Another elected representative is violating his oath. Rep. Dan Crenshaw has tweeted his support for the unconstitutional red flag laws!
The solutions aren’t obvious, even if we pretend they are. But we must try. Let’s start with the TAPS Act. Maybe also implement state “red flag” laws, or gun violence restraining orders. Stop them before they can hurt someone.https://t.co/2G2pZSWaF1

For those who don’t know the TAPS Act referes to H.R. 838 or the Threat Asssesment, Prevention, and Safety Act sponsored by Texas Republican Brian Babin.
Heres what the taps act does.
• Will standardize and provide a behavioral threat assessment and management process across the Federal
government
• Will provide States the training, resources, and support needed to stand up community-based,
multidisciplinary behavioral threat assessment and management units
• Recognizes that behavioral threat assessment and management processes must become part of the culture
and fabric of contemporary law enforcement
• Urges that this is a matter of national security – if we act now and work together, we can save lives
After a threat is “Identified” we’re guessing they are going to implement these red flag laws to further violate this persons constitutional rights. For those who dont remember red flag laws allow the courts to seize a persons firearms taken from them for a predetermined amount of time. Nothing prevents someone some falsifying a report. and here in lies the problem. While some states have penalties for a false report many do not.
Remember. Red Flag laws already failed once.
Breitbart writes Florida’s red flag law and waiting period for gun purchases failed to stop the horrendous massacre at SunTrust Bank in Sebring, Florida, on Wednesday.
Breitbart News reported that Gov. Rick Scott (R-FL) signed a $400 million gun control package just weeks after the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting. That package included a red flag law, empowering judges to issue firearm confiscation orders for persons believed to be a danger to themselves or others.
CBS News reports that the gun control package also applied waiting periods to long gun purchases. Prior to the Parkland attack waiting periods only applied to handgun purchases in Florida.
The minimum age for long gun purchases was raised to 21 in the gun control package as well, but none of the controls prevented the 21-year-old shooter from attacking the bank. The…
There it is again. Another example that GUN CONTROL DOES NOT WORK! Criminals will always find a way to rob, kill, assault whether they can get a gun or not and as mentioned in an earlier article, they will buy their guns off the streets or steal them. This statement is backed by a study done by the D.O.J.
Again, we are going to hammer this one. Many anti gun politicians are pushing for gun control to take away the responsible gun owners right to self defense. They laws will only enable the criminals who do not turn in their weapons leaving law abiding gun owners vulnerable. It is up to responsible gun owners to register to vote and get out and vote. If you want to see a bill defeated you need to go vote. If you do not vote you are only allowing the anti gun crowd to push unconstitutional laws. They are voting and so should you. We need to push back. Don’t just sit there sharing on Facebook. contact your representatives. Call, write, we don’t care, but make sure your voice is heard!
