Gun rights groups responded to the bipartisan gun control bill yesterday after it was announced that 10 RINO Republican senators crossed over to support it.
From The Epoch Times:
The National Rifle Association (NRA) and Gun Owners of America (GOA) both issued statements Sunday after a bipartisan group of senators announced they’d reached an agreement on a gun control and safety package.
“Here we go again, Republican legislators compromising your rights and getting nothing in return,” GOA wrote in a Twitter post, referring to proposals in the framework deal. “Federal dollars to bribe your state legislators into enacting unconstitutional ‘red flag’ laws, which could allow a court to seize your weapons, without any due process, simply based on anonymous tips.”
It added that the bill would entail “wait periods and extensive review for those under 21 seeking to exercise their Second Amendment rights … we will not allow the government to make those who can vote and fight our wars second class citizens.”
The proposal, which has the backing of 10 Republicans in the Senate, includes initiatives to support state crisis intervention orders, an enhanced review process for gun buyers under the age of 21, expansions on various mental health programs, a ban on straw purchases, and other measures.
After having experienced the California "red flag" confiscation law several years ago from a vindictive ex, I also have to oppose any measure that promotes them. Fortunately for me, there was enough evidence to refute the claims made and I got my guns back. Red flag laws have been abused by vindictive ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends out for revenge. You can expect more of this if more red flag laws are enacted.
