The Government is Trying to Pass Law to Strip Gun Rights Away from Certain Military Service Members

More than just the American citizens’ Second Amendment right is at risk under a new red flag gun confiscation order (GCO) headed for a congressional vote in the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act.

The addendum to the military court laws would make possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm illegal for a person subject to a military court protective order.

If a person is subject to an emergency protective order from a military court, they are also exempt from their right to due process. Instead, they are provided notice and an opportunity to be heard only after an order has been issued, and their right to firearms is already revoked.

This would empower military personnel with the ability to confiscate guns and other weapons without a search warrant if a military protective order is in place.

The proposed change does not address the professional need of a military service member to have access to firearms if they are the subject of the protection order.

H.R. 4350 states that “(A) a military court protective order issued on an ex parte basis shall restrain a person from possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm; and (B) a military court protective order issued after the person to be subject to the order has received notice and opportunity to be heard on the order, shall restrain such person from possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm in accordance with section 922 of title 18.”

Though this legislation is for those within the military hierarchy, the activist group Gun Owners of America (GOA) warns that it is a massive violation of constitutional rights for service members.

They also claim that this will set a seriously alarming precedent for how civilian rights will inevitably be violated in the future.

“If Nancy Pelosi gets this into the military code, then it becomes the ‘precedent’ for enforcing gun confiscation against the rest of the population.”

According to GOA, “This language would create a Military Court GCO program—a disgusting violation of the Second, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights of our armed service personnel who offer their lives to defend those same constitutional rights every day.

“These proposed Military Court Gun Confiscation Orders could be ‘issued on an ex parte basis and therefore would ‘restrain a person from possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm’ without constitutional Due Process (SEC. 529’s proposed §1567b(j)(1)(A)).

“In fact, the emergency Military Court GCOs are explicitly exempted from the ‘Protection of Due Process’ provided for in SEC. 529’s proposed §1567b(h)(1).”

GOA further states, “Seizing firearms first and “getting the Due Process later” will never constitute sufficient Due Process, no matter how much anti-gunners may pretend it does.”

Up against this last year, GOA is rallying their following and openly opposing the change until they were successful. They hope to follow suit again this year.

GOA urges everyone to contact their Senators and Representatives and get them to vote no on H.R. 4350. You can read the 13-page addendum beginning on page 290 for yourself, then use GOA’s website to contact your state’s congressmen.
