From now on, the Democrats can NEVER say “we’re not going to take your guns”. With the signs at the March for Lesser Rights Our Lives, the rhetoric from 17 and younger teens (free from Constitutional meaning), the media, and of course, former Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stephens have all made it clear – nothing less than complete disarmament is acceptable. I’ve seen the calls for the taking, the total confiscation, of “Assault Weapons” – even as there are far more lethal long guns in the hands of millions than the AR-15s that give the Socialist Progressives (and the unknown “can’t tell them much” child-students) the DTs and vapor (and they still believe that AR stands for “Assault Rifle”). I’ve also seen groups advocating that ALL semi-automatic firearms, long guns AND handguns, be turned in and banned.
Now comes this from about as high in the Democrat Party as one can get and makes it clear what the Democrat Party truly stands for:
…
Just like the passage of the 17th Amendment (which sheared the responsibility of the Senate to stand for the Various States’ best interested with another move to mere democracy (and away from our Constitutional Republic) by direct election of Senators), this will again shift the balance TOWARDS Government and AWAY from We the People. When the balance of Force moves towards The State, only bad things happen. The Left keeps saying that tyranny can’t happen here – I maintain that it IS happening, ordinance by statute as elected Representatives, Republican and Democrat, pass legislation that continuously lessen the number of choices we can make and increasing the amount of surveillance (visible, “invisible”), we are on the glide path for it, with the water temperature rising by degree by degree.
They’ve dropped the mask – they want this to happen. They know it and now the rest of us do also. RUN on that as a political stance – be my guest. Throw in ALL of the other stuff they want that runs counter to traditional Americanism – like Open Borders!
DO IT, you cowards!
