February 12, 2021 By Jordan Davidson. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio reintroduced a bill last week that threatens to prevent innocent people from obtaining guns and strengthen the federal government’s firearm overreach.
This subjective operation and overreach by the federal government, Rubio’s office reassured the public, is warranted given terrorist shootings such as the one at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando and will be audited by the inspector general of the Intelligence Community , who will monitor the federal government’s terrorism screening and watch list additions and removals. The Senate and House Intelligence Committees will also be granted oversight information and recommendations “for improving the system.”
Individuals, the legislation states, do not have to be guilty for the FBI director and the Joint Terrorism Task Force to be alerted when they attempt to purchase or receive a transferred firearm. The U.S. attorney general is also notified and retains the power to stall the process for up to 10 business days and file an emergency petition to halt the gun procedure until a court can rule on it as long as the individual is notified. The transfer or purchase can then be completely shut down and the person arrested if a court finds “probable cause” suggesting the individual was or even may be potentially involved in terrorism.
Rubio unsuccessfully tried to pass this legislation in previous legislative terms dating back to 2016, but the bill ultimately failed to gain traction with his Republican and Democratic colleagues. Despite his professed loyalty to the Republican platform, previously advocating against government overreach, Rubio has shifted his position on gun control numerous times, often receiving backlash from other Republicans.
Gov. Ron DeSantis, whose administration has banned critical race theory officially, promised to fight the feds in a tweet Tuesday also.
U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio joined a chorus of criticism of threats from the federal Department of Justice to crack down on school board protests.
Rubio said he's spoken to Trump "a couple times" since he left office. A source familiar with the former President's thinking said their conversations are friendly and often focus on foreign affairs, an arena where the two found common ground during his term.
Rubio nearly gave up the seat he is now looking to represent for a third time.
