Congress Troll is  Pushing Gun Control for U.S. Troops

Breitbart: Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) is putting together legislation to require the U.S. military to adhere to state-level red and yellow flag laws for troops.

A red flag law allows family, friends, and others, to seek a court order to have guns removed from someone they view as a danger to himself or others. A yellow flag law is more narrow, allowing law enforcement to seek the court order for firearm removal.

Collins bill comes in response to the October 25, 2023, Lewiston, Maine, attacks, which were carried out by a member of the U.S. Army Reserve.

The attacker used a sniper rifle which was legally purchased.

Maine has a yellow flag law, but although police were alerted that the Maine shooter could “snap and commit a mass shooting” in September, according to CNN, no yellow flag action was pursued. more

  1. Kudos to clever person who thunk up this Beauty: A sheep sees a wolf kill a sheep. Wolf’s teeth used to kill. The government’s reaction is to force sheep to give up their teeth.

  2. “The photos look like he used an M4 variant. Are there M4’s chambered for .308?”

    That was an LR-308. The new term is AR-308. Waaaay to many variants. Including a fairly new receiver set, I believe designated as the GS2. About an inch and a half shorter than your standard AR 308

    Must be an interesting state where gun stores sell “sniper rifles.” Hollywood aside, pretty sure “sniping” goes back at least to the U.S. Civil War if not the War for Independence (reference British objections to Americans shooting their officers).

  4. I imagine the 2A supporters in Maine aren’t going to get too upset at members of the military complying with the same laws they have too while the gun controllers are going to keep vote for Susy even if she’s a republican. In short, I can see the politics in this move and wish Collins would spend more time with her family and less time chipping away at fundamental rights.

  5. No one worth a damn is joining up. Only low-IQ, lazy types looking for free shit. They’ll run in combat, and worse: become traitors like Bradley Manning. What idiot would follow biden/obama into combat?

  6. Yeah! Let’s make the entire military fall under a law that was never properly employed in the inciting incident and – had it been followed – would likely have spared the lives of numerous people. But sure, it will work NOW! s/ off

    “They should try enforcing the laws already on the books.”

    Perhaps better would be to erase all of the laws that infringe on free, non-criminal citizens’ right to bear arms.
