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.

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

I believe most Americans don't understand that the second amendment is to allow you guns to kill people who would take away your constitutional guarantees of freedom.

Hunting and self defense are secondary fringe benefits.-Tom

If only Pochahontas was as concerned about innocent children being murdered in the womb.

Weapons of war? The only politician who has a clue on the topic are the ones who wore a uniform. These asshole politicians don’t know the difference between a cartridge and a bullet, a magazine and a clip. I defy any politician to tell us the caliber of the Armalite 15 rifle.

It’ll take a Constitutional Amendment,Liawatha. Check Caetano v Massachusetts (SCOTUS) for confirmation.

She is so nasty. I hope that she wins the Democrat nomination. She is as unelectable as the previous nasty woman who won the last Democrat nomination.

Then keep the known criminals in jail instead of releasing them like Democrats want to do.

"Is she crazy looking or what? That woman scares me. She would be right at home running a concentration camp."

Yup.....frighteningly reminiscent of her royal Hillariness. They could almost be twins.

Hey, Liz, I have a simple solution for you! All Democrats want gun control, right? Fine - pass a law against Democrats possessing guns.

If the Democrats obey that law, the gun crime problem basically disappears, because the crime problem is not a Republican problem remotely as much as it is a Democrat one.

If I tried to donate my AR15 to the Army, they Army would reject it because it is FUNCTIONALLY INFERIOR to real weapons of war.
