Red Flag in US Defense Budget

Reptile said:

There’s nothing in the article except an assertion that the House version of the bill contains Red Flag language affecting veterans. The rest of the article explains what Red Flag orders can do that undermines Second Amendment rights.

Gunpowdermagazine.com seems to be the only media that finds Red Flag significant. I can't find Red Flag mentioned in reports from other news outlet. Snopes.com and Factchecker.com have nothing about it either, probably too new.

No offense but why bother checking snopes/factchecker with their horrific track record of lying/misinformation?

Go to the source.....the article in the OP listed the bill number so go search it



I spent 2 minutes and stumbled across at least ONE section that included protective order language

Can you quote tge section where you saw it. I just read the entire second link and there was nothing.
The first link would not open past the title page.

The trick to using Snopes and Factchecker is to look through the sources thet used to come to thier conclusion. They get it right a whole lot more than they get it wrong.

The House-passed Gun Confiscation Orders (GCOs) apply to persons subject to the United States Code of Military Justice. But, for them, it would be worse in many ways than the “red flag” GCO programs drafted in state legislatures.

The essentials are the same: a gun owner can be stripped of his or her Second Amendment-protected rights in an ex parte proceeding by an unsubstantiated allegation from a hostile relative who dislikes him or her. Experience shows that the confiscation normally occurs in a surprise raid on the gun owner’s home in the middle of the night.
