Contact your Senators about this bill heading to the Senate. I need to call Mike Lee. Sell out Mitt Romney likely won't listen to me. At least we have one good Senator.

Hopefully, what we DO have in our military is DUE PROCESSES! ...something which this <cough> "red flag" horseshift ignores.So we don't have anybody in our military that suffers from mental episodes? We don't have any in our military with criminal intend?
We don't have any in our military that rape and murder?
That's right, all stockades and military prisons are empty.
I think most Republicans signed the bill without reading it. Probably the red flag gun confiscation is buried in about 500 pages or more of this bill.I'm not surprised that many Republicans went all in on this bill. For the last couple decades, its been pretty clear the "party differences" are just on paper and in sound bites, but they're the same stinking, festering, corrupt people.
That would be nicePlease show me the Red Flag part of the bill.
I see a domestic violence protection order section, which reads pretty much like any state's similar law. Where, when the protection order is granted, firearm restriction may be part of the order.
I don't see anything wrong with thatThe actual text is not yet available, but the committe report's wording on the applicable section is as follows"
"Section 542--Authority of Military Judges and Military Magistrates to
Issue Military Court Protective Orders
This section would authorize military magistrates and military judges to issue Military Court Protective Orders for the purpose of protecting a victim of an alleged sex or domestic violence offense, or a family member or associate of the victim, from a person subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice."
The OMB report states the administration's objection to this section because protective order mechanisms already exist through the local civilian court systems, and commanders already have authority to issue protective orders. The OMB report further states that this section would excessively burden the military court system, a system which is already heavily stretched.
Command decisions on charges and accusations have a huge history of abuse and neglect. JAG should be used this bill seems to help. Maybe??Sure....there isn't anything wrong with letting a pissed off ex report you to three different agencies in an attempt to screw up your life, and you having to prove innocence in direct contravention of the way the Constitution is written regarding innocence until proven guilty.
Nothing wrong with that at all.
The system was already in place for two separate systems to do just that. A third is just stupid.
I don't see anything wrong with that
You're right. We don't know enough about it, and commanders have a history of dropping the ball. I will not get into specifics, but have seen the results on multiple occasions in the past.Command decisions on charges and accusations have a huge history of abuse and neglect. JAG should be used this bill seems to help. Maybe??
You or I don't have enough info on what the bill actually says.
Base housing.They're not allowed to carry on-base now why would they need to be exempt from red flag laws off-base?
They're not exempt from Red Flag laws on post. Many places have concurrent jurisdiction with the state government on several matters. It's why being on post wouldn't protect someone from a locally-issued protective order.They're not allowed to carry on-base now why would they need to be exempt from red flag laws off-base?
