Full Version: House Passes Gun Control Bill

Quote:We reported on Thursday evening that the Senate passed the most sweeping gun control bill in decades by a vote of 65-33. Fifteen Republicans gave up on their alleged principles and signed aboard the concerning bill, which raises a lot of issues–including with red flag laws.

Here’s a great run-down on some of the problems in the bill.

While most Republicans were against it, it was championed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX).

Now, on Friday, the House has passed it in a 234 -193 vote, despite Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) whipping the Republican vote against it.

Still, 14 House Republicans voted for it, including predictable offenders like Rep. Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (RINO-IL).



Joe Biden has said he will immediately sign it into law.

Itd be a shame if the entire bill is nullified because of the SC rulings this week.

If not now, it will be at a later date. Just despair from the Left before an election. Obama had a Super Majority for two years and all he could get done is a Healthcare Law that has become useless. If the Left has a problem, protest his ass and Hillary for that matter because she was too bad to beat Trump. They have no mirrors.
Its mainly a financial bill, no?

What in it could the SC nullify
A bright spot on a dark day! Nice timing by Speaker Pelosi.

The red flag law stuff. The SC ruled this week that it is unconstitutional to force a citizen to prove they are entitled to a right guaranteed in the constitution. Red Flag laws basically do that.

If thats the case, and they dont word the bill properly, if any part of the bill is invalid, the entirey of the bill is invalid and the parts that werent unconstitutional have to be re-passed into law.

This. All of it. They'd have to word it in such a way that the Supreme Court declares that it doesn't violate the Second Amendment.

You could start with the part that declares people unconstitutionally guilty and forcing them to prove innocence and go from there.

I agree with that.

But this bill doesn't do that

It gives financial incentive for states to do so, but this bill doesn't "do the dirty work"

A state will have to act before the court can take action

It that is true, then the NRA doesn't need to wait to fund a lawsuit. 19 states already have red flag laws on the books. Including Connecticut since 1999 and Indiana since 2005.

Sick of your ass, go fuq yourself. There's not one thing in that bill that will save one single life.

Tiger, instead of that... how about asking gamenole...

Hey Gamenole, what part of that bill will guarantee that you're saving one single life?

When you can answer that question _Honestly_, I think you'll be taken a little more seriously.

The actual left does blame those things. Liberals have spent the last 6 years blaming "Bernie Bros" for Trump instead of blaming their own failures for decades.

Thats where we are. The bill itself doesnt lay out any specifics. It will depend on the manner that each state implements a "red flag" law. We regularly trample on the enumerated Constitutional rights of individuals every day---and its allowed by the Constitution as long as there was "due process" . Good examples are when we put someone in prison or when we institutionalize someone against their wishes. The key for red flag laws is there will have to be a process that alerts the individual of an allegation of being unfit to hold firearms has been filed against them along with giving those individuals the right to defend against it---including the right to confront their accuser. I also think there should be a substantial penalty for any "red flag" accuser who levels an "unfit to own fire arms" accusation at someone simply to annoy or attack that individual. For it to be constitutional---they will need to PROVE you unfit beyond a reasonable doubt BEFORE depriving you of your ability legally own fire arms.

Agree. Without due process rights it is un-American. Your second point is a great one. We need to put criminal penalties in place for false allegations, similar to filing a false police report, but perhaps even a little tougher because they are attempting to remove a Constitutional right from somebody.

I suggested the same

False accusations should lead to penalty and those falsely accused should be able to seek compensation for their wasted time and legal expenses
Quote:False accusations should lead to penalty and those falsely accused should be able to seek compensation for their wasted time and legal expenses

Seeing as how somebody accused of being a danger would need legal representation, I agree. This is also a form of lawfare, accusing somebody of something so they have to spend $ to hire representation.

IMO, the problem is that by giving states a federal incentive (i.e. FEDERAL tax monies) to create laws that violate due process, even if you and/or I reside in a state without anti-constitutional laws, OUR tax money is paying incentives to states such as CA, NY, and others who will.

That, in my opinion, creates a legal problem in which ALL of us by default remain affected.

I hear ya and don't necessarily disagree. But red flag laws have been around since 1999 at the state level including red states like Indiana and Florida. They are there to be challenged if anyone wants to do so.

Until the Court rules on their constitutionality the finance bill that just passed would be hard pressed to be found as unconstitutional
