Go to Hell, you tyrants.
Rand Paul would have been red-flagged by his insane neighbor in a heartbeat.
Red Flag laws are the window dressing for the kinds of actions that put Salem, MA in the history books.
I like Rand even though I disagree with him on a few things.
This is something that could make me hate him.
I hope this is just the pain medication talking and he wises up quick.
I’m not even crazy and I already have my red-flag stash. You take the ones with paperwork and I’ll be back in 20 minutes with the other ones.
If they are such a danger, then why aren’t they being institutionalized? That’s the way it used to be done before we had all these mass shootings. If they are crazy and want to kill, just taking away their guns isn’t going to stop them.
Pretty disappointed over this one myself.
He would.
who pays your defense bills for frivolous accusations????!
Out of the last 10 maniac killers, how many had been reported by family, medical personnel, etc.? Would that be none of them? So this miracle cure would have accomplished nothing.
What’s with these Libertarian types lately?
First that empty headed SE Cupp (ashamed of her given name?) and now Senator Rand. Does anyone have any stones left?
Hypocrite!!!!
He pretends to be this great defender of the Constitution and the BoR - and then comes out with a statement like this.
You KNOW, that if him and people like him, signal a willingness to “compromise” that it is a BOHICA situation for We The People and our rights. The Dems/Leftists view of “compromise” is that they get less than they dream of getting - it is NOT, under ANY circumstances, a situation in which they actually give up something (such as, we allow a very limited Red Flag statute like Paul is talking about, and in return Title 18, Section 922(o) is repealed, thus re-opening the NFA registry for full autos). Propose THAT or nationwide shall-issue carry, and then we can think about it.
As for the “universal background check” - that is an absolute non-starter. It would, by necessity, REQUIRE the full registration of every single firearm and tying each to a specific owner. IOW, the registration that would inevitably precede a confiscation order 10-20 years down the road. No f’ing way!!!!
But that would never happen.
I suspect Rand Paul knows this and is setting up his future objections to whatever is proposed. He is somewhat famous for rejecting anything that falls short of his standards.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
I rest my case, your Honor.
Those that think such laws will be used for people like this are sorely mistaken.
Rand Paul, Libertarian, my foot.
A strange kind of libertarian who loves gubmint control.
Liberal-tarian.
The thought police are being outfitted with their black boots
