Gun Owners of America Applies for a Red Flag Order for Senator Charles Schumer

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/gu...arles-schumer/

Gun Owners of America have sent a letter and “red flag” order application to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo requesting a Temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order for the Senator.

It should be interesting to see if a judge will simply dismiss this as unfounded, ruling that Schumer’s public statement was mere political hyperbole. Even after the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court has called Schumer’s statement was “threatening” and “dangerous.”

While I detest Schumer and what he said, I think it’s a bit immature and short sighted for GOA to use red flag when they are staunch opponents of such laws.

I don't. Demonstrate exactly why the law is a bad idea to the people who support it most. This is exactly the kind of thing the GOA should be doing, especially if they want to be the big guy in the room when it comes to gun rights.

Really? Are you really that obtuse? Pull out the Webster’s and look up sarcasm and hypocrisy.

I think this is great.

Well said, this is a very good move.

What is the point though? Shumer has a security detail that are armed so he might not even own a gun, I don't see what lesson they are teaching here.

They need a taste of their own medicine since it is supposedly good for the rest of us. I have no issue with GOA doing this.

When are some people going to realize that the "Moral High Road" leads to failure? It displays some sort of reluctance to turn the tables, which the other side interprets as weakness.

1, he probably does
2, have him go through all the BS.
3, make sure he doesnt have any other means or plans of harming judges... its the law.

Are you saying you think he should be above the law? Beyond the law?

2) What BS? If he doesn't own guns then he goes through nothing. Meaning they can't take away what he doesn't have, so he wouldn't go to court to fight for what he doesn't have.
3) ok that is reasonable, but do the red flag laws do that?
My understanding is they take away your weapons, then if you want them back you have to go to court. I must be missing a step.
