Washington D.C. –-(Ammoland.com)- Congress is attempting to pass “red flag” gun confiscation orders and other gun control measures in the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (VAWA).
For years the gun measures have held up negotiations on the bill in the Senate, but it seems like Republicans are ready to cave in pass the bill with the gun control measures intact. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Cindy Hyde-Smith (R-Miss.)([with caveats], and Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) said that they see “a path forward” on the bill with the anti-gun provisions in place.
The bill has been one of the centerpieces of President Joe Biden’s anti-gun plan. On the day that Biden announced the David Chipman nomination for Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director, the president pushed Congress to pass the bill. He framed it as a way to protect women from abusers.
“I held over a thousand hours of hearings to pass the Violence Against Women Act… this has been a hobbyhorse of mine for a long time — got it done once,” Biden told the media during the Chipman announcement.
The bill would establish federal grants to fund firearm seizures from Americans. These grants would be given to states to support the stripping of firearms from the State’s citizens. The bill would also create another category of “red flag” laws that would expand gun confiscations to people convicted of just a misdemeanor.
The bill would also increase funding to prosecute National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) denials. The vast majority of denials are false positives. Roughly 95% of denials are false positives. The funding would burden tens of thousands of law-abiding American gun owners that the system falsely flagged as prohibited.
One of the most concerning parts of the bill is that it provides special appointments and deputations to carry out the gun control measures listed in the proposed law. Many gun-rights advocates see these special appointments as a way of building a new anti-gun force that will violate the firearms rights of Americans. They point out that nothing in the bill makes women safer.
There has been some push back on the bill by Senators Josh Hawley or (R-MO), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and John Cornyn (R-TX). None of the pushback from the Senators centers around the built-in gun control measures. The lack of pushback against the anti-gun efforts concerns many gun rights activists who hoped Republicans would reject the gun control in the bill.
During the hearings in the Senate, Democrats were confident that the bill would be passed with the anti-gun measures intact. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) was all smiles at the end of the hearing on VAWA. He believes that the bill will pass with a filibuster-proof majority. With no filibuster in the House of Representatives, the bill cannot be stopped in that chamber of Congress.
“I look forward to introducing the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act [Senate Compromise Bill] with Senators Ernst, and Feinstein, [and] many of our colleagues, quickly,” Durbin said at the end of the hearing. “We want to move on this. We need to get this bill to a president who is ANXIOUS to receive it as well and sign it into authorization.”
Concerned gun owners have time to encourage their Senators to vote against the VAWA, but time is limited. Right now, it looks like the VAWA has the votes to pass in the Senate with the gun control measures intact.

