May want to re-ping the RKBA Ping List.
Looks to me like Schumer dropped this into a totally unrelated Senate bill (S.2938) as Amendments SA 5099, (subsequently amended by SA 5100, which is amended by SA 5102, which is amended by SA 5103); and SA 5101, which adds an effective date.

Deep inside the gun bill: a break for drug middlemen - NewsBreak
That means, in this era of soaring costs, Senate negotiators decided to further insulate the nation’s largest health care companies from a federal law against accepting “ any kickback, bribe, or rebate” — using a bill that’s supposedly about regulating guns.

There is a reason the oath has “...from all enemies foreign and domestic...” in it. Americans too can be the enemy of freedom and plenty of them are. They tend to vote for the democrat party.
Do you mind unwinding all that and telling us what you mean?
I just hate it when “our side” gets a win, and the first thing outta the gate there’s folks — supposedly on “our side” — gotta piss on the parade with their threadbare “Oh, but it wasn’t perfect” tripe.
Like, “Quitcherbitchin! It was damned good enough to secure the win! Pop a cork and enjoy a moment of fresh air and sunshine.”
I COMPLETELY grasp that Roberts is a squishlmallow, but he put his name in the CONCUR slot, and that’s kinda all that I care about, and it’s pretty much all that history is going to remember.
In fact, I have an inside bet that Roberts’ mealy-mouthed concurring opinion is actually more about him deflecting the heat from the left by putting his pouty face on and saying, “I really didn’t think it needed to go this far... I’m only concurring because there’s part of the decision that really did need to happen.”
Hooah
ACH! Sorry. Thought this was the OTHER thread.
OK. I’m not certain I can adequately parse it all.
The links I posted simply expose that Schumer and Cornyn took a Rubio bill about renaming a couple of buildings, and hijacked it with an unrelated amendment, and that the construction of said amendment is completely inscrutable absent access to the text of the relevant sections of Law it proposes to alter, which is an obviously intentional obfuscation testifying to the authors’ intent to be unaccountable.
I can divine much of what the general aim is, but the particulars would take hours to construct, laying the edits atop the existing statutes to discover the new meanings intended.
“The Republicans basically negotiated the democrats to take a few slices of bread instead of the whole loaf, despite the republicans having the power to keep the entire loaf of they chose.”
We have Republican senators who are just as eager to disarm law-abiding citizens as the worst democrat. Your post assumes they wanted to improve the bill, which they did not.
Paying states to get aggressive on their red-flag laws will be a disaster for law abiding gun owners. It will create an industry of anti-gun experts who will be paid with federal dollars to invent all sorts of reasons to take away guns and who will charge $400 an hour to testify against gun owners. It will create LEO departments who eagerly create new FTE positions (funded by federal dollars) for red-flag enforcers who will hire the anti-gun experts to keep their bureaucratic position intact. The bureaucratic blob, lead by anti-gun local politicians will expand and expand.
And that is exactly what the anti-gun Republicans in the Senate intend.
“It seems obivous that you’d be allowed to have your own attorney, but I’m interpreting the representation line to also mean that you would not be able to have a public defender.”
The federal funding (bribing) of states to aggressively enforce red flag laws means the state and local enforcers will not be spending their own money—they will be spending federal dollars. You, on the other hand, will have to come up with $25,000 retainer on a weeks notice to hire an attorney.
That is a key part of the design of the red-flag laws. Unless you are wealthy or own a firearms collection worth more than the attorney’s fees, it makes no sense for you to pay a lawyer to get your guns back.
It’s slow motion gun confiscation.
