A Second Amendment advocate does not think a controversial gun-grabbing law passed by the House will make it out of the Senate.
Last week the House approved a “red flag” bill that would allow families, police, and others to ask federal courts to order the removal of firearms from people perceived to be at extreme risk of harming themselves or others. The removal would be carried out without the owner having a chance to object. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia currently have such laws in place.
The bill passed on a mostly party-line vote of 224-202. Louisiana Republican Congressman Mike Johnson voted against it and warned that it would allow the courts to take guns away from people “without notice and without even the right to appear in the hearing to defend themselves in court.”
Mike Hammond, legislative council to Gun Owners of America, adds that red flag laws can be fatal.
“That’s happened in Ferndale, Maryland with Gary Willis, a 62-year-old black man whose aunt and uncle didn’t like his politics,” Hammond notes. “Unbeknownst to him, and without his ability to have anything to say, the police arrived I think at 5:17 in the morning. After a brief encounter, the police shot him to death.”
The Second Amendment advocate asserts this is against the American way.
“It’s very similar to what the Nazis did after Kristallnacht,” Hammond references. “Without any hearing that you participate in, just because of the snitch who doesn’t like you, basically a police SWAT team raids your house in the middle of the night and starts confiscating your property with no due process whatsoever.”
But Hammond believes the bill has little chance of getting the 61 votes necessary to overcome a Senate filibuster.

It’s common sense that family should be able to use red flag laws. If you have mental health and won’t take your meds, then I agree with red flag laws

in proof necessary just allegations and presto you are guilty in the eyes of Democrats.
Just like the Democrat Party’s Trump impeachment:
Nancy Pelosi admitted an unfortunate truth about her
orchestrate and fabricated impeachment “farce”
– It hinges on witness’s “allegations” not “proof”.
It’s Not A Question” Of “Proof”, It’s About “Allegations”

The “Red Flag Law” would be ok… If they required a doctor to decide, like the Baker Act.
Not Just allegations or someone’s opinion. NO PROOF REQUIRED, all conservatives are mentally unstable according to the treasonous, socialist Democrat Party. So no registered Republican can own a gun, confiscate them all.
The 2nd Amendment has no value according to the Democrat Party, so Democrats don’t need to obey it.
Except they don’t work. There were 4 parents, 2 actual parents and 2 actual grandparents who did nothing to stop the Uvalde shooter. No one stopped the Buffalo shooter. We could go on and on.
If there are to be red flag laws there must be punishment for parents and teachers who say nothing beforehand.
Plus, we’ve all seen what spouses get up to in divorces.. espcially with false allegations against the fathers.. TILL and only IF i see anything in these red flag laws, where the ACCUSERS FACE actual punishment, for making false accusations or ones without merit, i will NEVER, EVER agree to them.
In theory, red flags do look like a good common sense approach. But it relies on people and local police departments and mental health experts to make them work. Both failed in the Parkland and Robb school shootings because some idiot didn’t do his job. Then there’s the fact that red flag laws can easily be abused by a citizen or politician or some other watchdog group. In the case of a messy divorce the red flag law can be used to smear a spouse for a better settlement. Then there’s politicians like the dummycrats using Antifa/BLM to enforce silence of all dummycrat opposition like Hitler’s SS did or Stalin’s KGB did. There needs to be a lot more things added to this kind of law in order to prevent abuse and to also punish the people who fail to do their job that causes gun ownership abuse.
BUT as we’ve seen, many times someone gets seen as a nutter, THE ONES WHO ARE responsible for passing that info on, to those who NEED IT, don’t DO their job..
This is reminiscent of the days when people could be committed to insane asylums in much the same way just to keep them out of the way. Now days the asylum might be the safest place for sane people because the insane are running the country!
So the feckless Democrats and 10 RINO’s like this version of ‘Red Flag’ laws. Remember, the Democrats want to censor your speech. If you say something they deem inflammatory, mis or dis-information, then you could be ‘unstable’ and soon receive a knock on your front door and time to turn over your guns.
Red Flag Laws are unconstitutional because they violate the 4th Amendment (and others). They bypass “due process”. Hopefully, SCOTUS would abrogate such legislation.
ONE can hope they have the balls to act, to SHUT DOWN red flag laws.. BUT seeing some of their decisions recently,. i fear they do not.
Make no mistake. It is not just about the 2nd amendment. They are not just coming for our guns, they are coming for our rights. The have a fundamental issue with the Bill of Rights. They want to take your right to free speech, they want your method to defend yourself, and that’s only the beginning. If they want you to have a “right”, its because they gave it to you and can take it away if you don’t comply. My son is a history major and he says they even have it wrong in their name. “Democrat” refers to democracy which we are not. We are a representative republic (hence “Republican”). If we were a democracy it would be 51 percent tells everyone else what to do.
Which means if THEY decide what you can and can’t do, its NOT A right, but a privilege.
