Kamala Harris is proposing a new kind of 'red flag' law to take guns away from racists

Democratic presidential candidate and Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.) has taken the concept of "red flag" gun confiscation laws a step further with a proposal to take guns away from white nationalists who might commit a hate crime.

According to a policy proposal on her campaign website Wednesday, Harris said she would work to "combat and disarm violent hate" from white supremacists by pushing for legislation to give courts the ability to issue "Domestic Terrorism Prevention Orders" to take away the guns of "a suspected terrorist or individual who may imminently perpetrate a hate crime."

According to the statement, such orders "will allow certain individuals, including law enforcement officers and family members, to petition a federal court to temporarily restrict a person's access to guns if they exhibit clear evidence of dangerousness."

"We need to take action to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people and stop violent, hate-fueled attacks before they happen," Harris said in a statement. "By focusing on confronting these domestic terror threats, we can save lives."

Wednesday's proposal doesn't, however, explain how peoples' due process rights would be protected under such a law or what specific safeguards would be put in place to keep people from being stripped of their gun rights and property based on their viewpoints alone.

"What Harris is basically calling for is a way to punish people explicitly for holding unpopular opinions by taking their guns from them," Tom Knighton says of the proposal at Bearing Arms.

If that legislation applied to blacks in the ghetto the courts would be issuing millions of “domestic terrorism prevention orders”.

The proof that the order was valid would be when a police officer tried to serve the warrant. :-)

If we passed legislation allowing us to lock up anyone with a Scarface poster on their wall, we could reduce crime by 90% overnight.

Unfortunately uninformed people don’t know what those flags are and don’t know the history of what those countries actually did. We are dealing with industrial strength ignorance created by decades of Leftist-led government schools.

50% of the murders in this country are committed by black males between the ages of 15 and 30 years old. There’s your problem, Kamala. It ain’t us.

It is much easier for the government to prevent you from getting a gun than it is for them to take away a gun you already have. Let's not make it easy on them.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

according to kamala’s definition of terrorism, Beto (author of the Beto Manifesto) would not pass a background check to own a fire arm.

Someone should ask her if we should red flag swaths of downtown Chicongo, Destroit, Baltimorats, etc.
