Democrat line crossing and the Second Amendment
American Thinker ^ | 12 Nov. 2026 | Mike McDaniel

Posted on 11/13/2026 5:20:46 AM PST by MtnClimber

Smart people know there are lines you just don’t cross.

Now that Democrats have taken control of Congress, they’ve dropped the fiction that there is any such thing as a “moderate” Democrat. Even the “moderates” prior to election day/week/month are now coming out as DSA faithful. Moderates like Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro:

He’s now all in for packing the Supreme Court. He’s also all in for gun control, and so are Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa and Minnesota Governor Amy Klobuchar.

But wait a minute! Aren’t all the democrats, state and federal, supposed to be laser-focused on affordability? On lowering gas, housing, and energy costs? Isn’t that what they ran on, what they promised? Sure, but as Otter said to Flounder in Animal House: “You [screwed] up; you trusted us.” Now that they’ve won, they’ve dropped the pretense; they’re revealing who and what they’ve always been and always intended, and gun control is at the top of their “to do” lists.

Forget for a minute that every single county in Texas miraculously turned blue. Forget every reason to think the midterms were won by massive, nationally coordinated fraud, but by all means, go here later so you won’t forget entirely.

The DSA knows that they don’t have to follow any rules. In fact, they gain power and support when they ignore the constitution. Who’s going to stop them... Republicans?! Ha.

When a DSA meets a 2A patriot they’ll be DOA.

Completely ignoring what happened regarding the 18th Amendment.

As far back as I can remember they’ve been promising to end daylight savings time.

Maybe some patriotic gun owners would have to take a shot (so to speak) at this, but that would mean real civil war, which real patriots would probably not favor.

Once they get the Presidency in a couple years and pack the Supreme Court, the 2nd Amendment is over. The public cannot have guns in the hell hole the left has planned for America.

They didn’t give us our rights, they can’t take them away.
Not to say they won’t try, but this one will not turn out like they think.

Amendments are ratified by the several states, not congress, not the president, not scotus. Amendments can only be overturned by ratification of a new amendment that overturns it. IOW, it ain’t gonna be that easy.

In 1941, after seeing how the Nazis used firearm registration forms to seize privately owned guns in occupied France, The US Congress passed a resolution to NEVER allow registration of firearms in the USA.
The DEMOCRATS have been trying to get guns registered since 1962 when Thomas J. Dodd and Emanual Cellar called for the registration of Handgun ONLY! “Rifles will not be affected!”
Nore: It was Thomas J. Dodd wrote the 1968 gun control act and used the 1938 NAZI WEAPONS ACT as a pattern.
.
1962-Call for Handgun registration ONLY! “Rifles will not be affected”.
1963-Call for registration of All guns and a ban on 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles!
1968-Got a ban on small foreign handguns and 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles.
1971 Call for Ban on small American handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1975 Call for Ban on all handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!”
1981 Actress Lee Grant on ABC’s Good Morning America pokes holes in the air and yells...
“THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1984 They came for the rifles.
1994 Ten year “ban” on “a-s-s-ault rifles”.
2000 Call to ban single shot .50 cal rifles.
Now, in 2025 they are back to the 1964 demands for MORE GUN CONTROL on COMMON 4- shot BOLT ACTION RIFLES.(Charlie Kirk murder)
Rest assured if they get a ban on semi-auto rifles, they will be back for handguns , and more and more.

For the first 1.5 weeks after the midterms, ABC and CBS has reported on Democrat politicians saying they will do oversight (investigation of Trump administration) and affordability proposals. However the evening news programs of ABC and CBS haven’t reported on Texas Democrats wanting to pass gun control laws. How long will ABC and CBS hide Democrat gun control legislation?
