Why Republicans Shouldn’t Cave To Democrats On Guns

Image via wallpaper202.blogspot.com

It’s not only to prevent a Democrat landslide in 2020. It’s because Democrats will settle for nothing less than gun confiscation.

The Federalist

Mark Overstreet

It has been said that Republicans are the “party of stupid” and Democrats the party of something worse. In their reaction to Democrats’ demand for gun control several weeks ago, President Donald Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared ready to prove the comparison about the GOP.

Soon after the multiple-victim murders in Dayton and El Paso—the former by a Democrat and self-described leftist supporter of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the latter allegedly by someone who, for the sake of the environment, theorized “if we can get rid of enough people, then our way of life can be more sustainable”—Trump and McConnell said they were considering two elements of Democrats’ decades-old civilian disarmament agenda: “universal” background checks and a ban on so-called “assault weapons” and ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, including those for handguns.

If Trump and McConnell, encouraged by Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham, who supports susceptible-to-abuse “red flag” gun confiscation laws; Rick Scott, who as governor of Florida signed legislation prohibiting young adults from buying firearms; and Pat Toomey, co-sponsor of a version of “universal” checks, cave to Democrats on guns, they might alienate enough voters to assure that Democrats re-take the White House and Senate, and hold the House of Representatives in the 2020 elections.

However, there are more important reasons Republicans should reject Democrats’ demands on guns.

Congressional Democrat spills the beans, says “gun confiscation” is the ultimate goal

DC Clothesline

Ethan Huff

(Natural News) Shall not infringe. Shall not infringe. Shall not infringe. How many times do the gun-grabbing Democrats in Congress need to hear these three simple words before they get it through their thick skulls that the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, which protects and guarantees Americans’ God-given right to bear arms, is non-negotiable?

Apparently a few more times, as House Democrats are busy scheming up legislation that would make it much more difficult for the people of this country to rightfully buy, sell, and possess firearms. And their ultimate end game, as openly admitted by California Democrat Mike Thompson during a recent press conference, is to eventually confiscate everybody’s guns.

Responding to critics who say that the two Democratic House bills currently being proposed to curtail Americans’ Second Amendment rights would have done nothing to prevent past gun violence tragedies, Rep. Thompson agreed, stating further that the only way to end gun violence is to scrap the Second Amendment entirely.

“As far as anybody who says, ‘Well, this bill wouldn’t have solved this incident,’ the only thing that will solve every one is to do away with guns,” Rep. Thompson is quoted as saying. “So are you telling me that the critics of my bill want to do away with all guns?” he then asked, rhetorically.

It couldn’t be clearer: Leftists are planning to eventually take everybody’s guns by first starting with “reasonable gun control”

Want To Know What The Worst Mass Shooting In America Was? Hint: It Was Carried Out By The U.S. Government

DCWhispers

Nearly 300 dead—most of them women and children. 

It took place on December 29th, 1890. The U.S. government had arrived to confiscate rifles from the Lakota Sioux tribe “for their own safety and protection.” (Sound familiar?) One of the few remaining armed Sioux left, an elderly member of the tribe, refused to give up his weapon, claiming he had lawfully purchased it. A struggle ensued, the gun went off, and a massacre followed. The bodies of hundreds of Sioux were thrown into a mass grave.

This is the true history of gun confiscation in America. Every time it happens, tyranny rules and innocent lives are lost. (see: Chicago) Keep this story in mind the next time a politician or some media figure attempts to shame you into giving up your 2nd Amendment rights.

Arranging American Gun Confiscation

American Thinker

America’s progressive chatter on guns has been shifting noticeably from the abstract language of “control” to the concrete language of “confiscation.” Hillary Clinton is just the latest leading voice to serve notice that the forced disarmament of law-abiding Americans is not the dystopian fantasy of paranoids, but a matter of current policy discussion — and action.

During an October 16 Town Hall in New Hampshire, a voter asked Hillary Clinton about Australia’s national gun “buyback” program — more accurately dubbed “confiscation” — in which large numbers of firearms were outlawed, and owners compelled to surrender them (for financial compensation).  Here is the question:

Recently, Australia managed to get away, or take away tens of thousands, millions, of handguns.  In one year, they were all gone. Can we do that? If we can’t, why can’t we?

And here, after meandering through international gun laws, and citing localized American buyback programs, was the conclusion of Clinton’s response:

I think it would be worth considering doing it on the national level, if that could be arranged.

So when asked, in effect, what would prevent a President Hillary Clinton from initiating a gun confiscation program similar to Australia’s, she expressed sympathy with the idea, barring practical difficulties.

As the NRA’s Chris Cox pointed out in a press release:

This validates what the NRA has said all along. The real goal of gun control supporters is gun confiscation. Hillary Clinton, echoing President Obama’s recent remarks on the same issue, made that very clear.

