Soon after news spread of a mass shooting in Maine, communists/globalists demanded more gun control.
Long before the details emerged from this terrible event, they took to social media to spread their political agenda.
This from thepatriotjournal.com.
The Obiden Regime is demanding Congress pass an “assault weapons” ban. State leaders want to issue more “red flag laws,” which give the government the power to take firearms away from someone who did not commit a crime.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pushed back on calls for red flag laws and other gun control laws in the wake of the shooting in Maine this week, saying that he does not believe they are appropriate because they violate a person’s due process rights.
DeSantis issued a rebuke to those calling for more restrictions. He highlighted an issue often overlooked by the gun control lobby. And he is offering his own solution to the crisis.
From Daily Wire:
I think the mental health issue in our country, part of it is we do need more institutionalization, there are some people who are dangerous to society, a lot of them get put back on the streets, it will require more resources, but I think that that’s appropriate.
DeSantis was critical of “red flag laws.” He said that such laws violate the Fifth Amendment’s requirement of due process. In many states, a person could lose their firearms based solely on a complaint.
They are not treated as innocent until proven guilty. The accused/suspected does not have their day in court. Police simply appear at their home and take their property, even if they did not commit a crime.
In many cases, the gunmen who have committed these crimes were known by the police. But despite warning signs, law enforcement did not prevent these individuals from attacking civilians. Critics often point to these details to claim that “red flag laws” do not work.
But can institutionalizing the mentally ill work? DeSantis might not be alone in his sentiment, but it will require changes to federal law to make that happen–as it is illegal to institutionalize someone against their will.
