Shortly after President Trump's remarks to the nation Monday morning about back-to-back mass shootings over the weekend, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham announced a bipartisan agreement to federally fund local "Red Flag" laws.
“I appreciate President Trump’s strong statement rejecting hate and white supremacist ideology, urging us all to reject a culture of violence, as well as a call to action on multiple fronts," Graham released in a statement. “I have reached an agreement with Senator Blumenthal to create a federal grant program to assist and encourage states to adopt ‘Red Flag’ Protection Order laws to timely intervene in situations where there is an imminent threat of violence."

When the First Amendment was passed - presses only printed one sheet at a time. The Founding Fathers never imagined a day when High Speed AUTOMATIC printing presses could print thousand of sheets per minute.
So - I guess it is time to modify the 1st Amendment to keep dangerous high speed printing presses out of the hands of citizens.
Since the FBI seems to be ignoring the warnings maybe there is a conspiracy.
The thin edge of the wedge for firearms confiscation. The NRA is in disarray, the Republicans are in their hidey holes, and the GOA gets little media coverage. Write your Congresscritters and your local media outlets.
How about arming the citizenry?
Flimsey Grahamnesty needs to be thrown out in the primary.
As if THREE amnesty attempts since 2006 were not enough.....
Graham released in a statement. “I have reached an agreement with Senator Blumenthal to create a federal grant program to assist and encourage states to adopt ‘Red Flag’ Protection Order laws to timely intervene in situations where there is an imminent threat of violence.”

Maybe Lois Lerner or someone like her will be placed in charge of staffing up this program. What could possibly go wrong? /sarc
I cannot find information on whether or not any state red flag law has yet gone to the supreme court.
If you think "Swatting "was bad, wait until this is up and running.
Due process, takings, and 2nd amendment violation.
Subvert the constitution much, Linda?
They’re greasing up the slope.
In fact Due Process is necessarily PRECLUDED by Red Flag laws!!!!
FIRST they take your guns, THEN you have 2 weeks to prove you're sane....WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE!!!
You can't even schedule an appointment inside 2 weeks, let alone let the shrink arrive at a conclusion and then expect the Sheriff to evaluate the results.
As for RETURNING YOUR WEAPONS......HA!.....6 MONTHS TO A YEAR!
NO.
If Blumenthal is for it, include me out. Period. End of sentence.
I thought the bumpstock ban was going to save us.
Don’t think it has made it to the Supreme Court, I also don’t think John Roberts would stop it.
MD has already killed a man.
The Dems will never vote for it anyway
IF you ever get them back, they will be rusted junk.
Democrats in R jerseys like Flimsey Grahamnesty will.
Instead of looking at how disturbed individuals have been foisted onto society by the liberal ideal of closing sanitariums, they want to make it easy to disarm law abiding citizens of their firearms.
Confiscation, and antithetical to the second amendment.
