Dem Congressman Warns America: We Will Stop at Nothing Until We Confiscate Your Guns

Congressman Mondaire Jones (D-NY) warned law-abiding gun owners that Democrats will do everything in their power to ensure AR-15s and similar types of firearms are confiscated during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Thursday.

The hearing was to consider H.R. 7910, the "Protecting Our Kids Act," which would raise the legal age to purchase "certain semiautomatic centerfire rifles or semiautomatic centerfire shotguns" from 18 to 21 with "exceptions." The bill will also "modernize the prohibition on untraceable firearms [and] encourage the safe storage of firearms."

Jones said Congress will pass gun control legislation and nothing, not the fillibuster in the Senate or the Supreme Court, will stop them.

"Enough is enough. Enough of you telling us that school shootings are effective life when every other country like ours has virtually ended. Enough of you blaming mental illness then defunding mental health care in this country. Enough of your thoughts and prayers. Enough. Enough. You will not stop us from advancing the 'Protecting Our Kids' Act today," Jones said. "You will not stop us from passing it in the House next week and you will not stop us. If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. If the Supreme Court objects, we will expand it. We will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out of circulation in our communities."

I find this honesty very refreshing. One never heard Dems say such things explicitly in the past, particularly so close to an election, so this is encouraging.

Congressman:

Pass confiscation and we will not engage those you send to enact the confiscation...we are coming for every member that voted for it.

Reading the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and signing an agreement that violating either while in office would cost them their life should be mandatory for every politician and bureaucrat before being sworn in.

Gun bans have been their goals since 1962.

Starting in 1962 with the demand of Dems Thomas J. Dodd and Emanuel Celler...
1962 We ONLY want to register handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1964, We ONLY want to register ALL firearms, not ban them.
1968 We ONLY want to register all guns, and ban the import of foreign Saturday Night Specials, and 5-shot bolt action army surplus rifles! (they got the ban).

1970, We ONLY want to ban small American handguns. Rifles will not be affected!
1976 We ONLY want to ban ALL handguns! Rifles will not be affected!

1981, Actress Lee Grant on Good Morning America screams and pokes holes in the air with her finger...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”

1984, They came for the rifles.
Gun owners know they are always up against a stacked deck.

You can’t fully control a population with guns.

“All political power comes from the barrel of a gun. The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party.”

-Mao Zedong

You can add starve them as newborns—the mother’s milk is inedible because it’s full of solid lipid nanoparticles and coronavirus spike proteins. So they need formula which is not available.

We will not rest until we have taken weapons of war out of circulation in our communities.”

By promising to do so by wiping your ass with the constitution you guarantee war. You are forgetting one small detail: you have to at some point round up the guns. That ain’t gonna go well for whomever you send…and then YOU.

I am so glad that the Demos have allowed their mask to fall away so that all can see the monsters they truly are. I’m sorry, however, that it’s already cost 1 million fellow Americans their lives in the form of unnecessary COVID-related deaths.
