Red Flag Laws Are a Pipeline to Gun Control

RUSH: Now we got red flag laws. (sigh) Red flag laws. Do you know what a red flag law is? Well, a red flag law is a law which would allow law enforcement to identify a deranged individual before he goes out and shoots. In other words, you could apprehend somebody before they do it if they exhibit red flag-type behavior, like if they’re mentally ill or if they’ve attended a Trump rally, or who knows what it would be.

It is a pipeline to gun control, and the Republicans are signing on to it so fast today, your head can’t spin fast enough to keep up with it because, of course, everybody’s got to try to mollify the media. (sobbing) “Everybody’s gotta try to get the media to quiet down. They’re ripping us to shreds. They’re tearing us apart! Everybody’s gotta do something to stop Twitter. Twitter’s going berserk.” It’s the same cycle repeating. We are reacting, trying to explain the critics, trying to tell them, “No, no, no! We are not who you think we are!”

Byron York had an interesting tweet here. “Some who in past have said violent movies do not inspire mass killers, who have said violent video games do not inspire mass killers, now ascribe enormous powers to President Trump to inspire mass killers.”

So the same people that pooh-pooh the idea that violent movies inspire mass killers, the same people that pooh-pooh violent video games inspiring mass killers, now saying Trump inspires mass killers with his words. How does that work? I’ll tell you what they say. “Come on, Rush, a movie is not president. A video game isn’t president. He’s president of the United States. Of course, his words are gonna impact people.” They’ll have an answer for everything, folks, if you get into it…

You can’t take them on rationally. They are not rational. You can’t take them on. All you can do is point out for everybody else’s consumption the abject hypocrisy and damage these people on the left are causing. It is they causing the damage here. It isn’t us!

BREAK TRANSCRIPT
