Some Democrats arent even trying to hide it any more. They want the 2nd amendment gone.

It’s Not Just Virginia: Gun Confiscation Becoming Increasingly Popular on the Left

Every debate over gun control for at least the past decade seems to follow roughly the same script, with liberals promoting that they advertise as merely “common sense” gun control measures.
Like with every policy the left proposes, their use of language is vague enough to both sound reasonable while obscuring the truth of what they’re really after. And the talking points help with that too. Among the “common sense” measures floated usually include universal background checks (which we already have), banning high-capacity magazines, banning bump stocks, banning so-called “assault weapons” (but grandfathering in current owners) and raising the age required to purchase a gun to 21, among other measures. Compared to outright confiscation, those measures look hardly look radical, hence why the choices are framed as such. Former President Barack Obama told an audience of police officers in 2016 “Please do not believe this notion that somehow I’m out to take everybody’s guns away… Nobody is doing that. We’re talking about common sense measures to make sure criminals don’t get them.”

That’s how gun control proponents phrase what they want – but it’s not really all they want. In recent years the there have been some slip-ups in the messaging when certain gun control proponents made the mistake of being honest. As one of the Parkland activists put it at the March for Our Lives, “When they give us that inch, that bump stock ban, we will take a mile. We are not here for bread crumbs. We are here for real change.” Failed presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said at one of the Democratic debates, “hell yes w’re going to take you AR-15,” and the Government of Virginia is currently working on that right now.

That’s hardly the “common sense” gun control the Democrat establishment has been trying to sell the American public on, but it’s increasingly becoming what their base wants.

According to the last Zogby Analytics survey of likely Democratic primary voters, 36% favor “confiscation of legally owned firearms from American citizens that have not committed a crime.” Or in other words, four in ten want to do away with the Second Amendment entirely (and Fourth too, it would seem).

Among the other bits of insanity unearthed by the Zogby poll; 39% of Democrats want to decriminalize crossings the border, 39% want to eliminate private health insurance, 38% want the government to pay for the healthcare of illegals, 38% support abortions anytime until birth and 49% support the $93 trillion Green New Deal. While there are still some moderates left, the Democratic Party is becoming increasingly radicalized.

Just asking because those cities are more dangerous than Chicago.

What is your fixation with Chicago anyway?

Well ya. Try not even reading the comments you know that will tick you off. You already know what they are going to say anyway. Your BP will thank you.

Re: We are talking Illinois

The thing is most of them claim they arent anti gun before they ramble every anti gun talking point known to man. Ya gotta love em.

Re: We are talking Illinois

You're also talking about your precious Second Amendment.

So I'm asking, why aren't these cities safer in Chicago, while being located in much more gun permissive states?

It's liberal blather, because it includes facts and questions you cannot answer!

Re: We are talking Illinois

Palin is the only lefty ive seen that gave props to the guy who shot that psycho in the face at the Texas church. Most cant come clean and admit it, that they hate the way that whole thing went down. The most you will get out of 90% of them is a lot of silence on that shooting because it simply doesnt help push the narrative.

Did you see what Beto had to say? Even after this, he said it should have been handled by the police!! Unbelievable.

The policy of the American government is to leave their citizens free, neither restraining nor aiding them in their pursuits. -Thomas Jefferson

Re: We are talking Illinois

I bet Beto was livid when he found out how that went down. They can lie all they want and claim that isnt the case. The cause is much more important to them than a couple of Texas red necks. Had that guy went in that church and killed 20 people the left would be in celebration mode.

blah blah Liberal blather trying to take this off topic.

Another "what if" type trying to take the topic off topic.
Do people in Granite ever change?

Its called a dipsy doo, double reverse.

Re: blah blah Liberal blather trying to take this off topic.

I know several years ago there was a question about if it was a man or woman behind the pen. Seemed to be some confusion.

Re: blah blah Liberal blather trying to take this off topic.

I like the ones who try the angle that they are not anti second amendment but somehow because things are just so so bad sadly now support an Australian like seizure of guns. Yes people that word again, PHONEY.
Beto and a few of the other freaks at least admit it.

Re: Gun control worked great in Chicago

The leftists could care less if 1000 people get capped in Democrat cities, other than its hurts the voter base. But let a mass shooter, especially a white male go on a shooting spree and that story is a 3 day run. Other things to heighten interest is if the shooter uses a rifle, any rifle will do since it will be branded as an AR 15 anyway. Does the shooter have any connection whatsoever with the NRA, Donald Trump, or even a Mark Levin book in his house will help the cause a little bit

Anyone that thinks this Texas shooting wouldn't have been worse if not for these armed members of the congregation is an idiot.

Be it Bloomberg or Buttgig, if you keep using that rhetoric, you'll hand Trump a second term. We should be celebrating the hero who took out that POS who came to do harm. He acted calmly, he closed the target gap swiftly giving him a clean shot with little fear of striking anyone else. And, he made the perfect shot as evidenced by the POS being thrown against the wall.

I salute this guy. I salute the people of Texas for not rolling over and taking this crap any longer. Do any of us enjoy seeing a film like this? No. I would prefer this vermin go out and swallow a bullet instead of killing innocent people. I can say without hesitation that several members of my church conceal carry each and every time we meet and if we're ever confronted by a low life POS, I hope we all have such great aim.

they did not fail, because they did what their country asked of them....

Re: blah blah Liberal blather trying to take this off topic.

This shooting doesnt fit the narrative the Democrats want, not at all.
