Graham Announces Gun Confiscation ‘Red Flag’ Legislation Backed By Trump
GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday he plans to introduce a bipartisan “red flag” gun confiscation bill that will have President Donald Trump’s support.

Graham announced he had reached a deal with Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal to create a federal grant program to help states establish “red flag” laws, or laws that facilitate gun confiscation when a threat is detected, according to a statement.
“I have reached an agreement with Senator Blumenthal to create a federal grant program to assist and encourage states to adopt ‘Red Flag’ Protection Order laws to timely intervene in situations where there is an imminent threat of violence,” the South Carolina senator said

Red Flag” Laws, or, Why Gun Owners are Stupid
What is it about gun owners that makes us argue stupid things? We get all facts and logic about something but the reality is that facts and logic don’t change minds. If facts and logic worked to change minds, no one would be pro gun control.

Case in point. So called “Red Flag” laws. Sometimes called “Extreme Risk Protection Orders,” these laws basically say that someone can report you to the government, usually in secret, and a judge will secretly order your guns seized without ever giving you a chance to dispute it in court. At some later date, you are expected to show up in court, with a lawyer you’ve paid for, and try to get the judge to agree that you’re not a danger to anyone.

Cue the gun rights activists:
“WHAT ABOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW!!!111Eleventy!”

Proof, if ever you needed it, that there is an agenda.

LOL, If there is a real imminent threat, its pretty much to late. There was an imminent threat to the people in Wall mart. How do you prove these shooters were an imminent threat 24 hours before they caught a ride on the crazy train?

No way do I support this but why is the Fed Gvmt Funding state and local law instead of just passing this so called "needed" bill? Could it be that most congress critters don't want to be directly linked to their states red flag law? I'll bet that's it.
