POLL: 65% of Gun Owners Say They Won’t Vote for Pres. Trump Over “Red Flags”

The American Firearms Coalition has just released an online poll of more than 20,000 gun owners conducted over the last 18 hours indicating that 65% of gun owners say they will not vote for President Trump if he signs “Red Flag Gun Confiscation” into law. The shocking poll numbers echo what many grassroots gun activists are seeing and hearing across the country.

While this is a good start, I believe Trump, knowing that elections are coming up and knowing how the system is supposed to work, is leaving it up to the STATES (10th Amendment); he has already "set the tone" among the states, while washing his own hands of what he instigated. Along with "red flag", another example: raising the age to 21, which states are doing.

It is imperative to contact your State Legislatures directly and let them know to OPPOSE raising the age and all red-flag "laws", statutes and ordinances.

Yeah, that'll show him.

They'd be right to do that if it ends up being the case.

Not surprised but this kind of damaging attitudes have been shaped over past couple of years. So disappointed in Steve Bannon and Coulter as they were some of the earliest conservatives to criticize MAGA's inner most leadership team just because he fumbled couple of times during Wall money-gov shutdown, DOMA, DACA dealmaking with Pelosi-Schumer.
They set the reckless trend of attacking the most populous POTUS in entire history. Since then it's been an avalanche of folks on the Right "turning on him".

These shifts very dangerous for GOP-Adelson/Zionism wing's 2020 chances.

Another Republican Bows Down to Gun Control

Another Republican is kowtowing to gun control.

Mike Turner, the Congressman for Ohio’s 10th district, released a statement on his website where he advocated for legislation that “prevents the sale of military style weapons to civilians, a magazine limit, and red flag legislation.”

Turner declared that the “carnage these military style weapons are able to produce when available to the wrong people is intolerable.”

He has also jumped on the “red flag” bandwagon which is becoming widespread across the nation.

He stated:

We must pass red flag legislation to quickly identify people who are dangerous and remove their ability to harm others. Too often after mass shootings, we hear there were early warning signs that were ignored.

Turner is part of a growing coalition of Republicans led by Congressman Dan Crenshaw, Senator Lindsey Graham, and now, President Donald Trump, who believe that “red flag” gun confiscation orders will somehow fix this problem.

As the days go by, it seems that a bipartisan form of gun control is coming down the pipe.

This will likely be the toughest battle that gun rights supporters will be facing in recent years.

“Red flag”. A wonderful new scheme that combines loss of due process and the tragedy and abuse of SWATing.

Whats the NRA's position on these red flag laws? I'm guessing their public opinion is that they're against it but in private they actually support it.

It looks like there will be a federal bill to encourage (read: bribe/threaten) the States to pass these laws.

Or staying home.

But if Trump passes Red Flag laws we might as well elect a communist and then kick of the revolution while there are still people who believe in liberty, if the frog is slow boiled much longer it won't have the strength to jump out of the pot.

They claim that they can be done with proper due process, I don't trust them.

People who can't be bothered to spend five minutes voting for liberty won't be risking life and limb for it.

If there's ever a revolution in the US, you almost certainly won't like the outcome.

This isn't about people who never vote, it is about people who regularly vote but won't vote for someone who is boiling the frog slowly instead of turning down the heat.

If there's ever a revolution in the US, you almost certainly won't like the outcome.

That depends on who wins.
We will have a fighting chance in a revolution, we won't have any chance at all if the frog is boiled slowly.

This isn't about people who never vote, it is about people who regularly vote but won't vote for someone who is boiling the frog slowly instead of turning down the heat.

I was referring to the ~99% of the electorate who vote against liberty every election.

That depends on who wins.

We will have a fighting chance in a revolution, we won't have any chance at all if the frog is boiled slowly.

Any crisis we're likely to see will be a fight between illiberal factions (some variant of NAZIs v. bolsheviks).

Libertarians would do well to stand aside in that situation; crack a cold beer, enjoy the show, wait for better days.

[...]

So conversely, the "carnage these military-style weapons are able to produce when available to the wrong "right" (i.e., government-approved) people is intolerable tolerable" ...

We don't need them and they will be forced to choose a side when the shooting starts.

Any crisis we're likely to see will be a fight between illiberal factions (some variant of NAZIs v. bolsheviks).

Nope, Republicans may not be perfect but they aren't NAZIs and they are more liberty oriented and more able to be educated than the leftists.

Libertarians would do well to stand aside in that situation; crack a cold beer, enjoy the show, wait for better days.

That's a recipe for being exterminated if the left wins and for being rejected and not listened to if conservatives win.
