Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) says firearm confiscation laws portend a way that Democrats and Republicans can “come together.” CNN reported that Graham has long supported red flag laws, which allow a court to issue firearm confiscation orders for individuals deemed a threat to themselves or others.
House Democrats have already passed legislation during this Congress to criminalize private gun sales and extend the instant background check for firearm purchases. They are now pressing for $50 million in annual funding to bring academia into the gun control push.
The Democrats have also been vocal in their support for gun confiscation laws, and this is where Graham believes the left and right can come together.
He told CNN, “I haven’t really looked at the House package, but this is to me the area where we can come together.” Graham has scheduled a March 26 Judiciary Committee hearing on the confiscation orders.
California, Illinois, and Florida all have gun confiscation orders via red flag laws. California’s law did nothing to prevent the November 7, 2018, Borderline Bar & Grill shooting in which 12 innocents were killed. The law in Illinois did not prevent the February 15, 2019, shooting at Henry Pratt Company, where five innocents were killed. And the Florida law did not stop the August 26, 2018, shooting at Jacksonville Landing or the January 23, 2019, shooting at SunTrust Bank in Sebring. A total of eight innocents were killed in the two Florida shootings.
CNBC noted that Graham’s willingness to “[hold] a hearing on gun control is … a remarkable development in the GOP-dominated Senate.”

...never mind.
So much for Linda Graham.
He forgot his balls in his purse again.
Oh, they are going to come together alright...not just the way you think
He’s off his Meds again
I would love for them to come together and try and take it.
Once DJT leaves the political scene so do I. I detest these rats.
WTF??? Such a law would be WEAPONIZED IMMEDIATELY by the RAT Marxists.
Senator Graham, What part of “...without DUE PROCESS” don’t you freaking understand??
Nope, not gonna happen, Gramnesty.
The dimbulbs are pretty sure to cheat their way into making a grand slam in the next election due to you and your fellow spineless RINOs.
We’re going to need our guns. (Can’t believe I’m saying this, having not owned a gun since childhood.) But then again, I would have never believe that I could lose trust in virtually the entire government - except for the military. And given our publik skoolz, who knows how long before the military is infested with those idiots?
Told you all.
He only faked his way in to make sure no one investigates his involvement in FISA
Indeed, I am not getting any younger.
Hate to tell you but it already is.
“Deemed a threat?” To some, just being white can be deemed a threat. And owning a firearm? Definitely a threat!
Don't worry, you'll get your chance sooner than you think.
We'll see who is really Molon Labe, and who will grab ankles.
Know this: As long as the Gun Control Act of 1968 is on the books, confiscation is not eventually probable it's a certainty.
Where have people been the last 30 years? The NRA has done nothing, GOA has tried but they're small, the Bushs screwed us, the GOP screwed us, and so far all Trump has done is ban bump-stocks.
>He forgot his balls in his purse again.
They are in a Dem’s mouth...
“Lindsey Graham: Democrats, GOP Can ‘Come Together’ for Gun Confiscation Law”
