Gun deal in jeopardy after senators fail to agree on gun confiscation red flags
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jun, 2022 | D. Parker

The much-vaunted capitulation over our sensible civil rights is falling apart with some Republicans finally discovering they had backbones.

Senator John Cornyn, the lead Republican of the surrender caucus walked out of the talks on Thursday evening after hours of negotiations. He was quoted in a Reuters story: Lead Democrat hopeful on U.S. gun legislation despite Republican walk-out.

"I don't know what they have in mind, but I'm through talking," John Cornyn

Red flags over Gun Confiscation Orders (GCOs) and the 'boyfriend loophole' continue to be the primary sticking point in the surrender negotiations. Many wake up to the extreme danger and unconstitutionality of GCOs, aka ERPOs (‘extreme risk protection orders), or other deliberately deceptive labels.

The senators had missed the deadline of Thursday that would have made it possible to get the measure passed before the July 4 recess. Anti-liberty leftists fear that they will lose too much in the way of emotional interest in the issue if they delay past that point. For all the talk of a groundswell of demands for authoritarian controls, studies have shown that surges in support for more restrictions are fleeting at best.

I am guessing that there are many school teachers that have plans to get children to file red flag complaints against their parents.

How about this flag:

When a politician talks about restricting 2A, then seize THEIR guns.

Children filing against parents? You bet.

Plus, any woman you’ve gone on a date with, or perhaps even your neighbors.

Cornyn saw the polling when he initailly supported this uncontititional plan and now is folding faster than Superman on laundry day with all the push back.

All politicians suck.

Take it to the logical extensiont. Your next door neighbor doesn’t like the candidate(s) whose signs they put in the yard. They drop a dime on you with the “fear, fear, fear” bleat and there you go.....ERPO whatever they’re gonna call it....

Tucker Carlson’s essay on Red Flag laws scared hell out of the cowardly Cornyn. And with good reason.

Anybody with a beef could be red flagged. I’m surprised the parents who complained at the school board meetings weren’t charged with hate crimes. This is just another law to be abused.

Haven’t the courts already determined “red flag” laws unconstitutional?

He got my email, and one from every member of my family. I still don't understand why we can't primary this bum.

Hell, we are worried about one of our family members....true little commie....texted family members to tell them that if we vote for pussygrabbing man, they are dead to her....oh, and when I posted pictures of my kids shooting .22s norrell auto sears (title 2 gun nfa), she actually posted on my FB page that she wished we had Red Flag laws since I was transferring machineguns to minors.

We were with family on family land shooting guns before deer season....an family tradition! Safety gear and learning gun saftety! WTF!? Family!

Anyways, when the balloon goes up: target acquired. Commies/liberals WILL turn you in. We've seen this before in E. Germany and China. Americans had better wake up.