True, but that is only the obvious half of the issue. Let us focus for a moment not on Clinton’s approval of Australia’s gun confiscation, but on the condition she establishes for adopting similar measures in America: “if that could be arranged.” Hillary has a knack for punctuating her mendacity with words that reveal her audacity.  From “a vast right-wing conspiracy” to “[we’ll] make sure that the person who made that film is arrested and prosecuted” (spoken to the father of a man killed in an attack that she knew had nothing to do with any film) to “What difference, at this point, does it make?” (spoken to escape the web of lies in which she had entangled herself with regard to the Benghazi killings), she repeatedly shows herself to be not merely a remorseless dissembler, but also disturbingly coldblooded towards the human obstacles in her path.

Frightening Gun Grab: Military Vet Sought Treatment For Insomnia, Days Later NY Police Knocking On His Door

Weasel Zippers

The creepy long arm of the government reaching deeply into your private business…

Via The Blaze:

U.S. Navy veteran and retired police officer Donald Montgomery is suing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other officials after his firearms were reportedly confiscated by police after he sought treatment for insomnia.

It all started after Montgomery visited his primary care physician on May 6 and complained about trouble sleeping, the Daily Caller reported. He claimed to have been suffering from insomnia since moving from a different state. Montgomery then returned to the hospital again days later for the same problems, except this time he was diagnosed with “Depression; Insomnia” by hospital staff.

On May 23, Montgomery returned to the hospital yet again with the same symptoms. He reportedly stayed at the hospital for 48 hours voluntarily for treatment.

Merry Christmas From the United Nations: The UN Arms Treaty Took Effect on December 24th

Gun Control and Gun Confiscation Has Preceded Every Instance of Genocide In the 20th Century.

Twentieth century governments committed “democide” (i.e. genocide committed by government) to the tune of murdering 262 million of its own citizens, according to a University of Hawaii study. Just to give perspective on this incredible rate of murder by government, “this democide murdered 6 times more people than died in combat in” all of the wars fought in the 20th century

.  

How quickly we forget the lessons of history. If we ever allow government to subvert the second amendment, we very well could be witnessing a prelude to an American genocide.

There is nothing as dangerous to a totalitarian regime as an educated and well-armed populace. No Child Left Behind and Common Core are taking care of the well-educated variable. While Connecticut is leading the way in stripping Americans of their right defend themselves from a tyrannical government as called for by the Founding Fathers and the Second Amendment, these gun confiscation laws are taking care of the well-armed variable.

Before we strip away our last line of defense from an increasingly totalitarian government, by acquiescing to the United Nations and American advocates for gun control, perhaps we should examine a partial list of the end game resulting from past gun control efforts:

U.N. gun resolution defeated but 46 Senators voted in favor of gun confiscation!

Free Republic

HOORAY a 53-46 vote.

The U.N. Resolution 2117 lists 21 points dealing with firearms control, but perhaps of most interest is point number 11. It: “CALLS FOR MEMBER STATES TO SUPPORT WEAPONS COLLECTION and DISARMAMENT of all UN countries”.

By a 53-46 vote – The U.S. Senate voted against the U.N. resolution. HOORAY.

This is that brief, glorious moment in history when everyone stands around…reloading.

Now, Which 46 Senators Voted to Destroy Us? Well, let their names become known ! See below .. If you vote in one of the states listed with these 46 “legislators” vote against them.

In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. The Statement of Purpose from the Senate Bill reads: “To uphold Second Amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.” The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners in the U.S. and had language that would have implemented an international gun registry, now get this, on all private guns and ammo.

Astonishingly, 46 out of our 100 United States Senators were willing to give away our Constitutional rights to a foreign power.

Here are the 46 senators who voted to give your rights to the U.N. Baldwin (D-WI) Baucus (D-MT) Bennett (D-CO) Blumenthal (D-CT) Boxer (D-CA) Brown (D-OH) Cantwell (D-WA) Cardin (D-MD) Carper (D-DE) Casey (D-PA) Coons (D-DE) Cowan (D-MA) Durbin (D-IL) Feinstein (D-CA) Franken (D-MN) Gillibrand (D-NY) Harkin (D-IA) Hirono (D-HI) Johnson (D-SD) Kaine (D-VA) King (I-ME) Klobuchar (D-MN) Landrieu (D-LA) Leahy (D-VT) Levin (D-MI) McCaskill (D-MO) Menendez (D-NJ) Merkley (D-OR) Mikulski (D-MD) Murphy (D-CT) Murray (D-WA) Nelson (D-FL) Reed (D-RI) Reid (D-NV) Rockefeller (D-WV) Sanders (I-VT) Schatz (D-HI) Schumer (D-NY) Shaheen (D-NH) Stabenow (D-MI) Udall (D-CO) Udall (D-NM) Warner (D-VA) Warren (D-MA) Whitehouse (D-RI) Wyden (D-OR)

What? No Republicans????

Folks: This needs to go viral. These Senators voted to let the UN take OUR guns. They need to lose their next election. We have been betrayed. 46 Senators Voted to Give your 2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights to the U.N.

Please send this to SOMEONE!

