Gun Control

The mainstream media has been accusing the President of authoritarianism almost since his first day in office. But the media and leftist politicians have also pushed an anti-gun agenda radically inconsistent with their belief in Trump as dictator-in-chief.

This extreme gun control bill will make criminals out of law-abiding Americans.

Bump stock owners have appealed last week’s ruling by a federal court that allowed the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms’ new bump stock ban to move forward as scheduled.

Maryland Democratic Party Secretary Robbie Leonard is in hot water for a recent Facebook post.

“There’s a lot of us in this room that have had enough, and it’s time to start riding herd on the rest of these people that want to take your rights away from you,” Republican Rep. Cal Bahr told the crowd.

In an open letter published Monday, CEOs for Dick’s Sporting Goods, Levi Strauss & Co., TOMS and RXR Realty called on Congress to criminalize the private transfer of firearms.

“While our current occupant of the White House tweets about emergency declarations, a real crisis persists in the 39,377 Americans who died from gun violence in 2017.  The federal government — cowering in the presence of NRA lobbyists — has abdicated its role to safeguard Americans by implementing reasonable firearm regulations.  In the absence of federal leadership, cities and states will continue to step up to do more to keep our residents safe,” said Mayor Liccardo.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see that anti-gun politicians care far more about scoring political points than reducing crime. Their support for policies that have no discernable effect on crime rates is proof enough for that. But sometimes they make their motivations more obvious than usual.

U.S. House Representatives introduced over the weekend their take on the new-and-improved “assault weapons” ban, and while the text of the legislation has yet to be released, preening gun-ban proponents like Colorado congresswoman Diana DeGette have outlined the new restrictions on their official government websites.