I am shocked, shocked, I tell you, that the degenerates in the Senate will yet again betray their oaths, sell their votes, and screw America over.
Well what do you expect for a seditionist GOP
I’d expect it to generate a dumbass reply from a twinkle-toed communist rump ranger.
Shook to the core that the same a-holes who held the majority in the senate, house, and the white house and never got a damn thing done would do something like this.
I’d only be shocked if they voted against the anti gun bill. The GOP has far too many RINOS, and are basically just the 2nd wing of the same bird the dems are
Two different sides of the same corrupt coin.
and we get closer to the next waco, will people stand up against the government, that will be the test
After Chief Deputy, Captain Dan Weanburg (sp?) of the McLennan County Sheriff’s office contacted the BATFE and got them involved in the affairs of the group at Mt. Carmel, nothing happened to him.
When Weanburg directed Gene Barber, who was a Lieutenant of the McLennan County Sheriff’s Department, to work with the BATFE he did so and nothing happened to him.
“Red state*” rural sheriffs are not what people think.
*Texas was almost a red state at the time.
Will (“TEX”) – 10/7/21:
Texas is a red state now too!
Response to Will (“TEX”):
No, it’s not.
@JSNMGC, If red means conservative and votes for conservatives, then my area in the ROP is very red.
I suppose that it would be fair to say that not ALL of Texas is conservative. There are always a few bugs in the flour.
23 Republican Representatives
13 Democrat Representatives
Some of the Republican Represenatives vote for even more federal gun control.
That’s purple to me.
Will (“TEX”):
“Yeah,to you it’s purple! Another one of your opinions that you always get confused with fact.”
Reply to Will (“TEX”):
Is it your opinion that Texas is “red?”
Will (“TEX”):
“Nope,it’s an easily proven fact that TEXAS is red.”
Reply to Will (“TEX”):
I see.
I provided context for my opinion (see data above).
Could you please ask Sheila Jackson Lee to stop writing federal gun control legislation and also ask the Democrat representatives from Texas (as well as Republican representatives like Carter and McCaul) to not vote for such legislation?
Thank you.
@JSNMGC,
I will get right on that call to Sheila. I have her on speed dial. She only takes my calls because she thinks that my name is Natron ! 😉
Thank you – your call is appreciated too.
A call to the Republilcans Carter and McCaul letting them know you didn’t appreciate their vote for H.R. 1620 would be helpful as well.
I wonder if Cornyn will vote for the bill?
It’s almost certain Republican Senator Cornyn will support the bill considering his history of supporting and writing arms control legislation.
@Stag,
Yes, it is so. Oh, by the way, did you know that Cornyn, is a Latvian word for “rat bastard”! I think that is why his family had to immigrate, here.
Well, the staffer at his Lubbock office didn’t know whether he was going to vote for it or not, but she said she would pass along my request that he not vote for it.
The number is:
806-472-7533
@JSNMGC,
Good intel. I’ll call it!
Thank you.
No one answered his D.C, Houston, or Harlingen numbers.
You said it Stag not me. ALMOST. Don’t forget to call him and tell him to make it so.
Don’t wonder about it. Call him up and tell him not to vote for any Red Flag Laws. AND that goes for the rest of you as well. Give them directions. They aren’t to good at doing it on their own.
I did – right after I wrote that comment. Then I posted what his staffer told me and I included the phone number I called.
It’s all documented three posts above yours.
Did you call? What did the staffer tell you?
“rural TEXAS will keep it RED for 100yrs”. NO SALE. It’s infested with dozens of Vichy Rs like Cornyn, Crenshaw, Abbott & his tag-team pal Speaker Phelan.
e.g. Abbott refused to put child gender change on the special agenda “because it has no chance” (after he & Phelan took big $ from gender change firms).
Their games are well documented on https://texasscorecard.com/
“We’re approaching the point where transcripts from Abbott’s pressers can be used as a border wall. Abbott’s usual border crisis theme: ‘We hope Biden fixes it.’
Asked if he’d close ports of entry (urged by challenger Don Huffines to pressure Mexico) Abbott deflected.
The crisis won’t be fixed by begging Joe Biden. The states must exercise sovereign authority, stop asking permission, get to work.”
Phelan passed ‘vote integrity’ but cut fraud to misdemeanor. Abbott signed hoping no one noticed. But pressured by irate real Rs, he talked tough, put ‘enhanced penalty’ on the agenda for Phelan to block.
@JSNMGC,
Red, purple, or blue, those numbers are a stern warning that we must not sleep, no matter how weary we might be.
Those numbers only tell part of the story.
People like Carter, McCaul, Cornyn, Crenshaw, and others are another part of the story.
@JSNMGC – Thanks for the info. Will call Cornyn as soon as I get out of current meeting. @Wild Bill – My admiration continues to grow. I struggle to just train my dog to not attack other dogs in public. As for cats – maybe I need to stop trying to sweep them away from keyboard, but they distract our parrot and are risk of injury if they piss her off.

Oh, I did not train them. They are training me!
May God bless you for giving a home to some animals that would otherwise have an uncertain fate.
When we have time, I’ll tell you about Harry the not fast enough race horse. He is my script supervisor. He keeps calling me “Wilbur”, whomever that might be.
TX is pink thx to your ilk humping Vichy Rs.
“Abbott’s presser briefs could be used as a border wall. His usual theme: ‘We hope Biden fixes it.’

