Elizabeth Warren: ‘Take Weapons of War Off Our Street’
Breitbart ^ | 08/24/19 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 10/25/2019 12:32:34 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Democratic presidential candidate and U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) speaks during the 2020 Gun Safety Forum hosted by gun control activist groups Giffords and March for Our Lives at Enclave on October 2, 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Nine Democratic candidates are taking part in the forum to address gun …

During an October 24, 2019, town hall in New Hampshire, Democrat presidential hopeful Elizabeth Warren suggested it is time to “take weapons of war off our street.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) also voiced support for ammunition controls and background checks. She did not mention that the U.S. has had background checks since 1998.

On August 15, 2019, Breitbart News reported Warren’s promise of “executive action in every corner” for gun control, should she be elected.

On October 2, 2019, Breitbart News reported Warren’s push for a federal limit on the number of guns an American can purchase. She admitted that limited gun purchases will not solve gun violence by itself, suggesting it is “not a one and done” issue, but a very broad issue requiring numerous laws, regulations, changes.

On October 15, 2019, Breitbart News reported Warren’s plan to use excise taxes to reduce firearm and ammunition sales. The plan to use excise taxes was published by Medium where readers saw Warren’s belief that the current ten percent excise tax on firearms is too low. She made clear she wants to raise that tax to 30 percent while increasing the tax on ammunition to 50 percent.

This would immediately raise the price of a $500 gun to $650 and would increase the price of a $20 box of ammo to $30. Such taxation could render the Second Amendment cost-prohibitive for the poor.

So I guess that means our cops can no longer have semi-automatic pistols, because that’s exactly the same thing issues to many military personnel during war. And during peace, for that matter.

Hey dummy fake Indian! Weapons of war are people. Your kind doesn’t even want to stop the flood of illegals killing Americans every day so shut your war pipe hole.

No, that would mean taking away the illegally purchased guns, which are also in many cases homemade, modified or stolen, from the young black male population that is busy killing each other. But no politician would ever say that.

Curfews to take people off the streets is the only thing that fits this nitwits terminology. You can have loaded firearms of all sorts up to and including artillery and tanks in the streets and without people, they'll never harm a soul.

So, Liz, are you going to enforce a curfew for humans only allowing them to take policed means of mass transit to and from work but otherwise only permitted in the streets when they request and are sent a police escort to make sure they don't kill someone?

‘Take Weapons of War Off Our Street’

They're not weapons of war, and they're not on the street. They could get stolen or rust if left outside.
