crazy". Well, I could say that about Representative Tlaib, or 93, or the guy on the corner, or the little old lady talking to her dog.
