In a semi-related topic, when people like Bloomberg come to CO, do you really think his PSD is rocking 15 round mags like state law requires? He might have some local guys who are LEOs working his PSD, but his hired/full-time PSD- do you think that they are rocking 15 rnd mags as prescribed by law- or do the PSD details have some kind of legal LEO status- deputies somewhere or something like that? It would be rich to get his PSD pinched for breaking his gun laws.
The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.
It's that simple.
Unless you've been in law enforcement and seen some of the retards on the streets with guns, certified nuts, who belong in a mental lockup,,,, demanding their right to keep and bear arms. You would shake your head. Bottom line is this.
Their are people in these United States, whom have zero business, owning a gun. Their unfit, Irresponsible, incompetent, mentally and a demonstrated IQ, of 12 or less.
I have a dim view on any gun related laws, but for 25 years watch the mentally inept demand their rights.
This may sound weird, but somebody needs to save these retards, ,,,,, from themselves. They are a danger to EVERYBODY aroumd them.
This will not be a popular view point. Gotta call it like I see it.

Lordy Lordy, I'm amused. Na I'm not one of those cops, I've been retired a long long time. However I am a responsible adult, who has picked up and addressed the mess made by seriously mentally ill, folk, countless times. He's the deal. WE ALL saw the writing on the wall, that bully, Joe, Ed, was going to cause carnage, in an hour, a day, week, or a month. And as we knew, did.
Why, well that's where it gets interesting. States, Cities, mental health folks on the pay roll,continue To return seriously mentally ill, to the streets, where they prey on The citizens. They system is not prepared to deal with em. It costs lots and lots of money.
Na I welcome the tools, as long as their used in the best interest of We The People. "Some" folks are simply not wired tight enough or disiplined enough to understand the responsibility of firearm ownership.
Our nation is in trouble. Mental health issues are in deed a contributing factor.
So I'm asking you straight up, you actually think it's legit for sickos, to own firearms? That in itself, is a RED FLAG.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one
Ah, so you might not be one of those cops, but you most certainly were one of them.
But to answer your question: if they have not been convicted of a crime, nor adjudicated as a mental defective/committed to an institution, yes, they should be allowed to own guns. Because it's far, far to easy to simply slap a label on someone and strip them of their rights without firm safeguards. Your wonderful "red flag" commit just proves as much.
