(including Donald Trump), doesn\u2019t give a tinker\u2019s dam about their constitutional liberties, those liberties are going to be G-O-N-E, GONE! And I mean SOON!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s the problem when Republicans control the White House and Congress: The good people of America who would normally resist efforts from Washington to trample their constitutional liberties go dormant\u2014which is where most of them seem to be right now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not since the British Crown sent troops to Lexington and Concord on April 19, 1775, to confiscate the firearms of the colonists has the central government in America attempted to pass laws to confiscate the firearms of innocent Americans\u2014people who have NOT been accused of a crime, charged with a crime or people who have not even threatened to commit a crime.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We are not talking about gun control. We are talking about\u00a0<b><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">GUN CONFISCATION<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And who are the ones leading the charge to confiscate our guns? Donald Trump, Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham\u2014all Republicans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b><a style=\"font-style: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoland.com\/2019\/03\/some-republicans-now-want-gun-confiscation\/#axzz5i0wbi4M9\">This report nails it:<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">It\u2019s been said quite often that Republicans are the \u201cStupid Party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">Well, the party of stupid has struck again, and \u201cExhibit A\u201d is the Republican Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee \u2014 Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">Based on what Graham is doing, one would think he\u2019s planning to forfeit control of the Senate to the Democrats and to lose the White House in 2020. Because he is holding a hearing to promote the nastiest form of Bloomberg-sponsored gun control.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\"><b><strong style=\"font-style: inherit;\">As it turns out, Graham and his new \u201cbest buddy,\u201d anti-gun zealot Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), are scheduling a hearing on Gun Confiscation Orders \u2014 sugar-coated as \u201cred-flag laws\u201d \u2014 on March 26 of this [year].<\/strong><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">Gun Confiscation \u201cred-flag\u201d Orders were drafted and are being promoted nationally by Leftist anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg [<b><a style=\"font-style: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=tnIwC_-AoFk&amp;feature=youtu.be\">and introduced in the U.S. Senate by Republican Florida Senator Marco Rubio<\/a><\/b>].<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; padding-left: 40px;\">They would allow an angry relative or the police to make a telephone call to a judge.

And don\u2019t forget that Trump has appointed\u2014and the GOP Senate has confirmed\u2014one of the most disgusting swamp creatures in the world, William Barr, as America\u2019s attorney general.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">William Barr is one of the biggest proponents of \u201cred flag\u201d gun confiscation laws in the country.\u00a0<b><a style=\"font-style: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?c4774130\/william-barr-red-flag-gun-control-laws\">During his confirmation hearings, Barr told Senator Dianne Feinstein that implementing \u201cred flag\u201d gun confiscation laws is the \u201csingle most important thing I think we can do in the gun control area.\u201d<\/a><\/b>\u00a0This is the man who will enthusiastically oversee and enforce gun confiscation in America. Donald Trump appointed\u2014and the GOP Senate confirmed\u2014a tyrannical monster as America\u2019s attorney general.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On January 31 of this year, I published an open letter to our legislators, judges and lawmen regarding the egregious unconstitutionality of \u201cred flag\u201d gun confiscation laws and the dangerous ramifications that will result should these laws pass nationwide.\u00a0<b><a style=\"font-style: inherit;\" href=\"https:\/\/chuckbaldwinlive.com\/Articles\/tabid\/109\/ID\/3838\/An-Open-Letter-To-Our-Legislators-Judges-And-Lawmen.aspx\">I urge folks to read this open letter.<\/a><\/b>\u00a0And feel free to copy and share the letter with everyone you can as fast as you can.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You and I both know that a \u201cred flag\u201d gun confiscation law would not have a prayer of passing if a Democrat was in the White House, because millions of rank-and-file Republicans, Christians and conservatives would scream their opposition. But with a Republican in the White House and Republicans in charge of the Senate, the vast majority of our good freedom-oriented folks are sound asleep. Even their trusted NRA (which is nothing more than controlled opposition) is backing the passage of these \u201cred flag\u201d gun confiscation laws, thus providing cover for Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio and Donald Trump to push these laws down the throats of the American people and still tell everybody that they are \u201cfor\u201d the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I am telling you, folks, if we do not bombard our U.S. senators with opposition to this proposed national \u201cred flag\u201d gun confiscation bill\u2014and I mean SO LOUDLY that they cannot ignore us\u2014gun confiscation will soon begin in earnest nationwide.
