Senator Marco Rubio Introduces Bill To Suspend Gun Rights of Anyone Who Has Ever Been “Investigated” For Domestic Terrorism

Republican lawmaker Marco Rubio has reintroduced legislation that seeks to suspend the Second Amendment rights of any person who has been investigated for “terrorism” related offenses within 10 years of attempting a gun purchase.

The Senate bill, named the Terror Intelligence Improvement Act, was reentered last week in hopes of exploiting the hysteria surrounding the January 6th Capitol protests. The law intends to violate the civil liberties of American citizens who are not charged or convicted of a crime if somebody is deemed politically dangerous.

If passed, the law will grant the FBI and DNI the authority to draw up lists of US citizens arbitrarily labeled “domestic terrorists” and flag them during background checks. Those placed on the new watch list could be registered based solely on suspicion, even if an investigation fails to find evidence of criminal or “terrorist” wrongdoing. Federal courts that have examined the FBI’s various “terrorist watch lists” uncovered that the Bureau regularly places law-abiding citizens on them because they don’t like who they are or their political views. 

While Rubio’s bill does provide optional redress for those targeted to obtain counsel and fight their designation, it would require individuals not charged or convicted of a crime to have to spend enormous amounts of money and time and gamble on getting a judge that upholds the Constitution just so they can exercise their gun rights.

Marco Rubio Doubles Down on UFOs

What the hell? Doesn’t Senator Marco Rubio know that talking about UFOs will destroy his political career?

Or maybe he knows enough about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena to bet his chance for higher office on its reality.

Calling for investigations, based on a potential national security threat, and defending the policy concisely in a public interview, Rubio has set himself center-stage in the large drama that is playing out these days.

Rubio has set himself center-stage in the large drama that is playing out these days.

He wants to be seen as someone trying to lead us to the truth and keep us safe. He seems sincere when he talks about it.

Remember that Rubio wanted to be President in 2016 and still does. That means he’s thinking about a 2024 run right now.

He’s a smart man. He knows he has to think strategically and that boldness is a virtue. He has almost certainly received a classified briefing by the Office of Naval Intelligence on this issue. He may not know everything but he knows something.

He has bet his political fortune on UAP being the real deal. He’s all in and that just changed the game again.

U.S. Senator says UAPs are flying above military bases posing a national security risk

Here’s the interesting thing for me about all this. And the reason why I think it’s an important topic, okay. And that is we have things flying over our military bases and places where we’re conducting military exercises, and we don’t know what it is, and it isn’t ours. So that’s the legitimate question to ask. I would say that, frankly, that if it’s something outside from outside this planet, that might actually be better than the fact that we’ve seen some technological leap on behalf of the Chinese or the Russians or some other adversary that allows them to conduct this sort of activity. But the bottom line is, there are things flying over your military bases, and you don’t know what they are, because they’re not yours. And they exhibit potentially technologies that you don’t have at your own disposal. That to me is a national security risk and one that we should be looking into. And so that’s the premise I begin with.