@wjd,
As for me, I don’t see the “Conservative vs. Libtard” equation as state by state, but rather as city vs. rural. I see it that way due to the voting maps that I have seen. The good news is that rural people have the cities surrounded. We could starve them out whenever we want to.
“rural TEXAS will keep it red 100yrs” –WillTEX
BS. It’s infested with Vichy Rs like Abbott & tag-team pal Phelan, Cornyn-Crenshaw et ilk. It’ll go red if guys like you stop dissembling/praising them. Their games can be seen on https://texasscorecard.com/ e.g.
Abb refused to put child gender change on the special agenda “because it has no chance” (after he & Phe took big $ from gender change firms).
Phe cut vote fraud to a misdemeanor. Abb signed hoping no one noticed. Pressured by irate real Rs, he talked tough, put ‘enhanced’ penalty (restore felony) on the agenda – for Phe to block for him.
Will (“TEX”) – 10/7/21:
As usual you’re still wrong about everything.
Response to Will (“TEX”):
Was I wrong about the McLennan County Sheriff Department contacting the BATFE and initiating their involvement in the Waco atrocity?
You have said I’m wrong about everything before, but you avoid specifics.
I’d say Texas is purple.
@JSNMGC,
Mere hyperbole, brother. Anytime someone speaks in absolutes, then it is probably hyperbole. We meant no reproach.
“We?”
Will (“TEX”) meant reproach.
@JSNMGC,
Sorry, I meant he. My dog Noodles does all my typing. I’m sure that it was a typo. I will have to speak to him about it.
Ahh. Will (“TEX”) lashes out emotionally at comments that don’t fit into his worldview. My original point was that there is a misconception among many that rural sheriffs, especially from “red” states, are on the side of good* firearm owners. They (as a group – I’m sure there are some exceptions) are not. I specifically include Wyoming sheriffs in the group who are not on the side of good* firearm owners – they gave public testimony to the Wyoming State Judiciary Committee (when they sided with Moms Demand Action and Everytown for Gun Safety) that all of them want to… Read more »
@wjd,
You think that is funny … my tom cat is the copy editor. He likes to correct my grammar by walking on the keyboard! He says that my work is perrrfect.
Enemy advantage: “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men should do nothing.”
We’ll see if it passes and then who will enforce it. In New Mexico all but 3 counties are 2nd Amendment sanctuaries and oddly NM is, and has been a Blue state for decades. Here in Arizona, the governor (surprisingly) signed a bill that prevents enforcement of any new Federal anti-gun laws in the state and other states and counties within states are refusing to enforce anti-gun legislation at any level. Pass all the laws you want, but when people refuse to abide by them and officials refuse to enforce them you’re just pissing in the wind.
No we are not. New Texas laws simply say that only feds can enforce new legislation. Existing law will continue enforcing any law the enforced before and will mistakenly enforce new laws. Nobody is going to be stopping federal agents doing whatever the f*** they want. Law was silent as to how our law enforcement will handle redefinitions. ATF would argue that shoelaces are machine guns and pistol braces make SBRs – no legislative changes, so Texas LEO are still free to enforce the newly reinterpreted (pre-existing) law. Not saying I do not approve the new laws, because I do.… Read more »
Also, there is nothing prohibiting Texas state, county, city/town enforcers from contacting federal enforcers (as they have before) and throwing their neighbor to the wolves. The new Texas laws have no provision that removes the not-so-qualified immunity (that TStheDeplorable doesn’t understand) from Texas enforcers who contact federal enforcers. Also, one of the laws Will (“TEX”) is referring to is the Texas suppressor law. At the time the law was up for vote, Will (“TEX”) claimed there would no longer be a federal process for buying a made-in-Texas suppressor in Texas. That was never the intent of the law and now,… Read more »
Will – 10/7/21 “You really enjoy calling police enforcers don’t you? I guess in your pea brain it’s insulting to the police.It’s not.” Reply to Will (“TEX”): Most see themselves as enforcers so I wouldn’t imagine they would be insulted by the term. Most would obey almost any order to enforce any law against certain people, and would obey almost any order to not enforce those same laws against other people. When there is a federal law requring the registration of semiautomatic rifles, state, county, and city/town enforcers will be joining federal task forces and/or contacting federal enforcers to enforce… Read more »
Will (“TEX”) – 10/7/21:
“Yep you fool,they are law “enforcement” officers.”
Reply to Will (“TEX”):
Yes, Will, that is the name for the category.
However, just like the dogs in Animal Farm (and the enforcers used by Mao, Stalin, Hitler, the Kim family, Pol Pot, etc.), they are enforcers for those who want their will imposed on non-government employees.
Most will enforce that will in order to retain their government job. A large percentage will do so enthusiastically because they get off on the power trip.
All totalitarians rely on enforcers.
When there are not enough laws to intimidate the people they want to intimidate, many enforcers will simply fabricate laws and attempt to enforce them:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-JHn8n3FdY&ab_channel=AudittheAudit
There are many hundreds of examples of this type of behavior that have been video recorded and are available on youtube.
and the few good cops get attacked by the bad, remember donna watts florida fhp ??? look it up google it she is one of the very few good cops
@JSNMGC
I remember that case. I remember the cops on AR15.com defending the cops who attacked Watts.
Also, when an ex-LAPD enforcer says only 0.05% of enforcers are bad, it’s clear there is a difference of opinion of what is bad.
The hypocrisy is hysterical – that same guy criticizes the BATFE (who are bad) even though the LAPD (who are even worse) enforces much more draconian gun laws than the BATFE.
Fool says fool. They’re Enforcers, WillTex.
Will (“TEX”),
Enforcers have been enforcing tens of thousands of gun control laws for decades.
Most will continue enforcing gun control laws.
Many will bother people who are following gun control laws.

