Democrats had no choice but to abandon their dream of heroin addicts on every street corner. Now they want to take the guns away that people would use to defend themselves against criminals.
The House Judiciary Committee is ready to hear testimony on HB19-1177, the “red flag” gun confiscation bill. We recently highlighted the Constitutional issues regarding this legislation and lack of due process.
Republican House Leader Patrick Neville was recently on KHOW with Dan Caplis to discuss the consequences of this bill, and possible recalls.
Rep. Neville explained how the issues with red flag gun confiscation are not just infringements on your rights, but places a lot of people in danger.
Think about it. After the Judge hears one-sided testimony based on he said she said and grants the confiscation of your guns, without you knowing any of this is going on, the first moment you’re involved is when law enforcement show up at your house to take your guns.
This puts both the gun owner and law enforcement officials in a dangerous situation, just like we saw in Maryland where a non-violent gun owner was shot to death. However, if police try to do this to someone with an actual mental health problem, that puts those officers at risk too.
This bill will also place stigmas on people who seek mental health treatment. Someone seeking help who is concerned about losing their right to self-defense, may suppress information on their health or resist treatment altogether for that sole reason.
People who suffer from mental “disabilities” are much more likely to be a victim of crime than a perpetrator, and people should not be forced to choose between defending themselves and their family, and mental health treatment.
When it comes to recalls, Rep. Neville indicated this might be the “straw that breaks the camel’s back,” and warned his fellow colleagues not to fall for whack poll numbers being tossed around by
After the mandatory gay sex bill and national popular vote pass, a red flag bill will more than likely lead to recalls. Especially after they were
Rep. Neville said they are looking at recalls seriously, but that there are other groups that are looking at recalls, and would be hard for leadership to stop even if they wanted to.
If you haven’t yet done so, please take a second to vote in our poll on if we should move to recalls.
No on all of the abovementioned
Recall
Patrick Neville is right, they pass red flag bill, people will be afraid to get help for any mental health issues, including depression. Afraid of gun confiscation, and their 2nd amendment right never given back to them. This would be the first step for the anti-gunners who would continue to covertly and progressively take away your 2nd amendment right.
No on all of them! Recall yes!
