There was a common phrase that you used to hear tossed around when talking about someone that you disagree with. People would say, “You can’t blame them for trying.”
I’m not sure that phrase was ever really true, but when we’re talking about anti-2A zealots like the Biden administration, I can definitely say that the phrase isn’t true. You certainly can blame them for trying to take your guns. They have the data, can see it in context, and they know what the results will be if they succeed in taking your guns (the results will be more crime, especially more violent crime).
So, yes, I can blame them for trying, and you should, too.
And what are they trying to push on us today? Michael Clements gives us the details:
In addition [to other new directives from the Biden Justice Department pushing gun control], over $135 million will go to 48 states under the Byrne State Crisis Intervention Program for red flag programs, state crisis intervention court proceedings, and related programs.
[Mark] Oliva [managing director of public affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation] expressed some concern over the red flag grants. He said his group supports them if due process rights are preserved under the law.
“To date, none of the states with these ‘red flag’ laws contain provisions that protect the due process rights of individuals who might be subject to these laws,” Oliva’s email reads.
That’s right, the Justice Department under Joe Biden is using $135 million of tax payer money to push red flag laws, meaning that you and I are paying for this garbage.
These are the same red flag laws that haven’t stopped a single mass shooting (that I’ve every heard of) and that won’t save any lives. If they did, then, current laws on the books to take firearms from dangerous people would have already saved lives.
And they haven’t.
It kind of makes you think that they want you disarmed and poorer (by taking and wasting your tax money) for other reasons, doesn’t it?
