Because it is illegal?

...the legislation will take guns out of the hands of people who are dangerous or break the law but won’t affect the gun rights of law-abiding citizens.

“There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.” ― Ayn Rand

So they'll declare the political opposition dangerous, and pass laws that only affect the normal citizen...

In response to the 80 pages of proposed legislation, I give to you 1 sentence:

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

I reduce it to two phrases: the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Depends. Are you white?

Red flag laws are an assault on law-abiding citizens.

I fully expect to be red flagged as I have repeatedly posted the following, or versions thereof: If we are ever forced to armed rebellion, remember that the primary targets must be THOSE WHO GIVE THE ORDERS.

They will definitely want to order me red flagged.

“...period of at least five years”

In other words, forever. And will cost all you have, and more, just fighting it.

“...money to administer red flag laws to take guns away from people deemed dangerous to themselves or others.”

Lots of states loving those grants.

No it’s because you don’t understand what I’m talking about.

ALL Trump supporters are “dangerous”, according to the illegitimate regime.

80 pages, lots of room for anything else ,
Do you Freepers know that Biden’s Covid bill included grant money to help people of African ethnicity (but no one else) buy homes ?
Yes it’s true.

Thank God! Finally, “Jug Ears”, and Holder will be held to account! /sarc

I just read the bill. The grants for “red flag laws” aren’t specifically tied to those laws. Instead, the bill says, States can get money for implementing “crisis intervention” proceedings, which INCLUDE but are NOT LIMITED to extreme risk protective orders.

A State that doesn’t enact a “red flag” is still eligible for the grant money, if they use it for other things like mental health courts or veterans courts.

This is a hole wide enough for any State that doesn’t want a Red Flag law, to drive a truck through and STILL get the money.

Half the country is on the side that wants to toss us into gulags.

Pretty easy to see they’d love to kill us

I doubt there are any Dems who view this as a “big win” - looks like a big nothingburger to me. Wouldn’t have stopped Uvalde or Buffalo, won’t stop anything else. Makes it easier for prosecutors to get bs convictions, which is mostly what they do anyway...

And hidden inside is even more than this obviously. This is just what they are reporting. Wait for the rest of the hidden restrictions.

Red flag laws will be applied for Trump supporters, pure-bloods/non-clot shot, etc.

Deep State really doesn’t want people reading that bill, do they...

Why should citizens read a bill Congressmen and Senators haven't read nor will they ever read?
