“Mr. Marks, by mandate of the District of Columbia Precrime Division, I’m placing you under arrest for the future murder of Sarah Marks and Donald Dubin that was to take place today, April 22 at 0800 hours and four minutes.” (Minority Report)
Pre-Crime is unconstitutional, yet Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw supports pre-crime legislation to take guns from people before any crime is committed. Clearly, he is betraying his oath of office as well as the voters who put him in that office.
“What we’re talking about is the ability to confiscate weapons when there’s clear evidence that violence is about to be committed.” [emphasis mine] Dan Crenshaw, R-TX
The reality of Red Flag Laws is that they nullify individual rights, and innocent people lose their 2nd Amendment rights and even their lives.
Yet Crenshaw says that Red Flag Laws aren’t “that controversial” becausethere can be “good ones and there can be bad ones.” Crenshaw doesn’t seem to understand that it’s never good to expand the power of the federal government at the expense of individual liberty. Human error is always possible; therefore, always error on the side of liberty.
John Anderton: Why don’t you cut the cute act, Danny boy, and tell me what it is you’re looking for?
Danny Witwer: Flaws.
John Anderton: There hasn’t been a murder in six years. There’s nothing wrong with this system it is…
Danny Witwer: Perfect I agree, but there’s a flaw. It’s human. (Minority Report, 2002)
