***Sign our Urgent Petition Today to STOP Red Flag Gun Confiscation in West Virginia***
The right of due process, enshrined in the Constitution and dating back to the Magna Carta in 1215, is the hallmark of Western Civilization.
The right of the people not to be deprived of their liberty or property without a trial of their peers was one of the leading causes of the American Revolution, and now we must STOP Red Flag Gun Confiscation.
Now that the Federal Government has attached ‘free’ money to States to implement Red Flag Gun Grabs, we must work to stop politicians in Charleston from selling your rights for more Federal Dollars!
From Obamacare to Common Core and then the Rain Tax, politicians line up like little piggies at the trough, begging for more Federal Dollars, no matter if those dollars essentially enslave the people they were elected to represent.
They literally accepted Common Core Dollars and the horrible system it created before the curriculum was even released! So, when politicians tell you they support the 2nd Amendment, and would never pass Red Flag Gun Grabs…you can’t trust them.
This is why it is vital that you sign our Petition to Stop Red Flag Gun Confiscation in West Virginia.
Under “Red Flag” laws, legal firearms can be seized from law-abiding gun owners based on an unsubstantiated accusation from an anti-gun family member, ex-partner, or neighbor.
With no due process or presumption of innocence, they can ask the government to authorize seizure and send a SWAT team to show up at your door at 5 in the morning with ex parte orders to barge in and take your guns.
No notification. No due process.
And these orders have been issued over 1800 times already in many states…and dozens of times already in neighboring Virginia, most in so-called “2nd Amendment Sanctuary” counties!
This is the exact opposite of what liberty, freedom, and the rule of law looks like. In fact, while claiming to attempt to reduce violence, these laws have already caused the death of one Maryland resident, who woke up with armed men beating his door in and responded with his legally owned firearm.
The police shot him to death.
This is nothing less than murder and pure tyranny. The 5th Amendment to the United States Constitution states that ‘no individual shall be deprived of life, liberty or property, without due process of law’. The 6th Amendment goes farther, saying that ‘the accused is to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of a counsel for his defense.’
In April of 1775, brave patriots stood against the red flag of Britain, when, without due process, British Soldiers were sent to confiscate weapons in the sleepy villages of Lexington and Concord.
Captain Parker and the Lexington Minutemen did not face down the most powerful army in the World so that we can sit by and allow politicians and bureaucrats do the same to us today.
So, it is vitally important that you click here to sign our Stop Red Flag Gun Confiscation Petition Today!
At one time West Virginians roared like lions for liberty, and we must do so again, not bleat like sheep for security. For, as Benjamin Franklin said, those who sacrifice liberty for perceived security, will end up with, and deserve, neither.
Will you help us?
Let’s be honest here, just because Republicans control the House of Delegates, the State Senate, and the Governor’s Office, does not mean they will not work to take these ‘free’ Federal Dollars, and then try to hide it as some sort of free money for law enforcement.
And once they sell their souls and take that money, then Red Flag Gun Grabs become law in West Virginia!!
Hundreds of thousands of brave Americans fought and died to create and defend our Constitution and the Republic it created.
We have inherited our freedom and liberty from those who gave everything they had, and everything they ever would have, so that we can live free.
West Virginians must, with steadfast resolve, oppose any politician, of any political party, who attempts to tear our liberty away, or the sacrifices of our forefathers were in vain.
President Ronald Reagan once said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
The Constitution is just a piece of paper, unless we, the voters, hold all elected officials accountable to it.
The Red Flag of Tyranny is waving, and we, the ones entrusted with the defense of our natural, constitutionally protected rights, must rip it down.
Stop Unconstitutional Gun Confiscation Petition
We the undersigned demand that you oppose, in any form or fashion, Red Flag Gun Confiscation and refuse to accept any Federal Money tied to the Safer Communities Act.
The legislation includes incentives for states to pass so-called red flag laws that allow groups to petition courts to remove weapons from law-abiding citizens without due process or their day in court!
This unconstitutional gun grab not only violates the 2nd Amendment, but also the 4th, 5th and 6th Amendment in the Bill of Rights.
Since 1215, western law has required Due Process before anyone has their life, liberty or property taken.
We pledge to hold every politician in West Virginia accountable if they support Red Flag Gun Confiscation or accept Federal Dollars tied to adopt these unconstitutional acts.
