Scarborough: ‘Maybe, Just Maybe’ There’s a Chance Now for Red Flag Laws, Universal Background Checks
Breitbart ^ | 05/31/2022 | Trent Baker

Posted on 05/31/2022 8:20:53 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

MSNBC “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday touted the bipartisan group of senators, led by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and John Cornyn (R-TX), working to achieve gun control legislation in the wake of the Uvalde, TX shooting.

Scarborough cited polling showing 85% of Americans support universal background checks and red flag laws and said that “maybe, just maybe” now was an “opportunity” to pass such legislation.

At best red flag laws are a state matter. Last thing we need is a massive new federal police force to investigate red flag complaints.

The mentally challenged Uvalde degenerate PASSED TWO BACKGROUND CHECKS in less than a week! Exactly how would universal background checks solve this problem?

The mentally challenged Uvalde degenerate had made MULTIPLE THREATS OF VIOLENCE AND RAPE, but no one reported them! Exactly how would red flag laws solve this problem?

Red fag laws would have to protect the rights of the accused so that they are not unjustly disarmed and severe penalties for accusing an innocent person.

The feds can't even investigate denied NICS checks. They claim that 300,000 felons were denied firearms purchases last year, but there were only 12 prosecutions for felons attempting to purchase firearms through NICS.

Every gun I’ve purchased in the past several years has resulted in a background check. I’ve had to wait up to three days to pick up the firearm as I have a common name.

Maybe, just maybe the laws currently on the books could be enforced. Just doing that would have stopped the Texas shooter.

Shut up,Joe! Unconstitutional Red flag laws did nothing to stop the Buffalo shooter! You and your ilk know damned well what needs to be done, but you refuse to do,anything to actually protect the kids because your only goal is to severely restrict law abiding citizens from owning guns- so stuff your worhtless opinion sir- the public is sick of your hypocrisy!

If all those laws are passed and another shooting happens what will be your next ask or is your claim that having all these laws passed means this can neve4 happen? I would recommend not giving an inch on this issue.

Never happen. They will be written to ensnare as many people has possible. Ever arrested for anything whether found guilty or not? Red Flag. DWI when you were 22 and you’re 70 now with no other offenses? Red Flag. Disciplinary problem in the 5th Grade? Red flag! Drug dealer? You’re cool. DemonRAT official who beats his wife and kids? You’re cool. Just watch.

My name is likely unique, but like you I’ve had my NICS ‘delayed’ and had to wait the three days.

In all fairness, it takes a while to read all your FR posts.

Biden to shut down Supreme Court!
“They’ve had a good run, but in today’s high speed world, their deliberations and legal arguments just slow things down. From now on the president will decide such things.”
The media and academics appear to be 100% behind the President’s decision.

Red flag laws will be worthless unless Scarborough is red-flagged by them. His motor-mouth runs at excessive RPM, which is very dangerous when you consider when that high RPM is spewing words that contain excessive MSPM (Moronic Statements per Minute).

First we red flag all the democrats and strip them of their arms.

There is nothing in the constitution that prohibits passing laws that are politically biased.

How about all those being treated for depression since Covid lockdowns? No gun rights for you!

The conversation needs to be about the propped open doors, the missing Resource Officer, and the one hour stand down by the LEOs, but with baby funerals happening all week everywhere one looks in media I don’t see how Truth can gain the narrative.
