The anonymous whistleblower complaint against President Donald Trump now being used by Democrats to launch an impeachment inquiry is tantamount to a “red flag” action against a gun owner, with the accused being presumed guilty until he or she can prove their innocence, the Second Amendment Foundation said today.
“The lynch mob mentality now being exhibited by Capitol Hill Democrats is the same kind of rush-to-judgment thinking that courts and prosecutors use to rationalize seizing someone’s firearms, while throwing due process under the nearest bus,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb.
“Far-left House Democrats, who have wanted to remove the duly-elected president from office since the 2016 election are treating this anonymous complaint like gospel, virtually the same way the legal system treats a so-called ‘red flag’ complaint against a gun owner.
“Completely absent from this political circus act is anything close to skepticism,” he continued. “There’s a transcript of a telephone call between Trump and the Ukrainian president which Trump’s detractors read one way and his supporters read another way, and that’s about it. At least the president has the advantage of knowing there’s been a complaint filed, but in the case of a ‘red flag’ allegation, the gun owner typically doesn’t know a thing until police come knocking on the door. In either case, neither the president or an affected gun owner has had the opportunity to face their accuser.
“Many people are convinced that the president’s case amounts to political theatrics,” Gottlieb said. “However, there are no theatrics involved when a private citizen’s property is seized. As we saw last year in Maryland, a gun owner was served and something went wrong, and that person was shot dead inside his own front door.
“We’re not sure how this drama will play out against President Trump,” he noted, “but we do know that anytime an anonymous complaint can be used to launch something as serious as an impeachment inquiry, by the same people who are pushing ‘red flag’ laws against gun owners, it’s time to seriously re-think both processes.
“If this can happen to a president,” Gottlieb observed, “how long will it be before a ‘red flag’ case can be launched on the basis of an anonymous complaint? Step-by-step, it appears we’re getting closer to the kind of government the Second Amendment was designed to protect us against, and that’s alarming.”
watched the movie ‘Minority Report’ which was based on “Pre-Cognition’ people who see the future, and determine that people are going to commit crime- so they send out the ‘Pre Crime’s Division’ to arrest the people before the crime takes place
With red flag laws- there are no “Pre-Cogs” to see into the future, BUT- the left WILL send out their “Pre-Crime’s Division” to arrest people based on the thought that they might ‘one day commit a crime’
The thing is, Bob, in this case they are only interested in preventing one crime, and that is their own murder by the citizens of America.
They do not care about any other crime at all, especially if it’s not committed against them.
I brought that up last night. With the change of whistle blower rules, we are watching a preview of how the left will take advantage of red flag laws.
This is very on spot. In fact I am not sure I have even seen the MSM or the Dems use the term “alleged or allegedly” one time since this all started. It has all been “What Trump did”.
That ‘Blue Hole’ right on the west edge of lake St. Claire sorely needs to be fixed.
They aren’t arrested. Only their guns and ammo are confiscated. Those who are Red Flagged are presumed guilty and must appear in court to prove their innocence. This runs totally contrary to the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 14th Amendments.
Any judge who signs off on this must be impeached for bad behavior under the law. All police officers who abide by the judges orders must be arrested by the DOJ for violation of the individuals civil rights. The city mayor, council members and city will be sued into oblivion.
Why spend so much time on the new distraction? Ukrainian collusion? The fact is, the President told us publicly in May that he was going to dig into the source of the fallacious Trump/Russian collusion BS. Quit being distracted and go for the throat.
If you attack a snake (the neo-communist libtards) you had better kill them politically. Let them live and free to appear on television, and they will come bike to bite you again and again.
Trump needs to read the article. It’s obvious when you play the video clip that he’s all for Red Flag laws. Maybe he’ll wake up and change his mind, seeing first-hand how dangerous that kind of law really is.
Red Flag laws = Pre-Crime.
Hate Crime laws were the setup.
Red Flag = A reliance on hearsay
