Debunking 60 Minutes Segment On Colorado’s Red Flag Law
CBS recently aired a 60 Minutes segment on Colorado’s “Red Flag” ERPO law and the debate surrounding it. As you can imagine, it needs debunking. You can watch the full segment at the CBS website here. It is 14 minutes long and free to watch. A big thank you to Weld County Sheriff Steve Reams for being a much-needed part of the conversation.
Here’s our take on the episode:
1.) They begin by stating that there have been 366 mass shootings this year. There have not been and we’ve already debunked that. Learn more: www.rallyforourrights.com/we-are-being-lied-to-about-mass-shootings-again
2.) California passed their Red Flag law in 2014, not 2016. Now, this is a minor discrepancy, but something 60 Minutes absolutely should have gotten correct. If they are going to flub on such a simple fact, what else will they get wrong? Do they not know how to use Google?
3.) Connecticut had a Red Flag law in place when Sandy Hook happened. Theirs was enacted in 1999. Sandy Hook happened in 2012 and was NOT the catalyst to write the law as the segment implies.
4.) Law enforcement is not the only entity who can petition the courts. Spouses, ex-spouses, roommates, former roommates, any relative or step-relative, a Tinder date gone wrong, or someone you had an affair with are all also people who can petition the courts for a Red Flag ERPO. If you don’t fall in to the insanely broad range of people the law defines as “family members”, you can then simply go to a law enforcement officer and have them file the petition for you.
5.) The temporary orders are granted based on a preponderance of evidence – even when law enforcement files the petition. Preponderance quite literally means the more convincing evidence, yet the person being accused is not present at the hearing and doesn’t know it’s taking place, therefore cannot present any evidence at all. The accuser will ALWAYS present more convincing evidence. How will any of these ever be denied?
5.) It’s despicable how Sheriff Tony Spurlock said “this is a tool to take away guns” then turns around and says “this isn’t about taking away guns, it’s about getting people the help they need” when there is absolutely NO mental health component to the Colorado law.
6.) Watching the Zackari Parrish footage has us wondering how that is any different than serving a Red Flag warrant? How would the outcome change? Also, if they just left him alone that night, what would have happened? Why did Spurlock send his deputies into what he knew could be a gunfight with soft body armor?
7.) Sheriff Steve Reams was thoughtful, reasonable and great in pointing out that we need to be helping people, not simply removing the tool that could do harm. We are thankful for him.
8.) They omit the fact that more than 50 of Colorado’s 64 sheriffs oppose the law as written, as does the Denver Police Union and the Aurora Police Union. More than half of Colorado’s counties have passed Second Amendment Sanctuary resolutions.

Ye shall KNOW the TRUTH and the TRUTH shall set you free. Anyone, ANYONE can call in a complaint on anyone else and they get swatted. All of this with no legal ramifications to the complainer. Why is that? The complainer is literally risking the lives of the complainee, anyone else in the house and the enforcement personnel sent to kill — opps — deprive/rob a citizen of his/her equipment and their constitutionally protected, GOD given right to keep and bare arms. Out in Phoenix there is/was a group of home invaders who dressed in police uniforms, badges and weapons.… Read more »
First of all ANYTHING reported by “60 Minutes” is either a lie or the story is so tainted touching it requires a “hazard device handling policy”. Personally I only have direct knowledge of two stories they ever aired that I know of during the last 50+ years. Both were filled with lies and innuendos and I was backed up by a person who was actually there and witnessed one of them. CBS as with most news outlets are biased and liars.
Local gun clubs are joining in in various ways to support the action in Denver by pro 2A groups for those who can’t make it to Denver.
Excuse me but WHY are we getting notified of this ON the 7th?.
Some feelings were hurt here because their ideas were rejected after considering their merit. Let this concern everyone, It does not matter if you are new to the site or an old-timer. If in the delivery of your thoughts and opinions you happen to say something foolish or support an idea which is factually wrong, do not be surprised to be called out for it and for it to seem as though everyone is against you. If caught, own up to it and be willing to say “You know, I didn’t even think about that.” and chances are you’ll get… Read more »
Just a sidebar note: There is no such thing as the Denver Police Union. There is no union for the Denver Police.
I think these two issues should have separate threads. Unless you’re in CO, you won’t being interested to see the 60 Minute read because you won’t know it’s there. .
The horse is already out of the barn. People need to understand that while a show of opposition can have political benefits down the road it isn’t going to alter the law or the way the law was written which provides for little impact by local law enforcement. In fact it renders local opposition and the cries for “sanctuary counties” little more than political posturing. People still don’t seem to understand the potential ramifications of this bill. I would suggest that the people of Colorado who oppose what is happening in Colorado make a concerted effort to identify areas within… Read more »
