Hey, Lance, great to have you with us, my man. How are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Good. You, Rush?<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Good. Thank you.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Just a couple thoughts on the red flag rule and what it\u2019s really about. Most of us out here know, and you pointed out, that it\u2019s about the left and some on the right trying to meddle with our Second, Fourth and 14th Amendment. And when you look at, say, the Boston bombers, Florida, Texas, Ohio, et cetera, when friends, family, coworkers, neighbors were asked why they didn\u2019t get involved and say something when they knew something. They said, well, they were concerned about retaliation threats. They didn\u2019t want to be involved.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-319395\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APPREDFLAG.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APPREDFLAG.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/APPREDFLAG-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Or the big thing was, &#8220;Well, we didn\u2019t think it was really going to be that big of an event or that it would end up like this.&#8221; So we look at the last 10 years &#8212; law enforcement, politicians, public figures, Hollywood &#8212; they\u2019ve been running their television ads demanding if you see something, hear something, that you\u2019re supposed to say something.<\/p>\n<p>So we go to this red flag rule and what it\u2019s really about, undermining and meddling with the Second Amendment, whether it\u2019s the last 10 years or going forward from here, if I had a neighbor, a family member that was going off the deep end, threatening and becoming a concern, do you think that I\u2019d turn on my spouse and say, &#8220;Hey, honey, listen, we really need to call the sheriff today and make this report because, after all, now we\u2019ve got that red flag rule?&#8221; It\u2019s not going to make any difference. The whole idea is that they get their fingers in the pie if they pass anything like this and can &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Exactly right. The red flag rule that is being pushed by the so-called people concerned with guns, it\u2019s not about &#8212; it never is. And the left, any idea they have is never a solution. It just opens the door to new problems. And what they want with this red flag law is to create a tattletale society on everything, not just guns.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, I I had a party and one of the guests, you should have heard what he was saying about Obama. Or you should have heard what he was saying about Elizabeth Warren.&#8221; That\u2019s what they want. And it\u2019s all disguised as a red flag law to get deranged lunatics away from their guns because who could oppose that, you see? Lance, I appreciate the call.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: What they want with this red flag law is to create a tattletale society on everything, not just guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":319395,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
