Former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary turned 2020 presidential candidate Julian Castro appears to be taking a play out of Sen. Kamala Harris' (D-CA) gun control playbook. Over the last few months, Harris has made it very clear that if elected president, she would give Congress 100 days to take up "common sense" gun legislation (translation: gun control). If they fail to act, she would use executive action to make her gun control agenda a reality.
During an interview on NBC News, Castro reiterated a similar position.
"If I were president right now I would do two things: first of all, I would maximize our executive authority to do what I can to keep our families safer from gun violence. For instance, we would immediately redefine who is a firearms dealer so that anyone who sells more than five firearms in a year is classified that way and has to conduct universal background checks," Castro said. "We would also push legislation in Congress to get common sense gun safety legislation done. [We would] put as much pressure as possible on swing state Republican senators who are up for re-election in 2020 to get them to go with something that we can compromise on, at least universal background checks. I think we can do more than that in the future."

Exactly.
It already is.
With all the declared DemonRAT candidates speaking like they are running for King or dictator and promising to rule by fiat.
Who could possibly worry about a tyrannical government?
ML/NJ
These same people denigrate Trump for using his Constitutional powers as president to put America first and to serve the people within the confines of the Constitution. The dominant subject these democrat WH hopefuls declare is to go outside of the Constitution thus becoming the tyrants they sware a Constituional oath to defend against. With that kind of message and if one of them beats Trump in 2020, you can take seriously that the democrats cheated once again in order to regain the WH having in mind to take freedom and liberty from the American people thus hoping to start another civil war. Clearly the democrats serve only the globalists and work hard to promote their agenda, thus out of chaos will come order, the New World Order!
You are correct, FRiend. Your last 11 words are on the money. If only more would heed your message.....
So says La Raza.
Just cuz you are paranoid, does not mean people are not after you.
How many tyrannies have there been in world history? As we look at candidates like Hillary, Warren, Bernie, and the rest of the totalitarian left, do we have any reason to believe that cannot happen again? Anyone who is not prepared for this possibility is a fool.
I live for these moments...
If it’s paranoia to believe the US government may become tyrannical, then what does that make the anti-Trump “resistance?”
The IRS Dept of ed, Noaa, et al have *fully* automated wrapons. Why do they need those, if I don’t.
To take yours by force
Who? me???
They are very civilized.
Right, they’ll play Bach as you get off the train and into the “showers”
“Government cant become tyrannical ?”
Ask Wayne Hage, if he were alive about the BLM.
