Continuing Gun Voter Betrayals,
Rubio Adds Blacklists to Red Flags

By David Codrea. February 9, 2021

"Senator Marco Rubio introduces bill to suspend gun rights of anyone who has ever been 'investigated' for domestic terrorism," The Unz Review reported Sunday. "The Senate bill, named the Terror Intelligence Improvement Act, was reentered last week in hopes of exploiting the hysteria surrounding the January 6th Capitol protests. The law intends to violate the civil liberties of American citizens who are not charged or convicted of a crime if somebody is deemed politically dangerous."

"Reentered"?

Yes, Rubio tried this before in 2016 as a "kinder, gentler" alternative to a bill being pushed by then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid. No doubt the rationale is if Republicans throw a scrap of flesh to the circling pack of Democrat jackals, it will satisfy them and keep them from pushing through something worse.

Like that works in nature.

You don't give the gun-grabbers an inch because they will take it and then come back for more. They always have and you'd have to be an idiot not to see it. Their end goal has also been clear for anyone willing to admit the truth to the lie about "commonsense gun safety laws" and see them for what they are (and what their early "leaders" have admitted to — incremental steps on the way to total disarmament).

And while Rubio's bill makes noises about "due process," those are just that. It would still remove guns from citizens not only not convicted of any crime, but not charged with any. And who among us has the financial resources to take on the government's virtually limitless reserves in the hopes that the judge won't be a robed Democrat apparatchik, and/or that the Roberts Supreme Court would hear our appeal if he was? .....

"He votes our way 90 percent of the time, the argument goes. Well then make the damn political rating reflect that. We're smart enough to know the difference between a "C" and an "A," and to present things otherwise smacks of cynical deception to maximize fundraising."
