A relatively unknown Republican Congressmen announced his support for sweeping gun control legislation. And while he joins the ranks of notorious RINOs, like Adam Kinzinger, this is particularly more significant because his Congressional district contains Dayton, Ohio. His call includes a vague assault weapons ban, strict magazine limits, and red flag gun laws. Red flag laws have glaring issues with the 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments, but he goes so far as to call for blue state gun control laws.
Full Statement
“I strongly support the Second Amendment, but we must prevent mentally unstable people from terrorizing our communities with military style weapons. I will support legislation that prevents the sale of military style weapons to civilians, a magazine limit, and red flag legislation. The carnage these military style weapons are able to produce when available to the wrong people is intolerable.
We must pass red flag legislation to quickly identify people who are dangerous and remove their ability to harm others. Too often after mass shootings, we hear there were early warning signs that were ignored.
I believe these are necessary steps forward in protecting our country and a testament to American values, which include protecting human life.
I understand not every shooting can be prevented or stopped from these measures, but I do believe these steps are essential.
This weekend, a shooter wearing body armor opened fire in downtown Dayton with a weapon he had modified to be able to hold 100 rounds of ammunition. Dayton Police ran towards the shooter and neutralized him in less than thirty seconds, saving countless lives. In those few seconds, the shooter was able to murder nine people, injure at least 27, and deeply impact the entire community. If the police had not been present and able to instantly respond, the casualties would have been astronomical.
This tragedy must become a catalyst for a broader national conversation about what we can do to stop these mass shootings. I look forward to continuing this debate with my colleagues in Congress, as well as discussing these measures with the President during his trip to Dayton.”
Time to Primary
The fact that he goes so far to say that these actions won’t work just shows that he is quite literally the definition of a Republican In Name Only. Voting with Democrats to the tune of an abysmal low thirties Liberty Score isn’t enough to warrant a primary, but proposing gun control ought get any Republican replaced.
The American Conservative Movement is seeking to promote Conservative challengers to RINOs in Congress and Mike Turner jumped several places on the triage with his support for gun control.
We are currently forming the American Conservative Movement. If you are interested in learning more, we will be sending out information in a few weeks.
