Democrats Come Out-of-the-Gun-Closet  by Tom Reynolds

For years, it’s been fairly obvious that the leadership of the Democrat Party had the ultimate goal of either repealing or neutering the 2nd Amendment.  But few have ever come out and directly said that.  Now, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), who seem to have taken over the Democrat Party, are more open and up front about it.  They have proposed a constitutional amendment*.

Section 1. The second article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

Section 2. The manufacturing, transportation or importation in or into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of pump-action, semi-automatic or automatic firearms is hereby prohibited.

Section 3. This article shall be inoperative unless it shall have been ratified as an amendment to the Constitution by conventions in the several States, as provided in the Constitution, within ten years from the date of the submission hereof to the States by the Congress.

DSA declared, “The Second Amendment is a Threat to us All” and then ‘generously’ dictated what would be acceptable: “…you can have a gun, provided it is manually loaded. That means one bullet loaded in the gun, by hand, at a time. We think the compromise should satisfy amateur and hobbyist gun-owning constituencies. (Oh really!)  Hunters, sport-shooters and private individuals will still retain their right to access enough firepower to pursue their hobbies or to protect themselves.  (“Protect themselves?”  What happens if two people break into my house?  Or if the criminal breaks the law by having a weapon with more than one bullet in it?)

National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) documents: “[I]n 2018, the DSA explicitly called for the repeal of the Second Amendment, stating… the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to remove guns from society.”  (What is really being said is that it will: …dramatically reduce acts of violence by legal gun owners.  Unfortunately, they can’t make the same statement about illegal gun owners who, by an amazing coincidence, commit most of the violence.)

DSA has had several successful candidates in Democrat primaries and such illustrious Democrat leaders as Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are turning themselves into pretzels trying not to explain where they stand on DSA efforts.

And before you brush DSA off as just a passing fancy, remember that A O-C got her start by winning a primary-  and she is still with us.  And now, some polls have her as the leading Democrat presidential candidate in 2028.  (You probably thought the Democrats could not have had a less qualified candidate than Kamala Harris, but the Democrats said: “Hold my beer...”)