“Does calling the police enforcers make you feel all warm and fuzzy?”
Reply to Will (“TEX”):
It’s not an insult.
Enforcers enforce what they are told to enforce against those they are instructed to enforce against. Sometimes they enforce laws without being ordered to do so just to ride the power trip. Sometimes they enforce things that aren’t even laws. Why not?
I’d by content if they just left good people alone.
Aren’t you glad there is so much video evidence available?
Will (“TEX”) – 10/7/21: “The police don’t give a hoot in hell what would make you content or not. Keep cherry picking everything with YouTube. You are just a broken record for the last 13.5 months.” Reply to Will (“TEX”): I think you are correct that most enforcers don’t care about the rights of Americans – rights protected by the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 5th amendments. Regarding “cherry picking,” – those hundreds and hundreds of isolated incidents are adding up, aren’t they? What’s really weird is that when there are multiple enforcers present when a “bad apple” does something bad,… Read more »
It’s easy to pick cherries in a cherry orchard. Will (“TEX”) was an average enforcer and just like the average enforcer he would use laws to mess with people he didn’t like. He would use minor traffic violations to stop people he didn’t like and then use all the cheap cop tricks to do his best to escalate the situation and then lie and charge people with trumped-up charges. The people would not be found guilty because they weren’t guilty. However, the process is the punishment and people like Will use that to punish people for not submitting to his… Read more »
No, but it’s true, and it gets genius “individuals” like you & your sock puppets’ panties twisted because you can’t intimidate, abuse, threaten, shoot or draw for ‘contempt of cop’ like you’d do in person if no cams were on, so it’s a win-win!

Yep. The dumb thug then immediately proceeds to prove your case. Low-IQ enforcer behavior doesn’t work so well in writing.

