If Democrats were serious about using red flag laws to keep guns out if the hands of people who might use them to senselessly murder others and therefore are danger to society, and not just as a gun control tool to disarm law-abiding citizens, then why did they kill an attempt to use compiled lists of known gang members, which many police departments and law enforcement agencies possess, then why did they kill a measure to red flag gang members? And if Beto ORourke is going to come and take our guns, particularly our AR-15s, is he going to start on the south side of Chicago? As the Washington Examiner noted on September 14:
House Democrats this week advanced a new measure to encourage states to pass red flag laws, known as extreme risk protection orders, that authorize removing guns and ammunition from dangerous individuals.Dems like House Judiciary Chairman Nadler warned that people could be wrongly identified as gang members, just as people have been mistakenly put on no-fly lists. But identifying NRA members and law-abiding citizens exercising their constitutional right to keep and bear arms as killers-in-waiting are okay to Nadler, Swalwell and ORourke. Yet, as Buck points out, urban police departments have a pretty good idea of who the gang members in their community are and are held to a high standard before officially listing them as member:Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee amended the measure during a Wednesday mark-up to authorize the federal government to issue extreme risk protection orders in some instances, but they rejected an amendment that would have red-flagged anyone who law enforcement lists as a gang member.
The majority of violent crime, including gun violence, in the United States is linked to gangs, Rep. Ken Buck, a Colorado Republican who sponsored the amendment, said Wednesday. My amendment is quite simple. It would allow the issuance of a red flag order against anyone whose name appears in a gang database if there was probable cause to include that individual in the database.
Buck pointed out his amendment requires law enforcement to limit red-flagging to only those with probable cause to be included on the list, which is a stricter criteria .Chicago has the equivalent of a mass shooting every weekend and just to put faces on those whom the Democrats want to exempt from red flag laws consider that on Tuesday two separate trials began in Chicago for known Chicago gang members Dwright Doty and Corey Morgan for the murder of 9-year-old Tyshawn Lee. As Fox News reported:Maybe you are just doodling because it is the 13th of June, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York said.
Buck said police have to meet a much higher threshold to list someone as a gang member.
This is a situation where the police officers are trained, and there are very identifiable signs, and it isn't just one sign, Buck told Nadler.
Two reputed Chicago gang members allegedly executed a 9-year-old boy in broad daylight because they sought revenge on the childs fathers rival gang, which they blamed for gunning down family members, prosecutors said Tuesday.No red flags for these guys. Gang members with .40 caliber hand guns? No problem or you might be mistaken about the two being gang members, says Nadler. Go grab the AR-15 from the home of a law-abiding citizen fearful that someday this gang trash will gun down their child or other family member. Scratching your nose in public corld be the wrong gang sign, a crime punishable by death in Chicago. And Democrats say its Republicans who dont care about the lives of children?Tyshawn Lee, 9, was in his school uniform when three men approached him in the South Side of Chicago in November 2015, prosecutors said during opening statements.
Prosecutors said Corey Morgan and Kevin Edwards kept watch while Dwight Doty lured the fourth grader into an alleyway. They said he promised him a juice box.
Doty then took out a .40-caliber handgun and shot Lee, Cook County Assistant States Attorney Margaret Hillmann said.
Two separate trials began for Morgan and Doty on Tuesday. The two alleged members of the Bang Gang/Terror Dome faction of the Black P Stones gang seek to pin the blame on each other for the childs slaying, reports said.

They know where yours are but not where theirs are.
Gang members are primary rat constituents. They don’t want them disarmed.
The term useful idiots comes to mind.
I just want to watch that over and over and over again.
Matter of fact, I’m keeping this tab open so I can watch it again and again with covfefe in the morning.
Thank you!
The gangbangers are the mayhem that forces the serfs to the insuring agent.
DemocRats and RINOs look at Mexican officials and see how much money they can make and power they can wield when the citizens are disarmed and the cartels funnel money to pay for protection, etc. Why else would they do what they are doing?
