Brandon Masin and the Effects of Red Flag Laws

While Texas does not have a Red Flag law, this is what can happen when the legal theory behind those laws go into effect.  We should all thank Brandon Masin for standing up for his rights and, by extension, the rights of all Texans and all Americans.

In short, possibly because Mr. Masin knows his rights and is prepared to defend and assert them, he has been accused of making threats.  He has not been given due process, the right to face his accuser, or to be assumed innocent until proven guilty.  The evidence of his innocence, both tangible and with witness testimony, has apparently been classified as “unconvincing” in the face of its volume and detail.  He has been denied his liberty, his property without due process, and in violation of this public school’s own code of conduct.

Read the article for yourself.  Then imagine that you are in the place of Brandon Masin and ask yourself what you would do.  Then ask yourself what you will do to prevent anyone else from finding themselves in such an unconstitutional, even un-American, situation?

Like many of you, I am a product of the public schools. Like many of you I thought the Constitution was for lawyers and judges. One day I read the Constitution, and was surprised to find I didn't need a law degree to understand it. Then I read the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers and even the Anti-Federalist Papers. As I learned more and more about our founding fathers and documents I saw how little we know about how our country was designed to work and how many people just didn't care. I started The Constitution Study to help those who also want read and study our Constitution.
