My belief in the 2n Amendment is simple it gives all American Citizens the exact same right the authors of the Constitution and Bill of Rights meant it to be with no exceptions.
The Bill moving along in Congress without much resistance T.A.P.S. Act. HR 838 with support from both sides will be the nail in the coffin we cannot stop if passed. Why it’s running so far under the radar is beyond me.

TAPS Act Getting GOP Support Where Red Flag, Other Gun Control Bills Don’t
In the rush to do something following recent shootings in El Paso, Dayton and Odessa, many of the usual elected and other suspects dusted off their well-worn playbooks to push their favorite legislative restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms. They’re pushing the usual wish list items like universal background checks, magazine capacity limits, another, assault weapons, ban, and their new favorite, red flag laws.
But one bipartisan proposal is beginning to gain traction, including among GOP members of the House and Senate, where the others haven’t the Threat Assessment, Prevention and Safety Act of 2019, or TAPS (see our earlier post here).
The bill is being sold as giving state and local officials the training and resources to work with law enforcement and mental health professionals to identify individuals who are potential risks for violence.
But the bill’s details are more worrisome than the anodyne description being used by those who are selling it. TAPS would create a new bureaucracy tasked with developing behavioral threat assessments on anyone exhibiting patterns of concerning behavior. And it would enlist social media companies and others to help develop these individual profiles.
What could possibly go wrong?
