Gun control? South Carolina? I don’t think he’s helping his political career with this.

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

Bush League Republicans do not change their spots.

The military is already infested with them and transgenders.

The founders were absolutely correct to restrict the President to someone who could not be anything other than an American, someone who was naturally a citizen because they could not be anything else.

The Kenyanesian Usurpation did incalculable damage.

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.

I think that everyone who's responsible and wants guns should have them, but this argument that Hawkins always makes is idiotic.

What it doesn't address is how many events did these laws prevent, and the answer is we don't know.

But who wants to argue that those denied gun purchases because they were nuts wouldn't have done anything wrong had they gotten them?

oh STFU !

Only an idiot would think democrats and Republicans can come together.

If the dems want bi partisanship, it's real easy

BECOME A REPUBLICAN AND VOTE WITH US.

The bicameral system is forever dead thanks to the likes of pelosi, shumer, clintons, every muzzy in Congress, bernie sanders ... you get the picture.

Democraps and Repunklicans Can Come Together for Gun Confiscation?

Please do come for them together. Maybe Lindsey would like to be the first one through my door. Or Schumer, or Pelosi. If my door was wider, they could come through it abreast.

When it hits the fan; all politicians who voted to take our firearms, our one way to self-protect, should be on The List.

“California, Illinois, and Florida all have gun confiscation orders via red flag laws.”

note they didn’t mention maryland, where a flagged guy was killed by police during a confiscation.

If you don’t already have a list, you’re late to the party.

Blame old “Linda” all you want but it was Trump that green lighted the red flag laws.

The rat states are already running with them. The feds will work hard to catch up.

Now you know who you can thank.

Government health care programs are the perfect means. Drug databases and questions on gun ownership are the start. Anti-depressants, sedatives, anti-anxiety drugs opioids are red flags. Governments already have these databases.
Then, schools give questionnaires to young soviets on their parent’s gun ownership. Social service visits to follow.
Nosy leftist neighbors with false accusations will round it out.

I would love for them to come together and try and take it.

I keep thinking the same thing. Better they do it while I am still relatively young and skilled, so that hopefully my children won’t be forced into the mess that it will become.

Does anyone know if a legal challenge to the so-called “red flag” laws has been mounted?

I am not a lawyer, but it seems to me that red flag laws are unconstitutional in several different ways.

Any FReeper lawyers out there with knowledge re: their constitutionality?

I am strongly opposed to both Red Flag and No Knock warrants based on the accidental deaths they have caused and lack of government responsibility. On a personal basis, I have a relative going through a nasty divorce and custody battle. He is a concealed carry holder and has multiple guns. His wife has already threatened to report him to authorities as being a danger to himself and their children, obviously in an effort to gain leverage in the custody battle. I might add her behavior caused the divorce and she is currently in therapy for non-divorce issues. The potential for abusing the system for personal gain and deaths caused by surprise and forceful entry may, despite good intentions of our lawmakers, outweigh the benefits intended.

Once they have a red-flag law it will be expanded continuously to encompass everything they can think of.

It’s how they roll.
