Joy Behar Calls for Deception to Confiscate Guns
AmmoLand ^ | 6 November, 2019 | Dean Weingarten

U.S.A.-(Ammoland.com)- Joy Behar revealed a key piece of the Progressive Project to her listeners on 4 November, 2019. She advised politicians who want to confiscate guns from U.S. citizens to deceive the voters so the politicians could get elected; then confiscate the guns.

To the Left, this is nothing controversial. The whole point of Progressivism is the electorate is too stupid and ignorant to govern themselves. They believe the purpose of an elite is to deceive the governed (through manipulation of the information they receive, and controlling the narrative), so as to allow the elite to keep power and govern as they wish.  The purpose of the media is to be “gatekeepers” of the information flow and to create the desired narratives.

But Behar violated an important Progressive rule: Do not tell the victims of the con they are being conned. From foxnews.com:

Politicians seeking to confiscate guns from Americans shouldn't share their plans with the public beforehand and should seek to maintain an element of surprise, Joy Behar said on “The View” Monday.

Behar was discussing former 2020 presidential hopeful Beto O'Rourke, a Democrat from Texas, and said it was foolish of him to announce his plans for gun confiscation before he was elected. She advised all politicians to go after the country's guns after they've assumed office.

“They should not tell everything they’re going to do. If you're going to take people’s guns away, wait until you get elected — then take the guns away,” she said. “Don’t tell them ahead of time.”

One of the many problems with the Progressive Project is its reliance on false premises. The Progressives put forward the narrative that experts were far better suited to govern the country than politicians selected by voters.

Joy Behar is only saying what has been Lefist policy for decades.

Using deception to pass laws is an intrinsic part of Progressive theory.

The lie is the currency unit of the Left.

They know not one thing else.

No doubt that this will happen in Virginia...they are already talking about it. Stupid Republicans didn’t get any message across there.

Remember, she says she is a comedian, she can say what she wants. But, everything she says should be regarded as nonsense.

As Rush says, if they told the truth they’d never get elected.

Ideas so good our self-proclaimed (but delusional) "betters" have to lie to us in order to implement them.

Sure Joy, treat people like children, that's the way to persuade them. So tell me Joy, just what other plans do you "more equal pigs" have for the rest of us, once you've disarmed us?

The one thing we certainly DON’T need is more deception within our government; had way too much of that several times in the past. If Democrats really wanted to win elections, the way is simple____present a good, honest plan & then live up to it if elected. I believe it’s the same thing our president is trying to do right now. He has a lot to overcome because of all the deceit in some past administrations. Folks like Ms. Behar would do well to sit down, shut up, & learn before advising others.

“Deception to Confiscate Guns”

That’s not how a free society works.