What More Can Barack Obama Do to Destroy America before He leaves Office?

Do I need to go on ladies and gentlemen?

Now, some of you might say that I’m “preaching to the choir,” but these things need to be said over and over and over again until we raise such a noise, that it’s heard in heaven!  The thing that boggles my mind is, why has congress allowed this to continue? I was under the impression that there were three branches of the government so that these exact kinds of things don’t happen. Is our House of Representatives so lame, that they can’t put a stop to this? I mean…is there absolutely nothing that can be done to stop this mad man from giving America the coup de grâce before he leaves office? 

Other than a full-scale bloody rebellion, I mean.

I mean “Holy lamb chops Batman,” even some of the Democrats and the mainstream media are finally starting to say something about all of this. So you know things have gotten slightly out of hand!  When Congress tried to cut Obama off at the knees last year and hold-back funding that should have worked. When the president gave orders to all personnel at our national monuments and parks to put-up barricades, that was an “illegal order,” and he should have (at the very least) been given a “warning” by congress to stop. Instead of sticking to their guns, they let Obama turn the blame on them. I mean, how stupid was that? They had him where they wanted him, and they let him slip through their fingers and looked like fools in the process. Congress wonders why they have the lowest approval rating in American history? Why the heck are we paying these idiots a salary? 

Believe it or not folks, we do have the power to put a stop to this madman. All it takes are a few brave prosecuting attorneys across the country to file criminal charges against the president, and you and I can be the plaintiff’s. So while some organizations are waiting to hire Trey Gowdy to get this ball rolling, we can do this ourselves!  

The most obvious charge to be leveled on Barack Obama is violation of his oath of office. We can all agree on that one, right? He has broken that sacred oath by releasing criminal illegal aliens back onto our society, and by doing that he has endangered the lives of American citizens.

He has also given aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States by releasing enemy combatants to once again wage war on the soldiers of the United States. And that’s just for starters.

Rudy Giuliani used RICO charges to put Mob bosses in prison. I think it will also work on Obama and his gang of goons. Put them all in prison, confiscate their wealth and give it back to the taxpayers from whom they stole it.

I hope there are some honest prosecuting attorneys out there who are reading this and are saying to themselves, “Hey this guy’s right!”

All we have to do is contact our local prosecuting attorneys and file a complaint. It might take a few million of us in each state to do this, but it can be done!

If our elected representatives won’t stand up for us, it’s up to ourselves to get the job done. Each state of our union is a sovereign entity, and we don’t have to listen to, or even obey, edicts from a power mad megalomaniac.  It’s time for us to do what congress doesn’t have the guts to do! 

“Voting” isn’t going to solve the problem anymore. We’re way past that, wouldn’t you agree?

While Obama & the Democrats are Seeking Gun Confiscation, State Republicans Are Squashing Gun Owner’s Rights

Freedom Outpost

We have reported extensively on how the Obama administration and the Democrats in Washington, along with Republicans, have been pushing for an ultimate goal, which is gun confiscation.  However, many people are under the impression that just because an elected official or candidate has an “R” behind his name, that person is all for gun owner’s rights.  Nothing could be further from the truth and here’s the evidence.

Showdown: Maryland to Target 110,000 Citizens With Gun Confiscation‏ (Here we go again)

I received an e-mail the other day informing me that Rhode Island now wants your guns (story here) and now we can add Maryland to the list. What part about shall not be infringed don’t they understand? It’s NOT NEGOTIABLE!!!!!!!!!!!    1 Dragon

 

 

Free Republic

The House of Delegates is considering a bill that would link Maryland’s gun registry to its criminal database.

State law requires gun owners to surrender their weapons if they’re convicted of felonies or any violent crimes, but Del. Luiz Simmons, D-Montgomery, said Maryland State Police lack a systematic way of enforcing this. They can’t use their databases to identify gun owners convicted of crimes.

Simmons is chief sponsor of legislation to make that link.

State Police estimate that if they linked the databases, they would find 10 percent of registered gun owners — about 110,000 people — would be disqualified. They estimate a rate of 1 percent each year thereafter.

Under Simmons’ plan, police would run a systematic check at least twice a year.

The Department of Legislative Services believes it would cost about $300,000 to create the database. The department also anticipates a need for seven new full-time troopers to investigate findings from the new database, with a cost of more than $1 million a year for salaries and equipment.

California linked its gun and criminal registries in 2007 and has since sized more than 10,000 guns from people convicted of violent crimes, according to a news release from Simmons’ office. As of last year, the state had identified another 40,000 guns that police needed to track down, the news release states.

There are about1.1 million records in Maryland’s gun registry and more than 3 million in the criminal database, according to the Department of Legislative Services’ report.

Several independent gun advocates submitted written testimony before a Tuesday hearing. They argued against the measure, calling it unnecessary and potentially invasive.

“This smacks of a police state mentality,” said a resident named Ronald Smith.

Simmons was set to testify before the House Judicial Committee Tuesday evening.
