The above is a link to a pdf file.

I can’t find a link to HTML.

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

It’s a good point. They have likely sanitized it for the masses.

If you find the bill please post

but won’t affect the gun rights of law-abiding citizens.

Yeah...bs.

Red flag laws are an assault on law-abiding citizens.
Just wait for the stories about how thanks to red flag laws so many individuals have their rights taken away. For no reason.

Thank my 2 NC Senators for selling us out.

A-holes.

Need a link to the actual bill. The interpretation of it by the press is useless.

Ok, here's the weasel words that will continue to allow red flag laws to basically be a confiscation program:

"the right to be represented by counsel at no expense to the government";

"The heightened evidentiary standards and proof under such programs must, at all appropriate phases to prevent any violation of any constitutional right"

"penalties for abuse of the program"

https://www.murphy.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/bipartisan_safer_communities_act_text.pdf

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 "appropriate" phase will be applied to hearings. This already occurs for the parts of the red flag laws that actually have hearings before confiscation.

But the problem occurs when they consider it an "emergency". In that case , the seizure can occur simply with a cop "believing" there is a problem, i.e. ex-girlfriend knows the guy gets sloshed on friday night at home so calls the cops because she is concerned he may be "suicidal".

Cops show up and see, yup, he's drunk. They immediately go to the court for the emergency warrant. Since it's night, there is no judge, only a magistrate that will rubber stamp it.

No "penalties" are specified, nor are the "Abuses", hence, there will be NO COST AT ALL against the ex and cops in the scenario above.

I was considering reselling my guns to the government but after a quick background check discovered they have a history of violence and instability.

That's the house bill. Cornyn is working the senate version which they apparently haven't put on congress.gov yet. I only found this:

https://www.murphy.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/bipartisan_safer_communities_act_text.pdf

Probably will get posted today or tomorrow.

This is why I have not “store bought” a gun for years. Gun shops will go out of business

I've lived about everywhere in the world and it amazes me that some think another American is their enemy.

When lefttard californians move to your neighborhood, drive like selfish psychopathic maniacs and put everyone at risk, then on top of it support leftist politicians, you may need to re-assess that thought.

Hope it never happens in your neck of the woods. Saw one fellah we follow occasionally for social commentary and he was raving over the idiocy of "his new neighbors" and has decided to move to the East coast.

Not going to help him any.

I understand your fears and of course I would walk around the average democrat run hellhole and feel safe...its the other places in the world that I have been and concerns for my personal safety...

Americans are not welcomed in many places in the world including Russia and China not to mention the middle East and I have no doubt our enemies have a very good chance of doing us in...

Exactly. The 2nd Amendment is nibbled away bit by bit and the DemoNazis give up nothing.
