Neither does every NRA member. But some where in the back of their brains, they understand freedom and do unto others.

“Conservatism is not.”

YET. Don’t underestimates the progressives ability to coerce and destroy. We have been in their crosshairs since Woodrow Wilson.

Alrighty then........but let me know when “we’re looking at” that damn FBI and that incompetent Sheriff and school administrators that were responsible for the deaths of those 17 innocent Americans. Until then, nothing matters.

Oh, as for being “a threat to themselves or others”, how about going after the damn lying fake media. Sue them, arrest them, lock them up and throw away the key. I am sick of these ba$tards lies, lies and nothing but more damn lies. It is the media that has put our entire country at risk.

But he signaled a possible shift on the issue this week,

Why is it that conservatives are ALWAYS the side to get the shift?

I'll answer my own question....

Because conservatives will not throw a fit like the left does and they know the majority of the time they will get away with it.

I have been begging conservatives for years to get angry and fight back.

I can't throw a fit by myself.

[[Will be used by leftists to disarm ... YOU!]]

Not just leftists- but anyone with a beef with you- a spouse during a divorce- a jilted lover- someone who just doesn’t like a person and turns them in- big big chance of abuse with these red flag laws-

Your caveat is well considered; while I do agree with the principle here, I would encourage all studying this proposal to study the Serbsky Institute in Moscow in the bad old days.

Oh, well, as long as a JUDGE gets to make the determination, we have nothing to worry about.

Hopefully, Trump is playing box, stick, and piece of cheese with the dems again.

The AG’s website has the pdf file of his Red Flag advisory which seems to be a fair summary. To their credit the actual law is included in the file. This is worth reading. This AG was at the White House meeting and media are mentioning this law.

Scanning the document I see some disturbing elements.

See no option to transfer ownership.

Potential destruction of firearms after 5 years.

Considering that many of my colleagues felt a duty to declare DJT mentally ill and unfit, without conducting an evaluation, I would hope he can see the inherent dangers.

I don’t believe Trump is dumb enough to do this but if it did happen he could immediately say all democrats must turn in their firearms for being mentally ill. We know they are sick in the head they know it.

This proposed ‘law’ was passed by our Senate Committee yesterday and will get a vote by the whole Senate next week. This is in Vermont, which has always defeated crap such as this. If it passes our wishy-washy Governor would sign it.

Wouldn’t Liberals use it to remove guns from all of their neighbors?
