S. 1237 would give the attorney general, a presidential appointee, the authority to suspend or cancel someone's Second Amendment right, even if that person has never been charged with a crime, the Second Amendment Foundation warned.
Concerns over firearms aside, the bigger picture is that the government wants to be able to remove your rights without cause, without trial, and without oversight. All with nothing more than suspicion.
