Senator Marco Rubio Introduces Bill To Suspend Gun Rights of Anyone Who Has Been "Investigated" For Domestic Terrorism

Republican lawmaker Marco Rubio has reintroduced legislation that seeks to suspend the Second Amendment rights of any person who has been investigated for "terrorism" related offenses within 10 years of attempting a gun purchase. The Senate bill, named the Terror Intelligence Improvement Act...

Text for S.1778 - 116th Congress (2019-2020): Terror Intelligence Improvement Act of 2019

www.congress.gov

So, my understanding here is that the Terror Intelligence Improvement Act from 2020 is being reintroduced this legislative session.

The crux of the bill is really:

(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act, the Attorney General shall establish a process under which, for any person who is, or within the previous 10 years was, the subject of a terrorism investigation by any Federal department or agency, the Attorney General may—
(A) delay the transfer of a firearm or explosive to the person for a period not to exceed 10 business days; and
(B) file an emergency petition in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the transfer of the firearm or explosive.

So it gives the AG authority to just deny someone their rights without due process, whether for the automatic 10 days, or permanently, as they see fit. I assume the cost of fighting (B) is going to be extremely high, and essentially a case of a right delayed is a right denied legislation. I cannot foresee a court in NY that will be fair or impartial towards denying option (B) on constitutional grounds.

That's the power they're looking to grant, yes.

They need to fear the citizens, not the other way around.

Half the Democrat party thinks anyone who voted for Trump should be investigated.

 

[GOPerfect]

There were many on this forum that supported Rubio when he was running against Trump back in 16.

Funny how there are less and less friends of America still in Washington.

WTF Rubio?!?!?!?! Who got to you?!?!?!?!?!?! Sick shit right there.

Modern day version of the “Writs of Assistance”. HHUA!

Just like "public health and safety" the term "domestic terrorist" will be so broadly defined it will allow the government to achieve the ability to infringe and violate more and more of our rights. Aaaaaaaaaand the shit keeps on comin.

The law’s threshold for being put on the list is low. Under Rubio’s legislation, being “investigated” for “domestic terrorism” — a vaguely interpreted offense mainly defined by partisan journalists and NGOs — which potentially millions of non-leftist Americans could be subjected to today, would nullify your ability to purchase a firearm.

Reporting done by Tucker Carlson Tonight recently revealed that the FBI collected the bank records of hundreds of people who traveled or made purchases in Washington DC on 1/6 without a warrant. A hotel worker who had attended the Trump rally near the Capitol but did not enter the building was investigated by the FBI, even though they had no probable cause to do so. The FBI would have the authority to put the aforementioned on this new list, without any meaningful checks and balances.

[Mr. terzmo]

In the end everyone will be investigated .. ... They have been lining this up for a long time .. Look at the definition of a hate crime is ... keeps expanding every year . What a fellow took down a banner that BLM put up ... He is charged with a hate crime I believe... = no guns for you... The definition of "terrorism " will also expand ... So they can cast a bigger net.

Where are the court challenges to the red flag BS? Surely the lack of any due process isn't Constitutional.

They stopped caring what is constitutional a long time ago.

They know they can bankrupt most people before they can get their case to SCOTUS. Anything other than that, they will just appeal until they get a judge that's a raving leftist.

If someone finally manages to get a case that looks like SCOTUS might decide it, they will just drop it to prevent the precedent from being set. They will say "only cost you a million dollars, but I guess you win, who's next ?"