People like Will (“TEX”) don’t think there are many bad apples because he was a bad apple.
Will is still scratching his head, thinking: was that wrong? Was that wrong for me to say that as law enforcement officer I would light someone up for having a difference of opinion?
Come on Will, don’t be shy – what did you mean when you said you wish you had the opportuntity to light me up?
You admitted you would use a minor traffic law as a pretext to retaliate against a “civilian” and further abuse your authority by the use of unlawful violence. Spell out exactly what you would do.

Too bad you can’t turn on a light in your head so you don’t get owned all the time. Or at least be smart enough to know you’re owned. After a life of confusing thug-power with IQ & groveling with respect, you have no mental equivalent of a side arm to control smart people. Sad.
QED. Hahahaha, owned again!
They are forming the thin blue line.
There is no worse crime in their minds than contempt of cop (even when the cop is a “bad apple”).
Hahahaha! The Dim Blue Bulb finally went off in WillTEX’s head, flashing “you’re owned”, so his M.O. kicked in: Delete & RUN AWAY like hyena with false penis, lurk & downvote with hyena pups.
Quoting Will on the internet to save his thuggery for posterity is the equivalent of video recording “bad apples” in real life.
Why does the Dim Blue Light bother deleting & running like a faux-penis hyena? It’s all forgotten soon enough anyway. Does it help him believe his sock pups when they stroke him & tell him he won?
I don’t know. “Bad apples” do all sorts of illogical things in an attempt to destroy, hide, alter, or fabricate evidence.
They commit outrageous acts of abuse of power while they are recording themselves.
It’s beyond comprehension.
“’Bad apples’ do all sorts of illogical things”

He got used to confusing thug-power with IQ. If a situation calls for brains – like online if folks with them don’t show the groveling phony ‘respect’ to ‘authoritah’ he’s used to, if they call BS or cite facts that make him mad – what’s a mentally unarmed ex-enforcer with 8 sock pups to do? He needs backup every time. But his socks have his 85 IQ so all he can do is talk tough, go to poopy-mouth juvenile insults, write “LMFAO!!!”, pretend he’s winning & downvote 8x.

Just as the firearms industry finds work-arounds for poorly written laws, LEO will take advantage of every chink in laws protecting our rights from them. I enjoy how you are able to consider reactions and describe how laws should be written to actually serve their (nominal) purpose. I think many do not appreciate the work required to properly craft laws.
Of course @wjd does not appreciate what you write because as a blue-noser he is unable to pull his nose from their behind long enough to consider that police are not benevolent gods.
People who erroneously write about the protections offered by state laws are reckless.
Texas, Wyoming, Colorado, whatever . . . The Wyoming representative didn’t vote for this law, but she is a big-government statist.

Still no specifics – you just claim I’m wrong about everything.
The laws have no provision to remove the not-so-qualified immunity of enforcers if they contact federal enforcers.
There is still a federal process for buying a made-in-Texas suppressor in Texas. Call any firearm store in Texas that sells suppressors and ask them if you need to go through the federal process – they will say “yes.” You were wrong about that, Will (“TEX”).

The people who will enforce the laws took “oaths” as well – many of them at two different times in their life as armed, non-civilian, government employees.
It’s past time that we elect GOP congress people that have a backbone!
They don’t need a backbone because they know people who view themselves as strong 2nd Amendment supporters will not only vote for them, but defend them when they push for more gun control.
It’s on full display on this board frequently.

Nothing will happen to them and the politicians who are “fighting for your 2nd Amendment rights” will not do one thing to organize an effort to see that those criminals:
You’re right they have already persecuted the messenger.
Thanks for posting the article.
The most likely outcome (based on countless other examples of egregious behaviour by federal, state, county, and city/town law enforcement), is that they will investigate themselves and find no wrongdoing.

Unless and until good people with guns stand up to criminals trying to take away the guns (and all of our other rights) nothing is going to change. This is the way of the world. The scumbags use force to make us comply, and that is the very tactic required of us to resecure our liberty.
