Democrats go gun crazy
American Thinker ^ | 15 Mar, 2026 | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 03/15/2026 6:25:12 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Abigail Spanberger ran for governor of Virginia as a sane, middle-of-the-road Democrat, but once elected immediately went communist crazy. Among her rapidly developing acts of comradely solidarity is an “assault weapon” and magazine capacity ban.

There is, of course, no such thing in firearm nomenclature as an “assault weapon.” There are military assault rifles, which fire intermediate cartridges and have select fire—automatic—capability, but such rifles are essentially banned by federal law. What Spanberger is targeting is America’s most popular rifle, the semiautomatic AR-15 and anything like it. The bill also bans magazines of greater than 15 round capacity, which encompasses many standard magazines.

The law is, on its face, blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court’s Heller and Bruen decisions make clear bans on firearms in common use are unconstitutional. There is every reason to believe arbitrary bans on magazine capacity are also constitutionally out of bounds.

But virtually no other blue state exceeds Minnesota where legislative craziness, and rampant fraud, is concerned. In Bananas, Woody Allen’s Latin American dictator seized power and immediately went crazy. In a classic scene, he ordered the people to change their underwear every half hour and wear it on the outside “so we can check.”

Where guns are concerned, Minnesota is easily as deranged, as George Washington Law Professor Jonathan Turley reports:

No wonder that democRATs seem to love genocidal dictators.

If we had a decent Supreme Court, they would issue a sweeping ruling declaring that no infringements would be allowed.

Perhaps Minnesota would have the presidents of local HOAs be the ones to conduct the weekly home inspections for firearms, and also ticket any other violations that they see while doing so.

This shouldn’t surprise anyone with more than 1,000 live brain cells. The Democrats always promise to tackle the problems people are facing every day when they are running for offices and then revert to their standard quest for total control of our Republic when elected ... e.g” Mamdani or Spanberger.

Just like "Saturday night special," a term used only by anti-gun activists.

If we had a decent Supreme Court, they would issue a sweeping ruling declaring that no infringements would be allowed.


The court ruled, in Bruen, that the only infringements allowed are those that were considered acceptable, in law, when the Bill of Rights was ratified. There were a few. “Dangerous and unusual” weapons carried to “terrify the public” were banned in some places, enough to qualify.

Regulating the storage of large amounts of gunpowder.

Prohibiting the carry of weapons into legislative sessions, Courts, and polling places when they were being used, and when the government was providing security.

That is how it is looking to shape up at present.

To ban “infringements” you have to define what “infringements” are. That is what is going on in the courts now.

Why does the CIA hate Americans and liberty so much?

Spanberger is a total hypocrite like so many of her fellow Democrats - campaign on the Right, govern on the Left.

People still don’t see through this constantly used tactic and then wonder “what happened?”

What is needed is to make “stop and frisk” Constitutionally approved and if a weapon is found proof of ownership required.

Unfortunately, our 2nd Amendment army conflates regulation of any kind with a police state and so both sides oppose. But if the drug boys could not go to a club without losing their valuable firearms, they would leave them at home and when they get disrespected they would have to wait a bit to start shooting.
