In the fog of all the wild attempts by Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-CA) House and the Biden administration to destroy the Second Amendment, the U.S. Senate may soon push forward a so-called “Red Flag” gun confiscation bill. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) is the lead sponsor of S. 292, which incentivizes states to pass Red Flag gun confiscation legislation in exchange for federal cash. Early cosponsors of the bill include Senators Rick Scott (R-FL), Angus King (I-ME), and Jack Reed (D-RI), making S. 292 a bi-partisan threat. I’m worried this bill has a good chance to pass and end up on President Biden’s desk, especially since the president called for this very legislation in a recent executive order. Marco Rubio’s Red Flag bill is a dangerous attack on the Second Amendment and a massive betrayal of liberty-loving Americans across the country. S.292 would put law-abiding gun owners in the position to have their home raided and guns seized by law enforcement with no warning and no crime committed. Who would want to put a civilian or law enforcement officer in that position? Worse yet, S.292 gives major cash incentives to states who implement these dangerous laws. This is yet another attempt by D.C. gun grabbers to manipulate states into selling out their citizens and the Bill of Rights. Frankly, this is disgusting and needs to be stopped immediately.

Senator Rubio isn’t the only Republican willing to sell out the Second Amendment for cheap political points with the press and the gun rights compromise lobby -- that’s what makes this bill the biggest threat to the Second Amendment so far this session! When he introduced the same legislation two years ago, Sen. Lindsey Graham locked arms with Rubio and his gun confiscation plan, which the left clearly supports. “I really can’t see a reason we can’t pursue this . . . we can make a stew here that works!” -Sen Lindsey Graham The anti-gun statists are grinning from ear to ear now that Rubio has re-introduced it, complete with support from Democrats and an Independent in the Senate. Without your help, I’m worried they may just succeed. I expect more of the same from Senator Graham, a proven turncoat on the Second Amendment who thinks a gun control “deal” is perfectly okay if ALL it does is allow government goons to ignore due process and seize the guns of Americans who’ve committed no crime whatsoever. But who else will join him in pushing for this bill? I don’t think we ought to wait to find out. Without your IMMEDIATE action, I’m worried you and I could be steamrolled by this blatantly UNCONSTITUTIONAL scheme. Sign the petition now! Under so-called “Red Flag” Gun Confiscation Orders, gun owners could be stripped of their Second Amendment rights through secret court proceedings where only your accuser is present! If a judge is convinced that you’re a “significant danger” to someone, including yourself, your Second Amendment freedoms could effectively be revoked. And you don’t even get to defend yourself! It doesn’t strain the imagination to see how such a policy would invite abuse . . . A jilted former lover who lies to a judge out of spite -- or a coworker who doesn’t like a political post you made on social media -- could be all that’s necessary to bring a heavily-armed SWAT team bursting through your door. You won’t be warned ahead of time -- and could very well mistake these “legal” intruders for common thugs who are coming for your life. I can’t comprehend what the anti-gun statists in BOTH parties don’t understand about the words you and I can plainly read in the Second Amendment’s clear and concise language. Patriot, what worries me most is that the temporary stalling of the other gun control bills could pave the way for this attack on the Second Amendment to become the “bipartisan solution” that they settle on. You and I cannot afford any compromises with the gun grabbers and must oppose this with everything we’ve got! So please sign your NO COMPROMISE petition IMMEDIATELY! >>SIGN THE PETITION! Once you’ve done that, please send a rush donation of $25, $75, or even $100 so we can fight Red Flag Laws on all fronts. This and every other gun control bill are simply about the gun-grabbers not letting a crisis go to waste. It’s about control. That’s why I need all hands on deck for Campaign for Liberty’s effort to defend the Second Amendment and stop the Gun Control freight train that’s bearing down on us. In states with these “Red Flag” laws on the books, reports of shootouts between law enforcement and gun owners are becoming commonplace when they could be easily avoided if we’d just follow our Constitution’s Fifth Amendment right to due process. And when these gun seizures don’t result in a hail of gunfire, innocent law-abiding gun owners often find it takes weeks or even months -- not to mention thousands of dollars in fees -- to get their firearms back. THIS is what the anti-gun statists in both parties have decided is the “solution” to the recent gun crimes, and they’re pumping up the anti-gun rhetoric with every single incident! You and I both know it won’t work. The ONLY way to stop a bloodthirsty madman with a gun is if good people are armed and ready to fight back. Without an outpouring of opposition from liberty-minded citizens like you, I’m worried a “Red Flag” disaster is in store. Needless to say, the very public bipartisan rush to so-called “Red Flag” schemes you and I are seeing right now is bad enough. When a “deal” is struck over bad legislation, you and I often don’t have a lick of time to react. Just think back to the bank bailouts during the last financial crisis or the so-called “PATRIOT” Act. That’s why I’m counting on your IMMEDIATE action to stop this before it sees the light of day. Please sign your “NO COMPROMISE” petition right away. For Liberty, Ron Paul Chairman P.S. The political class will stop at nothing to use every single tragedy involving illegal gun use to come after law-abiding gun owners in a brazen attempt to disarm them. They’ll even completely throw out due process to get the job done. Sign the petition now to stop Sen. Rubio’s Red Flag gun confiscation plan.
