Have you ever wondered what patriots heard from the pulpit while they were oppressed and occupied by the British?
Pastor Baldwin’s Liberty pulpit is still on fire. Join us 2:30 PM MST every Sunday at https://libertyfellowshipmt.com/
The quote: “‘Red flag’ gun confiscation laws violate every principle of liberty upon which our country was founded. There is no due process associated with “red flag” laws. A judge’s order to seize the firearms from an American citizen who has not been accused of a crime, charged with a crime, convicted of a crime—or who never even threatened to commit a crime—based on the accusation of a single individual is anything but due process.”
With some luck the stunningly egregious Constitutional violations of “red flag laws” will also draw some attention to the equally egregious unconstitutional Asset forfeture laws. Neither can be allowed to stand in a truly free Constitutional environment.
I think we should be equally outraged at the laws that take guns from anyone accused of domestic violence. It is rare that anyone accused of domestic violence uses a gun. It is far more common that the charge of domestic violence itself is used as a ploy to gain advantage in a divorce. I knew a divorce lawyer who would not take the case if the woman refused his advice to accuse her husband of domestic violence and file a RO.
The firearms law regarding domestic violence is retroactive. Think about that. Some people …… prior to enactment of the current background check laws ……. pleaded guilty to untrue misdemeanor domestic violence accusations but would not have done so if they knew future gun rights were at risk. I know someone in this category.
Additionally, I hate the “instant” computer background check. The NRA proposed this in lieu of a “waiting period”. I’d rather wait a few days rather than trust a government computer system. (In all fairness to the current system I have never failed a background check).
