Congress is seeking a bipartisan path to address back-to-back mass shootings but a former prosecutor says that idea would trample on numerous constitutional rights in a secretive court hearing.
President Donald Trump, meanwhile, is causing a stir among his base after stating he is open to more restrictions of background checks.
Describing the current red flag laws, attorney Abraham Hamilton III told American Family Radio that the stated intention is to keep people safe from people who pose a public danger.

“Some [states]would take the guns and never return them. No financial compensation or anything like that,†Hamilton, a former prosecutor, warned. “So you are literally traipsing the 2nd Amendment, 4th Amendment, 5th Amendment, 6th Amendment, 8th Amendment."
