Warning: How the VA 'Red-Flags' Patriots

Gun-grabbing crisis vultures just can't let the latest mass shootings go to waste. "Red flag" laws are now all the rage in the Beltway as the magic pill to prevent homicidal maniacs from wreaking havoc on the nation. Even President Donald Trump has endorsed the idea of preemptively confiscating people's firearms if they are deemed a "threat."

But if you want to know how this American version of China's social credit system would work in practice, let me remind you of how Veterans Affairs recklessly red-flags "disruptive" citizens without due process, transparency or accountability in the name of "safety." Government bureaucrats routinely deprive our nation's heroes of medical treatment based on arbitrary definitions of who and what constitutes a mental health menace.

I first reported on the VA's secretive database on "disgruntled" and "disruptive" vets five years ago. Under the VA policy on "patient record flags," federal bureaucrats can classify vets as "threats" based on assessments of their "difficult," "annoying" and "noncompliant" behavior. The VA manual says the flags "are used to alert Veterans Health Administration medical staff and employees of patients whose behavior and characteristics may pose a threat either to their safety, the safety of other patients, or compromise the delivery of quality health care."

that's all little Lewis needs to see or read

Lewis will send his Gestapo agents
into your home

WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OR A WARRANT

and take all your guns with verbal threats directed at you

you go to court....spend thousands of dollars in attorney fees

and the paperwork is deemed no merit

your lucky to get your guns back


Lewis kept 2 of my guns

one was a brand new pump action 410

the other a model 240 over and under 410


we do not have due process anymore

and Lewis needs to be investigated by the Federal government.....Bill Barr

Maryland Senator Steve Hershey and RINO Hogan want your guns. They join teams with Jake Day and Manure Bota in talking about more gun laws.

When you have Republicans agreeing to gun confiscation it is over for this country.
