The United States House Of Representatives on Tuesday passed a final version of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that removes all the “red flag law” language that was present in its initial version.
The NDAA passed in the House on Tuesday by a vote of 363 to 70.
“U.S. House just passed a revised version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which notably DOES NOT INCLUDE unconstitutional red flag laws for military personnel.
The bill now awaits action in the U.S. Senate, which is expected in the coming days. Stay tuned.” Wrote The National Rifle Association (NRA) on Twitter
The initial 2022 NDAA legislation that included the red flag law language was applicable to servicemen and women. It contained a provision authorizing military courts to issue orders restraining military personnel from “possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm.” According to Breitbart News.
The provision contained in Section 529 of the 2022 NDAA was titled, “Authority Of Military Judges And Military Magistrates To Issue Military Court Protective Orders.”
The provision would have given military courts the authority to prohibit gun possession via protective orders in two ways: 1. By giving the subject of the order an “opportunity to be heard on the order.” 2. By issuing the order ex parte.
However, Section 529 in the final version of the 2022 NDAA is completely different, dealing with “exemptions and deferments for a possible military draft.” According to a Breitbart report.
