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.

It’ll be interesting to see if she’ll use the same blame excuses Hillary used when she loses.

Ha.
“Weapons of war” are exactly what the 2nd Amendment is all about.

Oh, I can just imagine. Lots and lots of lovely new laws, regulations, restrictions, turn-ins, confiscations, prohibitions, taxes, and a few prison sentences just to set an example. Just don't call her a totalitarian. There will be laws against that too.

The woman is terminally stupid. The soldier is the weapon, not his gun. Getting weapons off the street necessitates arresting ANTIFA goons.

Propaganda is a weapon of war and it needs to be removed from our streets, airwaves, internet and anywhere else it exists.

She really doesn’t want to take guns from violent street criminals (they vote democrat). She wants to take guns from US folks who don’t vote democrat.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria.
The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.”

2. The only people that have weapons of war on our streets are Government agents the military and criminals that already do not obey the law!
