KEN: We had this horrible shooting, this tragic shooting. This is the second one in the past month. If you\u2019ve been following the mainstream news media and the Democrats, they\u2019re doing everything they can to leverage it, you know, and exploit it.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s so much to exploit for a leftist from a shooting, and it\u2019s heartbreaking. But you know what\u2019s going on, and Rush has always known what\u2019s going on on this issue. So I want you to listen to Rush\u2019s comments here in a moment, and then you could almost plug him right in to the ridiculousness that\u2019s taking place on the left now. Here\u2019s Rush.<\/p>\n

RUSH: This shooter in Dayton? Like a lot of these shooters, people had qualms about the guy. He had been open about his mental illness. Well, not that he had. It was obvious that he was. He had been open about his hates and open about his intentions, and nobody did anything about it.<\/p>\n

\"\"The many so-called red flags of the Dayton shooter were ignored. His police record was expunged. Did you know that? So there was no record of his past bad behavior when he went to buy a gun. Same thing with the Marjory Stoneman Douglas kid. They could not charge, could not do anything that would add to the crime stats or the prison stats.<\/p>\n

So a lot of red flags to me with a red flag law. They\u2019re not only gonna chip away at the Second Amendment but the Fourth and Fifth Amendments as well. You want some real dangerous irony, folks? The Democrat Party has no problem taking away civil rights and guns from people who have not committed any crimes. Yet what do they want to do so?<\/p>\n

They want to give the vote to convicted rapists and felons, mass murderers — and, of course, illegal immigrants. But if you haven\u2019t committed a crime, they have no problem taking away your civil rights. That\u2019s what we\u2019re up against. One thing you gotta realize about left-wing solutions: They\u2019re not solutions. They are the beginnings of new problems. So if there was ever a red flag law passed, it\u2019s not to solve anything.<\/p>\n

It is to move the agenda forward. It\u2019s just an incremental step in getting to where they want to go. And if you can identify somebody as mentally disturbed, whatever the classification is — like they\u2019ve got sleep issues — you go take their gun, under the theory they may shoot up a school. And everybody will applaud you. (clapping) And then it only is gonna be expanded after that.<\/p>\n

Any time you go down this road, you gotta be very careful how you do it. That\u2019s why these red flag laws, I\u2019m telling you: Democrats, this is made to order for them, \u2019cause you gotta look at the long-term objective. What do Democrats want? Your gun or guns. They\u2019ve been unable to do it by attacking the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

But what happens if they can come up with some brilliant plan that will make you voluntarily get rid of your gun — or, worse than that, if they can come up with something that will make you support taking away somebody else\u2019s gun on the basis that their kid is mentally ill and is showing all the signs of a mass shooter. I don\u2019t know. We have to think about this very, very, very carefully.<\/p>\n
