THREAD: @LindseyGrahamSC is WRONG on red flags. Any form of these Gun Confiscation Orders (GCOs) are incompatible with due process.
Graham’s previous bill -- and what he will most likely reintroduce -- is essentially a federal “bribe pot” to encourage states to pass GCOs. Graham fraudulently argues that his bill would recognize due process...
...However, his bill’s “due process” is below the standard of “beyond a reasonable doubt.”
But, even if “beyond a reasonable doubt” were the case, his bill could not fund ANY state program currently on the books -- or any program being considered by any state legislature -- because they do NOT include due process prior to seizing a gun owners' firearms!
BTW, Graham claims he spoke to gun groups on GCOs. Well, he did NOT speak to GOA. And if he did, we’d tell him “NO.”
So what’s a solution? As we said in our statement, Congress should pass concealed carry legislation and remove gun-free zones. State legislatures should pass Constitutional Carry. Let people defend themselves! gunowners.org/goa-statement-…
