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.

Guilty as charged!
“Red Flag” laws are about taking guns away from white people.
The guy on the right, isn’t he the one who has his telescopic rifle sight mounted backwards?
STFU, whore. Normal people have no interest in your inane Communist blathering!!!
she should have to accompany them on raids
Why is this stupid beotch even given a platform?
She’s NOT eligible to be POTUS to begin with.
All these foreign beotches need to be removed from our govt and our country.
I used to call Harris “Cameltoe Harris” but I want to add a new name to her, Comrade “I decide who is racist” Harris, the new Commiessar for Racism of California.
Like the good old Nazi and Communist judges of the 1930’s., “You’re all guilty.” Balliff, what was their crime, just for the record?
#4. Yes, a “RED FLAG” law is most appropriate for Harris. Maybe she can run it up Little Willie Brown’s pole.
Someone SERIOUSLY needs to ask her: “Ma’am - would this proposed law cover the New Back Panther Party AND the Black Hebrew Israelites as well?”
