Reportedly, the President’s liberal daughter Ivanka is taking the lead on gun control proposals. She has been calling members of Congress allegedly to get updates on gun control proposals.
Following the mass shootings, Ivanka Trump posted a note on her Instagram story calling on Congress to “enact Red Flag laws/Extreme Risk Protection Orders in every state, increase resources dedicated to mental health support nationwide and close background check loopholes.”
“You can strongly support and defend the 2nd Amendment while calling for these common sense, and long-overdue reforms,” she concluded.
She later reiterated that call to action on Twitter.
If Red Flag laws mean giving up due process, it must be a BIG ‘NO’!
As for loopholes, that wouldn’t have stopped one mass shooting. Red Flag laws probably won’t either because families don’t turn in their mentally ill relatives. We aren’t opposed if they include due process and keep the gun owners’ guns for return if they win their cases.
DEMOCRATS WANT AUSTRALIAN-STYLE BUYBACKS
If Democrats do what they want, they will have a revolution on their hands.
Most of the Democrat candidates want some version of an Australian-style buyback program. They want to reduce the estimated 400 million guns owned by civilians in America.

After they reduce them, they will want to eliminate them.
In the wake of the deadly El Paso and Dayton mass shootings, some in the crowded Democratic field have released plans — or voiced support — for allowing gun owners to turn over their weapons to the government and get money in return, Fox News reports.
In a recent television interview, former Vice President Joe Biden called for a “national buyback program” to get firearms “off the street.” Asked by CNN’s Anderson Cooper to respond to criticism he would be taking away people’s guns, Biden responded, “Bingo! You’re right, if you have an assault weapon.”
They define every popular gun as an “assault weapon.” It’s a lie and they know it.
Hard-leftists Julián Castro, New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock support a buyback program.
The federal government must ban assault weapons and implement a buyback program to get assault weapons off the streets.

Assault weapons don’t belong in our communities. Period. As president, I’ll ban these military-style weapons and institute a buyback program that gets as many as possible off our streets. https://t.co/25ie9qBiSC

Interesting: @BetoORourke tells @jonfavs he’s open to an Australia-style mandatory buyback program for guns.
That makes him the most prominent Democratic presidential candidate favoring that idea. pic.twitter.com/Rb0xsSPlav

“Make no mistake, @KamalaHarris wants to disarm law-abiding Americans like you, just as she worked to disarm law-abiding Californians. Do you want California’s gun laws to become the national laws of the land?” –@DLoesch

Would Dem politicians be willing to set an example and do away with their tax payer protection by Secret Service/Capital Police, or their families’ protection by hired security with GUNS?
And would they be willing to send their children to public schools, walking or bussed, when (not if) only CRIMINALS are in possession of guns? (Chicago is a good example.)
Face it. This makes every gun owner potentially bankrupt because of the cost of having to go to court simply to defend yourself (and guns) for a crime never committed. Let Ivanka pay the costs and lost time from work etc.
“We aren’t opposed if they include due process and keep the gun owners’ guns for return if they win their cases.”
If they win their cases? One would have to be a total dufus to not be able to clearly see how the gun hating left will take maximum advantage of these red flag laws – by using them to force gun owners to spend thousands of dollars in legal fees, hiring lawyers who will spend hundreds of billable hours, shuffling papers around, filing unlimited legal documents, flipping through thousands of prior court case records, etc., and dragging out the process required to retrieve the confiscated firearms of the individual who got red flagged.
Make no mistake – these legal fees will, without any doubt – quickly rise to a dollar amount that is far higher than the price the owner paid when he or she legally purchased those firearms. Who would be willing to shell out $10 or $15 or $20 thousand dollars to force the gun thieves to return a firearm collection that is only worth a few thousand bucks?
The objective here by the left will be to force the gun owners who get red flagged into a financial predicament where the vast majority will throw up their hands and concede defeat, rather than helping to make a pack of greedy lawyers filthy rich and bankrupting themselves in the process.
Its the proverbial camel’s nose under the tent. Once the leftists get the “nose”(red flag laws or any infringement on the 2nd Ammendment) into the books, the total confiscation of all arms will be pushed.
Why? Cuz disarming the law-abiding citizens is not the solution, just an excuse for the leftists to continue the erosion of our rights and liberties. Then the Constitution is nullified. Venezuela and Cuba are great examples of what can happen here if the leftists, both sides of the political aisle, are allowed to continued their treasonous campaigns.
Just sayin’.
Hey Ivanka, remember Warsaw? Where Jews held off the Nazis for years with their privately owned weapons? Sounds like you forgot.
Well, he!! Ivanka, let’s have some draconian laws written up to restrict the rest of the amendments. Afterall, the politicians now believe the Constitution is amendable without the people voting for it. How does that work? What happened to We The People? When did the president and the daughter of a president and the legislature become dictators? The Bill of Rights are the ONLY amendments that cannot be amended. I learned that when I was 12 years old.
