Another good reason why red flag laws are questionable...
Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) suggested Friday that controversial "red flag" laws should be used against conservative commentator Ben Shapiro.
In a tweet, Swalwell said Shapiro is "reason 1,578 America needs red flag laws."
"Please tell me this lunatic does not own a gun," Swalwell said.
The Democratic lawmaker was responding to comments from Shapiro's Friday podcast. A Media Matters reporter highlighted the comments, stripping them of their context, to make it appear that Shapiro was advocating violence — and it worked.
