Kamala Harris is proposing a new kind of 'red flag' law to take guns away from racists

Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) has taken the concept of "red flag" gun confiscation laws a step further with a proposal to take guns away from white nationalists who might commit a hate crime.

According to a policy proposal on her campaign website Wednesday, Harris said she would work to "combat and disarm violent hate" from white supremacists by pushing for legislation to give courts the ability to issue "Domestic Terrorism Prevention Orders" to take away the guns of "a suspected terrorist or individual who may imminently perpetrate a hate crime."

According to the statement, such orders "will allow certain individuals, including law enforcement officers and family members, to petition a federal court to temporarily restrict a person's access to guns if they exhibit clear evidence of dangerousness."

"We need to take action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and stop violent, hate-fueled attacks before they happen," Harris said in a statement. "By focusing on confronting these domestic terror threats, we can save lives."

Wednesday's proposal doesn't, however, explain how peoples' due process rights would be protected under such a law or what specific safeguards would be put in place to keep people from being stripped of their gun rights and property based on their viewpoints alone.

"What Harris is basically calling for is a way to punish people explicitly for holding unpopular opinions by taking their guns from them," Tom Knighton says of the proposal at Bearing Arms.

Beto would then no doubt apologize for his own existence to his potential vp, who is a woman of some sort of color.

Since black folk can not be racist,then this would only apply to white folk? Sounds great. What can go wrong?

Harris is advocating a race war on the grounds citizens should be disarmed so they can’t fight back.

If I remember our history there was a little skirmish on April 20, 1775 that started the American revolution. About a year later those “white racists” signed the Declaration of Independence.

I agree with everyone who said the left is attempting to rewrite the narrative so that anyone who is a right wing or even moderate freedom loving American who is both white and proud of their country will be labeled a “white nationalist”.

I’m white and I’m a nationalist; not a supremacist. If they want to call me a “white nationalist” for being proud to be an American and not ashamed of being white then so be it. I will wear that label proudly just like I wear being a “deplorable” proudly.

Their names for us cannot change who we are.

Perhaps we should concentrate more on taking guns away from criminals and Felons then from lawful owners.

Racism is not illegal. If it is, everyone is guilty!

They want us to oppose this. The idea of passing a bill with bi-partisan support terrifies them. So, red-flags were actually not a bad concept, so they had to go and poison pill it. Now if you’re opposed to red flag laws, you’re a racist, and to hell with the first TWO amendments, not to mention the 4th, 5th and 14th.

See #68. Quote attributed to Stalin: “Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.”

Liberals have the institutional power to define words. They already say all conservatives are crazy, stupid, evil haters and racists.

By the liberals’ EXISTING definitions, every conservative opinion is hate speech to be banned and we’re all racists who aren’t to be allowed to own guns. The proof is that we aren’t Democrats.

Commies always turn their ‘gun laws’ into ways to disarm their political enemies before they murder them.

I’m surprised the witch would state the commie’s true goals this early.

Usually they wait until the law’s in effect before the BIG SURPRISE... anyone who disagrees with them will be disarmed...rounded up... and murdered.

Somebody tell Kamala that if you are a convicted felon you can’t own a gun anyway.
