Opinion. Senate Judiciary Committee to Hold Hearings in Favor of Gun Confiscation. Let’s Generate a Massive Outcry Against Gun Confiscation Orders in the Senate!
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,

Senator Graham
You’re treading on dangerous ground. Obama invites hordes of dangerous refugees into the country and now you want to take away the guns we use to protect ourselves. You’re a special kind of stupid, aren’t you
Great you are opening the door for some foreign country to put a hit on us, knowing they have taken our firearms away. Think you political fools.
So if and when a judge decide to tell the police they can show up my door to take away my gun they better remember when i show up at there door. I will not be looking to take away there gun I’ll be looking for pay back
it’s my right to have a gun.I will not give it up or my right to have it.
I oppose any attempt at a Gun Grab. This goes against the core values of this country. I can’t believe Lindsey Graham is supporting this.
I like Graham but he’s losing me with this. But why should he care? I’m in California.
He’s kicking off his 2020 re-election campaign in South Carolina with Mike Pence on March 30. Please, if you’re in South Carolina, tell him in person, call his office, whatever you need to do — tell him he will lose if he doesn’t come to his senses on this issue.
Everybody …… make a list, check it twice … of all these Senators who want to confiscate guns….. next election, break out the list.
THE ERPO will be used do deny Americans all their constitutional rights. Gun confiscation is the beginning. Social Media reviews are next. Denial of all freedoms for political reasons is the ultimate goal. Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and other despots all used an individuals mental health as reason to detain, imprison, and kill. Once democrats seize power guns will be the first things to be banned History is ones best teacher.
I haven’t read all the comments but the article is about as gdamn clueless a pile of words as I’ve seen in a lonnnnnnnnnng time
You idiots whining about these red flag bills need to educate your dumb asses about the reality of untreated mental illness
And then go look into all these mass shootings SURPRISE if the shooter is not some mooslime jeehawdi then its some fuckup
who has been causing serious trouble for months if not years before completely going nutters and shooting people
UNTIL THEN JUST STFU YOU IDIOTS
THANKS
If government spent half as much time on CRIME CONTROL as they do on “gun control”, America would be a much safer country Time For A New Government for The United States of America Governments exist to support the rights of the people. Governments exist only through the power of the people that they represent. When a government fails to grant rights to the people and removes the involvement of the people, the people have the right to change their government in a way that will allow for their unalienable rights to be protected. Governments should not be overthrown for… Read more »
