All legal gun owners are potential threats to the regime, not only by resistance to the government, but by imbuing a sense of independence from the state. Thus, all legal gun owners are the enemy. Therefore, due process violations are moral.
All illegal gun owners are able to be dependent on the state: either because the state can destroy them with severe gun charges that can make them useful informants, or the the state can allow them to roam free to support anarcho-tyranny. Thus, all illegal gun owners are friends. Therefore, due process violations are immoral.
Stop and Frisk = bad and violation of rights! Red Flag laws = good, and should be used more!
edit: hopefully obviously sarcasm

Just wait, if they get really efficient, they can generate the red flag seizure notices off the back of your form 4473 as they get filed!
Government efficiency: you can save time pre-screening and doing background checks, by just arresting everyone who applies.
Stop it, Giz, you'll give 'em ideas!
