Anti-gun Senator Elizabeth Warren does not think Americans should have a right to own guns.
She has proposed the elimination of the Second Amendment.
And now gun owners will have to fight to hang on to their rights.
Elizabeth Warren has proposed a gun control bill that goes far beyond what even Democrats have put forward in recent years.
She is shedding the lie that politicians tell their constituents when they say, “we’re not coming for your guns, we just want common sense gun laws!”
Much like Beto O’Rourke said during his short-lived presidential campaign, Elizabeth Warren is most certainly coming for people’s guns.
Bearing Arms says, “Sen. Elizabeth Warren is one of the more left-leaning lawmakers in American politics. She’d probably the most leftward if Bernie Sanders didn’t exist, but he does, so she has to settle for second place.”
That may be true on economics, but when it comes to guns, Warren is arguably even further to the left than Sanders, who represents Vermont, a state where there is a somewhat higher percentage of gun ownership than Massachusetts.
And she is living up to that reputation by introducing one of the most egregious gun control bills in modern history.
According to the Washington Examiner, “In an alarming move, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA) have reintroduced a legislative monster, the Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act, under the guise of public safety. This bill is not a mere regulation; it is a sledgehammer to the Second Amendment , threatening to crush the constitutional rights that have been a cornerstone of American liberty.
“By imposing extensive bans on various firearms and accessories, mandating prolonged waiting periods, and introducing onerous licensing and registration requirements, the bill significantly impedes the fundamental right to bear arms.”
“Additionally, raising the minimum age for firearm purchases to 21 creates an illogical paradox where young adults can serve in the military or law enforcement but are denied the right to own firearms for self-defense or recreational use. The act’s expansion of red flag laws poses a significant threat to individual rights, allowing for gun confiscation without due process. The establishment of a federal gun licensing and registration system, coupled with the bolstered authority and funding of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, mirrors the tactics of an oppressive regime rather than a democratic government, infringing upon the constitutional rights enshrined in the Second Amendment.”
It’s safe to say Warren does not care about the sledgehammer she is taking to the Second Amendment.
But she should care. American freedom has depended on the Second Amendment since the Constitution was written.
European nations with low levels of gun ownership know that if they ever become dictatorships, as many of them have in the past, the U.S. will come in and take action to reverse it.
But if our government ever tries to strip us of our freedom, no outside country is going to come in and save us.
It’s up to “We the People” to protect our gun rights and protect our precious Constitution.
