Gavin Newsom Describes 2A as ‘Suicide Pact,’ Pledges to Pursue More Gun Control
Breitbart ^ | 01-24-2023 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 01/24/2023 6:23:20 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) described the Second Amendment as a “suicide pact” in the wake of Saturday’s Monterey Park dance hall attack and made clear he and California lawmakers will continue to work on passing more gun control.

Newsom told CBS News, “The Second Amendment’s becoming a suicide pact, it feels like.”

He then pivoted and said, “What about our kids, when they’re going to school, what more can we do?”

He needs to lead by example. Start by disarming his own security detail.


Comrade! You must understand that knowing he’s surrounded by heavily-armed men makes Leader Newsom violently sick to his stomach. His fervent wish is that it would be possible for him to do what you suggest.

But, alas, because he lives in a nation with an archaic Second Amendment that has no place in the twenty-first century, he must be protected for all of our sakes.

But comrade, rest assured, that Leader Newsom will work tirelessly to repeal the Second Amendment or if that is impossible, appointing Justices to the Supreme Court who will correctly interpret the Second Amendment to assure that only the Government has the right to keep and bear arms. After all, the Government really is the People, isn’t it?

“A gun is basically a metal tube”

I’ve seen references to “semi-automatic handguns” or pistols. Is there any handgun that’s not semi-automatic aside from antiques?

Just shows you how little understanding of freedom he has. In truth, the 2nd Amendment protects a large part of the world from being overrun by absolute tyrants.

“He is building his profile for 2024...”

Yes he is and he will be praying as much as a communist can pray, for some shootings to help him grab guns. Guvnor Hair Gel will be the 2nd Amendment threat for 2024

I wish I could say it’s mutually assured destruction, but we don’t have the stomach for that.

Compressed gas pushing a projectile through a tube.

Choices in source of gas, strength of tube, shape and weight of projectile are variables.

He should surround his house with kind, caring social workers instead of those mean scary security guards with **automatic assault weapons** or whatever stupid name the libs call them. Maybe a few rainbows and unicorns too, so we know he really cares.

You really need to read the highly suppressed 1982 Senate report on the RKBA. I have a paper copy from the US government printing house.

https://guncite.com/journals/senrpt/senrpt.html

“The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.”

19th century cases
16. * Wilson v. State, 33 Ark. 557, at 560, 34 Am. Rep. 52, at 54 (1878).

“If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the (p.17)penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of constitutional privilege.”

17. * Jennings v. State, 5 Tex. Crim. App. 298, at 300-01 (1878).

“We believe that portion of the act which provides that, in case of conviction, the defendant shall forfeit to the county the weapon or weapons so found on or about his person is not within the scope of legislative authority. * * * One of his most sacred rights is that of having arms for his own defence and that of the State. This right is one of the surest safeguards of liberty and self-preservation.”

18. * Andrews v. State, 50 Tenn. 165, 8 Am. Rep. 8, at 17 (1871).

“The passage from Story (Joseph Story: Comments on the Constitution) shows clearly that this right was intended, as we have maintained in this opinion, and was guaranteed to and to be exercised and enjoyed by the citizen as such, and not by him as a soldier, or in defense solely of his political rights.”

19. * Nunn v. State, 1 Ga. (1 Kel.) 243, at 251 (1846).

“’The right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed.’ The right of the whole people, old and young, men, women and boys, and not militia only, to keep and bear arms of every description, and not such merely as are used by the militia, shall not be infringed, curtailed, or broken in upon, in the smallest degree; and all this for the important end to be attained: the rearing up and qualifying a well-regulated militia, so vitally necessary to the security of a free State.”

And the SCOTUS case that led to the Civil War..

Are Negros citizens...Dred Scott
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who are recognized as citizens in any one state of the Union, the right to enter every other state, whenever they pleased.... and it would give them full liberty of speech in public and in private upon all subjects upon which its own citizens might meet; to hold public meetings upon political affairs, and to KEEP AND CARRY ARMS wherever they went.”

I remember back in 1960s when the news media and lib politicians considered the most “evil” firearm to the the 5 or 6 shot .22 or .25 cal “Saturday Night Special” and ranted against them till they got foreign ones banned.

https://firearmslaw.duke.edu/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/SNS.jpg

They then tried to get US made firearms banned if they were $45 in 1970. That would include the 5 shot Charter Arms revolver and the Mark II Ruger.

“What about our kids, when they’re going to school, what more can we do?”

I dunno. Tell them how to sodomize each other and encourage them to become transexuals and make more recreational drugs legal?

Heck will freeze over before the CaliCeaușescu loses his dozens of armed guards.

I think revolvers are not considered semiautos. There are also single-shot handguns like the Thompson Contender and the Remington XP-100, both of which fire rifle cartridges.

“I think revolvers are not considered semiautos. “

Limited usefulness seems to me.

Are those the most accurate for target shooting?

WE have a winner. Nothing but straight up FACT here FRiend.

Fits in right along with Social Security and every other government run pension plan — I put people in jail for running Ponzi Schemes when I was a regulator — but Congress puts on a show then, BOOM! We are al propping up the Ponzi Scheme, whether we want to or not.
