Of the 21 (states) that have passed red flag laws, I challenge the others to come on over," the vice president said. "We got some resources for you to help you implement the work that you have done that has been the work of a leader on this tragic issue...
Not everyone who was directly impacted by the Parkland tragedy agrees with the vice president. Ryan Petty, whose 14-year-old daughter, Alaina, was murdered in the tragedy, had some choice words for Harris.
"Stop using my daughter as a photo op!" Petty posted on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter. He told Fox News the vice president's visit was a "slap in the face" to parents who have worked to find solutions to schools that do not include "infringement on Second Amendment rights."
"The vice president and the White House's Office of Gun Violence Prevention made it very clear to families early on that nothing short of new 'gun control' was going to satisfy them in protecting our nation's schools," said Petty, who now sits on the Florida State Board of Education. "There are so many ways that we can protect our kids and our teachers at school that don't require the infringement on the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding gun owners around the country. But the vice president and the Office of Gun Violence Prevention don't want to hear any of those solutions. What they want to do is create an opportunity for the vice president to spout 'gun control' talking points at a site that, quite frankly, is hallowed ground at this point."
If you bought a bible, you're on a government list as a potential extremist. If you bought a gun, you're on the same list. If you use patriotic imagery or quote the founders, you're on the list.
Basically, everybody who believes in the values our nation was founded on is being setup to be labeled an 'extremist' by our government.
Now, they want to give themselves the ability to use that designation as justification for smashing down your door and taking your guns. If you survive the experience, that is, and if you don't, well that's because you were an extremist who attacked the government.
"Red Flag law": A law imposed on people who have broken no law nor done anyone any harm. But they have worried somebody else in some way, and the big-govt pushers think that's enough to restrict their gun rights. Never mind that the 2nd amendment forbids ALL governments in the US to restrict ANYONE'S gun rights, for any reason.
What is it with the Dems that seek to block the Second Amendment Rights from law abiding citizens that have not done anything yet they downplay, ignore and go easy on the real threats of violent criminals that use guns in their crimes?
How many times have we seen some Thug with a rap sheet a mile long including violent crimes and illegal gun charges, get a slap on the wrist and let back out into society to eventually murder someone? I'd say that a criminal that uses a gun in his crimes is a HUGE Red Flag so why isn't he locked up for a long time?
On the flip side I do believe in Red Flag laws. All too often, in the wake of a mass shooting the evidence is gathered and it all adds up to the fact that the shooter was a deranged person that should have never been allowed near a gun or any other potentially deadly weapon. The warning signs were ignored, mental health help was not given, the weapons not removed until it was too late. Red Flag laws come down to, if you see something say something.
The Left has A LOT of work to do in cleaning up the streets of violent criminals and making this country safer for all before they even mention disarming law abiding citizens.
