The RINOs are out in force on the ‘framework’ for new gun laws

 American Thinker

It was news that sent shudders through every person who supports the Second Amendment: Ten Republican senators have signed on to a “framework” that will allegedly improve gun safety in America. You can guess who these RINOs are—it’s the same bunch who will always agree to limit American rights to keep up with their friends on the Democrat side of the aisle. And while there are a couple of good ideas in the framework, the rest of it is either useless, harmful, and/or unconstitutional.

According to a statement from the bipartisan group of senators, they have an agreement in principle for legislation that includes “needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can't purchase weapons....” More specifically, the senators have agreed on the following concepts, which I’ve listed along with my comments:   .....................

Before America went crazy in 2020, around 40,000 people died annually from gunshots (the majority of which were and are suicides). Meanwhile, guns are used defensively between 500,000 and 3 million times a year. To the extent red flag laws run the risk of unconstitutionally interfering with this massive number of defensive uses, they shouldn’t be passed and, if passed, should be stricken.

But what about those RINOs who signed on to that red flag monstrosity? Here’s the list:  ......Multiple names on that list voted yes on the $1.2 trillion “infrastructure bill” that is destroying America’s economy: Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Rob Portman, and Thom Tillis were all on board with that. .....Lindsey Graham, on January 6, urged the Capitol police to shoot people in the Capitol and wants amnesty for illegal aliens. Pat Toomey has been calling for gun control for almost a decade and castigated Trump for commuting Roger Stone’s sentence (handed down as part of the Russia collusion hoax).  John Cornyn has been working for years to try to outlaw private gun sales. Mitt Romney voted to impeach Trump, and he and Susan Collins sided with Democrats against Judy Shelton’s Federal Reserve Board nominee. Bill Cassidy supported the impeachment trial."
