Some Republicans Now Want Gun Confiscation

Washington, DC – -(AmmoLand.com)- It’s been said quite often that Republicans are the “Stupid Party.”

Well, the party of stupid has struck again, and “Exhibit A” is the Republican Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee — Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Based on what Graham is doing, one would think he’s planning to forfeit control of the Senate to the Democrats and to lose the White House in 2020. Because he is holding a hearing to promote the nastiest form of Bloomberg-sponsored gun control.

As it turns out, Graham and his new “best buddy,” anti-gun zealot Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), are scheduling a hearing on Gun Confiscation Orders — sugar-coated as “red-flag laws” — on March 26 of this month.

Gun Confiscation “red-flag” Orders were drafted and are being promoted nationally by Leftist anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg.

They would allow an angry relative or the police to make a telephone call to a judge. And, based on that telephone call, the judge can issue an order stripping you of your Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights — all without your knowledge.

The first thing you would learn about it is when the SWAT Team arrived at your door in the middle of the night — ready to ransack your home and, if you resisted, to arrest or shoot you.

Let’s make one thing perfectly clear: Gun Confiscation Orders would not have stopped ANY mass shooting in American history — and they do NOTHING to reduce homicides, suicides, crime, or mass shootings.

Gun Confiscation “red-flag” laws have been proven to be ineffective:

• They were in effect in Connecticut at the time of the Newtown shooting in 2012.
• They had long been in effect in California during the Thousand Oaks massacre last year.
• And they were in effect in Illinois during the Aurora shooting earlier this year.
• In fact, criminologist John Lott has conducted the definitive study of Gun Confiscation Orders.

He found that red flag laws have been an utter failure when it comes to lowering crime rates:

• They do not reduce homicides;
• They do not reduce suicides;
• They do not reduce mass shootings;
• They do not reduce crime of any kind; and
• They may even INCREASE the incidence of rape.

So if red flag laws don’t make people safer, what are they good for? In short, they are just another effort by gun-hater Bloomberg to “put points on the board.” To date, only two key Senate bills imposing Gun Confiscation Orders have been introduced (S. 7 and S. 506). But more such bills are expected.

So now is the time to contact your Senators and demand that they oppose this dangerous legislation.

In Liberty,

Michael Hammond
Legislative Counsel

I urge you all not to sit idly by and let this happen just because Republicans are the ones who are doing it.

It can and will be used against you...

When it comes to these “red flag” gun confiscation laws, remember, we do NOT have a friend in the white house or the AG office.

This would end up before the SC.

The only Senators I have are a Communist and a RINO.

We’d say the obvious, that they’d get their dam. Brains blown out. Except they obviously don’t have any

Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Name names.

[Spok]

This law is solely intended to punish people who support gun rights.

[LIConFem]

I’ve got two Commies, so I guess that means I win... sorta...

For 2020, Flimsey Grahamnesty, Thom Tillis, Gardner, McSally, Daines, Collins, Cornyn, Capito, Enzi, Rounds, Graham, Sasse, Hyde-Smith, McConnell,

Guns today. Then it’ll be knives. Then hammers. Then just start cutting off hands.

Schools have had butter knives banned for years. Sharpened #2 pencils and pointy compasses can do a heck of a lot more damage than butter knives.

You knew that they would. Republicans always parrot what the Democrats say.

Let’s face it, the Republican party in general resents our ability to resist government almost as much as the Democrat Party. And the election of Trump has angered them even more. We have no business resisting them.

Any one who has been paying attention has known that red flag laws are the coming approach to gun confiscation. And once states started doing it it’s inevitable that the feds would want to get in on it.

It is also inevitable in my opinion, that eventually keeping your guns and your gun rights is going to come to armed [and violent] resistance.

The Republican party is not our friend on this subject. Some Republicans are, but the party as a whole is not. Like the Democrats they distain the average American, they’re just slightly more subtle about it. Usually. I think that since President Trump was elected they have made less effort to hide their antipathy for the “little people”.

It is imperative that those of us that have the ability to appropriate effective weapons made prior to 1895 do so. Krags, Winchesters, SA Army, Trapdoors, and even Mausers can be had that are in excellent shape. Black powder rifles are not registered and can be bought easily. Whitworths are very accurate.

Be serious, those like McConnell will not even get a serious primary challenger. Collins has been there as long as she has because Maine wants her there. A practical goal might be to replace a few like Sasse with more reliable conservatives. He votes with Trump 80% of the time but Nebraskans don’t like his showboating. McSally will run as an incumbent and is as conservative as you can expect to get from the state that reelected McTurd over and over.

I’m really tired of treason...

He had a very good challenger last time, KY elected him Gov.

They aren’t ‘Republicans’ if they do.................
