“I thank my friend. I believe that you should one day be Governor of the great State of Tennessee, my friend, in your Carhartt jacket. That would be great. Madam Speaker, our founders were clear. The Second Amendment was designed as the backbone upon which individual rights and liberties could be secured. Efforts by the ruling class in our government are aimed at crippling this Nation and corroding our Republic. It is true, red flag laws sound benign on paper. Flagging dangerous individuals and keeping them from weaponry seems like a cut-and-dry issue; but a cursory glance at the actions of our overreaching Federal Government clearly show that these laws are ripe for Federal abuse of your rights and mine. Make no mistake, red flag laws will be used to flag those who vote for freedom, strip them of their right to self-defense, and empower faceless bureaucrats to dole out or to not dole out the right of self- defense to a downtrodden and oppressed class of citizens. They will be weaponized to demonize and destroy political dissidents in this country. If you vote against the regime, you may be stripped of your rights. If you refuse the medical decisions pushed by POTUS and the regime, you may be stripped of your rights. If you raise your children to adhere to Proverbs and push-ups instead of POTUS, you may be stripped of your rights. To the American people, I say this: It is not a right if you have to ask permission to exercise it.…”
