You were elected to uphold the United States Constitution and represent the American people in the Senate.
If you vote for this Red Flag Confiscation bill, you will be attacking our constitutional rights to bear arms, attacking our constitutional right to due process, and turning your back on the American voters who trusted you to represent us in the Senate.
This bill would create a federal bribe pot to encourage states to pass Red Flag Gun Confiscation bills. This means SWAT teams would be empowered to show up at innocent Americans doorsteps, demanding they fork over their guns, all because theyve been named a suspected danger to our society.
This is exactly what happened to an African-American gentleman living in Maryland. After a family argument, an angry relative got revenge against Gary Willis by using the state Red Flag Gun Confiscation law to send police to his door. The authorities showed up at 5:17 a.m. and shot him to death.
These Red Flag gun grabs will undoubtedly be used as ploys to get revenge against innocent Americans and will move our country down a dark and dangerous road.
Anyone who tells you that the Graham legislation would not compromise the due process of American citizens is deceiving you.
If that were the case, it could not fund ANY state program currently on the books or any program being considered by any state legislature. Because not one state with red flag gun grabs currently includes due process prior to seizing a gun owners' firearms!
Like all gun control, Red Flag Gun Confiscation Laws will only end up hurting honest, innocent Americans who play by the rules and want to keep themselves and their families safe.
If you go down this road of supporting gun control, you could face HUGE repercussions at the polls. Rush Limbaugh has already begun bashing Republicans after it was reported on Monday that the GOP was getting behind red flag laws. Limbaugh called these laws a pipeline to gun control.
Gun Owners of America has also vowed to support a primary challenger to Lindsey Graham because he introduced this bill. Republicans who vote for this radical measure could be next.
Come next election, I, and many of my fellow American citizens will remember whether you voted to uphold the United States Constitution or chose to cower before the anti-gun mob.
Give NOTHING.
NOT ONE INCH!!!!!!
It is all precrime and a means to deny due process.
They claim to figure with red flag laws what and who is doing what ahead of time, but then claim they cannot figure. Motive in the Vegas shooter, like there is no motive so they cannot figure even if there was a massacre or something... like it cannot be proven as illegit . Some sick people in the deep state.
‘May be unconstitutional’? It’s patently so.
The time for talking, writing ‘strongly worded letters’ and complaining about the loss of our rights is over.
Join like-minded people and formulate PPP’s.
It depends who’s on the Supreme Court
If we get Hardiman as a Supreme Court nominee, maybe. If Trump follows the *it's a woman's position, so you have to replace her with Amy Coney Barrett or Britt Grant*, don't hold your breath. The fix is in.

Roberts will vote with the rock solid liberal block more often to offset Trump’s nominees. No way he lets “his” court veer conservative.
No, it doesn’t. I’m perfectly capable of reading and understanding both the US and my State’s Constitution without the assistance of 9 black-robed political appointees.
