Democrats ‘Are Not Trying To Control Guns, They’re Trying To Control You’
By: Martin Walsh
It’s all about control. The democrats and Biden are coming for our guns. Only those of the law abiding. Not the criminals though. They are the democrats shock troops to keep the rest of us in line. The other part of this unconstitutional proposal is that it attempts to target Trump voters in red states and turn Republicans into criminals because we will defy him to his face on this come what may.

Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson opened his show on Thursday night by absolutely torching Joe Biden and his new executive actions on gun control.
After Biden announced new executive plans for nationwide gun control measures, Carlson argued that Democrats “are not trying to control guns, they’re trying to control you.”
Carlson asserted that “almost nothing” in Biden’s speech was true and accused him of intentionally trying to mislead the American public.
“Gun control is not about guns. Gun control is about who controls America,” he said.
“The Biden administration is using the full force of government to disarm peaceful voters who voted for Donald Trump. It is that simple,” he added.
“We often accuse politicians of dishonesty on the show. Let us boil it down. Nothing the Democratic Party advocates for is more dishonest than gun control. Everything is false.
‘Gun control is entirely fraudulent. The Democratic Party claims that guns cause violence. That is a core claim and it is a lie. The places in this country that have the most guns and the loosest controls on those guns also have the least gun violence. That is the bottom line. You can look it up.” Tucker argued.
He continued: “Anyone who tries to restrict to legally-owned firearms is not trying to make America safer. The point is to disarm you, to strip you of your autonomy on your right to self-defense.”
Carlson then really dropped the hammer.
“With a single stroke of a pen, Joe Biden just turned tens of millions of overwhelmingly Republican voters into criminals. Is the starting to make sense now?” he asked.
“Arrest people before they commit crimes? That is a brand-new concept in American law that the Chinese are highly familiar with,” Carlson said.
He also pointed out that Biden’s son Hunter allegedly lied on a background check when buying a gun in 2018.
WATCH:
Speaking in the Rose Garden with Kamala Harris and a slew of anti-gun activists and Democrats, Biden said his measures are meant to “confront not just the gun crisis but what is actually a public health crisis.”
Among his actions, per the White House :
The Justice Department, within 30 days, will issue a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of “ghost guns.”
The Justice Department, within 60 days, will issue a proposed rule to make clear when a device marketed as a stabilizing brace effectively turns a pistol into a short-barreled rifle subject to the requirements of the National Firearms Act.
The Justice Department, within 60 days, will publish model “red flag” legislation for states: Red flag laws allow family members or law enforcement to petition for a court order temporarily barring people in crisis from accessing firearms if they present a danger to themselves or others.
The Administration is investing in evidence-based community violence interventions.
The Justice Department will issue an annual report on firearms trafficking.
Biden will nominate David Chipman to serve as Director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.
Biden also made one disturbing statement proving that he is coming for law-abiding citizens firearms.
“But no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” he claimed, which differs substantially from what legitimate constitutional experts will tell you.
If the right wing ever gains absolute power it will take the guns by any force necessary. The super rich, internationalist, wealth concentrating clique will never permit a 'sea of red hats' of instability to freely roam with weapons of any sort.
Thankfully, many of us gun owners have a world-view that is inclusive.
Have known folk of color that I trusted to watch my back and vice versa.
I do believe in laws that restrict gun ownership for folk with documented "bad wiring".
Pretty sure that the planners of the capital takeover should never own a gun again.
False.
Ya got that right, lol.
Wrong.
But a wide array of lethal weapons — including a firearm — were found on protesters at the Capitol.
The Metropolitan Police Department reported its officers , while trying to clear the Capitol grounds about 7 p.m. on Jan. 6, arrested and charged a 33-year-old Maryland man with the federal offense of carrying a fully loaded 9mm semi-automatic handgun on Capitol grounds. The suspect, Christopher Michael Alberts , also was carrying a second magazine.
Can you provide a link for that ? I linked my post.
From your link:
You seem to have missed posting relevant information from your own source. I'm sure that was an unintentional omission.
Gun control makes Citizens weak and government more powerful, perfect planning for a dictator to take over
The government is not going to take over. But a military-backed dictator could very well take over. Citizens' guns would not stop that.
Instead of only having rocks to throw, I would rather be well armed
Yep. See: Myanmar .
I think Tucker is right to criticize the things he does, but I don't think it's about controlling anybody. It's just that the AR-15 murders are so dramatic, and usually perpetrated by a lunatic so depraved, that it's easy be exceedingly outraged about it. The big problem - the daily murder-via-handgun-epidemic kills one or two people at a time, and is perpetrated in ways that only impact the family or maybe the street where it happened. And it's usually people no one cares about anyway, so we don't need a "national conversation."
Politicians need to be seen "doing something" about a problem. Unfortunately they have little hope of doing anything about the big problem that doesn't involve a lot more intensive police presence in politically sensitive neighborhoods, way more people in jail, and so on. It's a problem that's literally too big for them to solve, especially before the next election. But if you can ban scary rifles, you can claim to have solved the dramatic problem, and then any murders that happen (no matter how they happen) are someone else's fault.
