kANsaaaas winger logic at work..protect the 6th at all costs..
The sick, homicidal in the state are drooling...
Kansas residents under a court order to turn over their guns would be shielded from having to comply, under proposals before the Legislature when it returns next month.
Twin bills filed in the House and Senate would prohibit Kansas authorities from enforcing so-called red flag orders issued in other states barring Kansas residents from possessing weapons because they are considered a danger to themselves or others...wtf..?
The Anti-Red Flag Act, bans enforcement of any court order for which the primary purpose is to reduce the risk of firearm-related death or injury by stopping individuals from owning or having a gun.
The bills would also bar state law enforcement from filing red flag orders or following any federal red flag order issued in the future against a resident of the state. Neither Kansas nor the federal government currently have a red flag law.
.
The goal is to make sure that we guarantee Kansans Sixth Amendment right, which is due process, said Sen. Richard Hilderbrand, a Galena Republican who is sponsoring the Senate bill. That is the sole purpose of it.

And I was told many years ago, "...don't drive across Kansas unless it's night-time or you have enough drugs to get to the other side."
I think I'll just stay away from it.

It's rural America residents who watch Fox "news" and are filled with fear.
It would be a lot easier to avoid if it was state by state.
