Ron Paul: Republicans And Democrats Teaming Up For Federal Gun Confiscation Bill

BY Herschel Smith

Free Thought Project:

In an email Tuesday night, former Congressman and presidential candidate Ron Paul released an ominous statement claiming that a source they have in the Senate revealed Democrats are teaming up with Republicans to push through a massive gun control bill.

According to their source, as Paul explained, “Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are teaming up with Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to ram through one of the worst nationwide gun confiscation schemes ever devised.”

The gun confiscation bill, according to Paul, is designed to disarm Americans without any due process. The senators are using the recent tragic shooting in Texas as the impetus behind the law—in spite of the fact that this law would not have prevented the shooting at all.

As the Free Thought Project has previously reported, some states have already begun implementing laws like this one. Using mass shootings as a their ammunition, states have enacted “Red Flag” or “Risk Protection” laws which allow police to confiscate a person’s weapon before they are ever given a chance to defend themselves.

In both of the gun confiscation cases reported by TFTP, neither of the two men were suspected of committing a crime, nor had they committed a crime.

Under the fifth and fourteenth amendments, due process clauses are in place to act as a safeguard from arbitrary denial of life, liberty, or property by the government outside the sanction of law. What’s more, neither of the men were granted their sixth amendment rights to be confronted with the witnesses against them. In both cases, simple orders—under new laws—were issued, arguably arbitrarily, which stripped these two men of their property.

In spite of what officials and the media claim, when a person is stripped of their constitutional rights, albeit temporarily, without being given the chance to make their own case based on what can be entirely arbitrary accusations, this is the removal of due process.

As Ron Paul explains, this removal of due process could soon be a federal law.

I’ll observe several things here.  I’ve found Ron Paul useful and informed at times, and other times not so much.  Let’s assume that he’s well informed this time and go from there.

It doesn’t surprise me at all to see the names Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham.  If he were in better health, we’d see John McCain as well on that list.  These men are controllers, and we all know it.

I’ll also observe that while it’s bothersome and telling about the sorry state of respect for constitutional protections in America, I’m not so impressed by “due process.”  Due process means an activist social planner district attorney takes you on to destroy you and packs the jury with idiots who wear goofy-ass sports jerseys of their favorite criminal and worry about things like their “fantasy football” team.

Due process in America is a bad joke.  The problem is that America is sick unto death, and that doesn’t just mean the politicians.

I’ll close with several predictions.  First, if this does indeed make its way through the system, the NRA will support it and give all of the politicians cover for voting in favor of the bill.  Second, Trump will sign it into law if it crosses his desk.  Third, no court in the land will strike it down as unconstitutional.

We’ll see how well I have predicted, won’t we?

    No crime, no jury, a process but not due process, unknown ‘witnesses’

    It’s all very Nazi and Soviet. It’s only one step away to the pre-crime camps.

    As soon as somebody has their guns taken and stabs five people, then what?

    It’s a fact that just having weapons is a threat as a deterrent. So if just having them is a threat, then what?

    Everything that Hitler, Mao, and Stalin did was legal and what the 100’s of millions they killed did was illegal. Vote your way out of that!

    Now what? Because I’m not going to any camp. Period.

    Fred,

    “Now what? Because I am not going to any camp. Period.”

    Harden your heart Fred. That’s what.

    The domestic enemies will not quit to institute their communism under the color of law. Prepare to tell your loved ones goodbye. Because when the domestic enemies commit their treasons, treachery and crimes against you and yours it will be time to raise the black flag. When that flag hits full staff and Patriots decide to conduct Lexington Green 2 and Concord Bridge 2, their lives and ours will be over as we once knew.

    Buy ammo.

    Verify your zero.

    Practice near and medium target engagement.

    Harden your heart.

    Commit.

    Sometimes, Violence IS the answer.

    Captain – I would agree that Ron Paul’s suspicions are correct, because the One Criminal Party (the party of money) is very likely coming to the realization that Arms in the hands of the People are an Existential Threat to them. The Corruption of Everything, the in-your-face Criminality of the ‘political class’ and the obvious Fact that “some Animals are More Equal than others” is beginning to seep into the minds of an increasing number of People who have for too long, Taken their Rights for Granted (although as you point out, Rights are Inalienable, not ‘granted’) .

    As for the “Constitution” one must be Aware of the FACT that this Legal Concept has been “Suspended” by “Emergency Decrees” for many Decades already; anyone who expects ‘government’ or ‘courts’ to pay attention to It is not only naive, uninformed, and likely (unknowingly) Delusional. Any Expectations that the “System” can be Corrected by political action at this point in Time are simply Stupid.

    We are headed for what in Physics is known as “Critical Mass”, the point where the Nuclear Material goes from a bunch of random Atoms fidgeting about, to a Violent Reaction. I have become ever more certain (from the available material out there on the subject) that the government and its (((owners))) have been and are Studying this very closely, and can see the increasing Resistance to the “Program” is heading for an Explosion that they cannot hope to Control.

    I Believe that We are Living in a Dying Empire, and History shows very consistently that Empires always Fall Apart with significant Violence, because the Controllers of the Empire eventually realize that only Brute Force can keep the Empire ‘together’. No Empire in Decay has Ever had such a Heavily-Armed Populace as Here; No Empire in Decay has been equipped with enough Nuclear Weapons to cause Significant Damage to the Planet, and No Empire has ever been led by such Greedy, Psychopathic, Perverted Criminals.

    As for Strategy regarding the passage of ‘laws’ allowing Gun Confiscations by Writ of one of the King’s Agents, it seems to me that Everyone should Bury/ Hide some Weapons,and leave the Junk ones in plain sight. Also, know the Names and Addresses of the King’s Agents who would Issue such Orders, for “Dynamic Corrective Actions” later.

    I don’t like your predictions one bit, Herschel. I certainly wouldn’t bet against them.

    Herschel,

    The scenario you predicted is certainly within the realm of possibility. I might add that should this bill be defeated, it is only the first volley. Whether this passes or not, there will be another… and another. No one needs a crystal ball to see this never-ending pattern.

    As for me, I am done discussing this with any gun control freak. They can babble all they want, as The Alaskan says, my answer is simply “no”. They have raped the constitution and left her beaten and bleeding out on the streets. So be it.

    ODD….”Oppositional Defiance Disorder has been used as a tool for years to control unruly kids in schools. It is a legal and medical solution to drug Little Johnny in to socially acceptable behavior.
    Now the Progressives are weaponing this medical term to strip away due process, property rights, gun rights, etc.

    Remember, if it only saves one life but yours is not in that equation.
