Night three of the Democratic National Convention focused on a few issues outside of the headline speeches from former President Barack Obama and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris. At the start of the night, gun control was pushed as a way to fix the country's growing violence in its various cities.
"Tonight we’re going to talk about where we are and where we’re going on so many issues important to our future. 90% of Americans support common-sense gun laws because we need to do more to address the epidemic of gun violence. Let’s start there," moderator and actress Kerry Washington said before a video montage was played.
The video featured speeches from survivors of shootings and gun control activists, such as Emma Gonzalez and former Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ):

While encouraging riots and defunding police, they want to disarm you............
Smart democrats or at least those who are pragmatic and look at history understand that infringing the 2nd Amendment is a third rail of politics for them.
It does not play well in fly-over country and while many democrats in those areas are running from it their pledges are hollow.
For the most part, the higher courts have upheld the 2nd Amendment. Even the new and improved 9th Circuit just did.
They push this to their own demise politically.
The other night, Chris Wallace opined it was reasonable to ban automatic assault weapons. Nobody called him on it.
Well no, he’s one of those conservative faux noose hosts.
“At the start of the night, gun control was pushed as a way to fix the country’s growing violence in its various cities.”
So go into inner cities and disarm gangs including MS13, disarm illegal aliens, disarm convicted felons’ illegal guns and disarm antifa and then come talk to me.
In order to control someone you must destroy their defenses. That is exactly what the Dems want and will try to achieve total control if elected......Socialized medicine, gun control and your vote is what they want to gain full control of a population....
Another lesson in "How to Lie with Statistics." Of course, the only "common-sense gun law" they want that ever polls at 90% is "universal background checks," and that support falls apart whenever you actually explain to the respondent what that really means. The same, of course, is true of support for "assault weapon" bans and "large capacity magazine" bans.
Also, they'll conveniently leave out that the very same surveys show an outright majority believe that America would be safer if more citizens carried concealed handguns, something Giffords wants to outlaw.
We need to emphasize broadly-popular policies like expanded concealed carry, including constitutional carry, and continue to educate the public on the truth about "universal background checks," "assault weapons," and "large capacity magazines." We also need to relentlessly point out that one party wants to leave normal citizens disarmed and helpless before the mob.
90% of Americans support common-sense gun laws.
Unmitigated Bullshit.
It is a clear indication of demonic influence. The entire presentation was an effort to erase a Constitutional right of we the people. IF these devils ever gaining the White House in your lifetime, they will go full-out cancellation of the Constitution which makes you and me the true sovereigns of this Republic. And then it is open season on any who resist their tyranny.
Emma Gonzales calls BS on the NRA. George Lopez and Sinead O ‘Connor have an illegitimate kid? WHO KNEW??!
You forgot releasing prisoners from jail.
And not arresting looters.
The Constitution is a throttle on the government by the people!
It doesn’t grant “our” rights!
Those are God given.
Every so called Gun Law is unconstitutional and should be repealed except .. the majority of “The People” have No Idea of what the Constitution stands for!
Neither congress or the SCOTUS has any authority to create law that conflicts with the Constitution!
This is why there are so many willing to cave to a SCOTUS that has no interest in the Constitution itself!
Ignorance.
While releasing violent prisoners... while not arresting looters... and while the worst violence is taking place in the exact cities where gun control is already most prevalent...
Brilliant!!!
If you are going to lie, lie big.
They have been pushing this lie for generations.
It is in Progressive's DNA.
