The Same Democrats Who Cheered the Riots Now Want to Take Our Guns

Rioters for Black Lives Matter and Antifa got released mostly without bail. Those who did face bail had Kamala Harris, no less, out helping them raise the scratch. Americans who resist the left, like Jake Gardner and Ashli Babbitt, can go off and die, like the maladapted primates the Democrats think they are.

These same Democrats now are preparing to gut the Second Amendment, the last restraint our founders put in place should all else fail, and our government turn into the kind of monster it’s becoming before our eyes. Joe “President” Biden has just promised the cash-rich, power-hungry gun control lobby that he will act on its most radical proposals.

The craziest one is HR 127, which “would require expensive psychological evaluations for multiple family members before being able to purchase a gun.” Keep in mind that the right of self-defense is a fundamental, God-given liberty. It stands in our Constitution at the same level as the rights of free speech, free assembly, and the free exercise of religion.

But then we’ve seen what a public health crisis like COVID can do to eviscerate those rights, haven’t we? Gun-grabbers use the same rhetoric about the invented “epidemic” of “gun violence.” Now they wish to make our right of self-defense conditional on some leftist psychiatrist’s opinion.

Remember one thing, if nothing else. Between 1914 and 1990, some 170 million helpless civilians were murdered by their governments around the world — not including casualties of war. The one trait those victims shared? Virtually all of them had been disarmed by governments.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward. - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

Not at all surprising. Liberals have no problems with guns. They have no problem with using them to control and murder. Their only issue with guns is that you can have them too.

Oh, well none of that stuff happened, you see.

The incident at the Capitol gave them the perfect catalyst to say this stuff is exclusive to the right / Republicans.
