Democrats' gun control measures won't do anything to prevent school shootings, but they will likely succeed in restricting the constitutional rights of law-abiding citizens, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., said Thursday on "The Ingraham Angle."
LAURA INGRAHAM: Congressman, which part of tonight's speech did you find most offensive?
REP. THOMAS MASSIE: Basically, all of it. I mean, the red flag laws are doing away with due process in this country.
We had a hearing today that lasted 10 hours, wherein the Democrats in the House are going to put a smorgasbord of things that don't work in front of senators in the Senate and try to get some of the weak-kneed Republicans to bite on that.

That is the plan. They are not concerned about stopping crime. They are concerned about controlling the people. The people do not want to face this fact. They prefer “fighting crime.”

“Democrats’ gun control proposals won’t stop crime, will CRUSH Americans’ rights”
So, it’s a twofer. First, it crushes your rights. Second, since it doesn’t stop crime (and instead will probably increase it) then future rounds of even more rights-crushing can be assured. What’s not to like? ... if you’re a tyrant.
Civilian disarmament, it is the new old thing.

Sadly, the cry in America isn't
"the Redcoats are coming",
it's "the Government is coming".
““Democrats’ gun control proposals won’t stop crime,”
I agree. If someone wants to kill a bunch of people and they can’t get access to a gun, there are other even more horrible ways to do it.
