The Senate Judiciary Committee, which is chaired by recent Trump convert Lindsey Graham (R-SC), is the committee of jurisdiction holding the hearings. Sen. Graham could stop the Red Flag laws dead in their tracks if he so chose, or if Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) directed him to.

Bipartisan support for this red flag gun bill has caused pro-gun organizations like Gun Owners of America to stand up in opposition, as BLP recently reported (https://bigleaguepolitics.com/gun-owners-of-america-rips-apart-lindsey-grahams-new-gun-control-scheme/).

Once the Texas senator was given the mic, he gave his two cents on the red flag bill, describing mass shootings as an “epidemic” during his testimony at the hearing. Cruz’s testimony was temporarily derailed by a gun control activist who interrupted the proceedings, yelling, “End Gun Terror!” and was quickly escorted off the premises by security.

Once the commotion settled, Cruz went back to his testimony. “I do think extreme risk laws, of the kind we’re discussing can potentially be part of the solution set,” Cruz said.


The position taken by Senator Cruz is in line with President Trump's views on Red Flag Gun Confiscations, Take the Guns First, go through due process second. :redflag:

Wasn't it just wonderful that the Republicans lost the House and we have divided government?:sarcasm:

Nothing gives RINOs an excuse to be the liberals they really are like being "forced" to "compromise" with the left.

So let’s get this straight. What is proposed is that someone is somehow identified as being so dangerous to society that they are going to kill a bunch of people, and the solution is to put their name on a secret list? Seems legit.

Funny how teocons eventually turn into everyday neocons...
