Recipe for Biden Authoritarianism: Disinformation Efforts, Red Flag Laws

Biden signed the most significant gun control measure in decades, a bipartisan compromise that includes a provision to help states put in place red flag laws making it easier for authorities to confiscate weapons from those adjudged as dangerous

  • Despite the Supreme Court's ruling Friday upholding the Second Amendment, we know that the Biden administration will use anything and everything at its disposal to drive its narrative and silence political opponents.
  • That's part of the reason the Department of Homeland Security's short-lived "disinformation" board received such deserved pushback from many Americans.

During a House hearing, Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif. used time during a critical committee hearing to create catchy sound bites for herself.

  • Porter is up for reelection, and has no problem using valuable time during critical committee hearings to create memorable sound bites.

Concerns

  • Since the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right explicitly protected by the Constitution, removing that right from anyone-even temporarily-requires stringent safeguards for due process.
  • The government should meet high burdens of proof to show that a person is a serious risk of danger to himself or others
  • Red flag laws also do a disservice to individuals who are actually a danger to themselves and/or others

Since Day One, the Biden administration has taken unprecedented authoritarian measures on a range of issues

  • Examples include unilateral, unlawful border and immigration policy, COVID-19 lockdown, mask, and vaccine orders, and attempts to weaken the power of the Senate
  • Let's not forget the administration's pride in the fact that Biden has "taken on the NRA" and continually paints gun owners as extremists
  • Now is not the time to be silent when it comes to advocating our constitutionally protected rights. It's time to demand that Congress protect those rights and rein in a government already far too drunk on power
