Republicans, like ex-Rep. Peter King, are talking about compromising yet again on guns at a time when Progressives are becoming more violent and riling up their angriest Democrats against Christians and conservatives. The Times is pushing surrender on guns and abortion, even when most mass killers are leftists.
Some Republicans suggested Tennessee Governor Lee wasn’t going far enough and Republicans needed to give up the fantasy of the second amendment.
Republicans must not compromise again. They just signed a gun control bill and are still vilified.
In one week, a transgender shooter killed six Christians. Police in Colorado stopped another transgender shooter. Then, this week, a leftwing BLM-supporting, conservative-hating Democrat with pronouns in his Twitter bio decided to murder five people in a bank. The left is turning more and more violent, the FBI is worried about religious Catholics, and the press is trying to weaken Republicans.
As Dan McLaughlin said, “All the people who asked why Republicans do nothing about guns got a bunch of Republican support, passed a bill, then immediately resumed claiming Republicans have never done anything about guns.”
“It also suggests that we have seen a paradigm shift in this country that now Republicans see the anti-gun violence movement as being more powerful than the gun lobby.”@ChrisMurphyCT says “the pressure is on” for GOP to reach bipartisan compromise on guns: pic.twitter.com/FFCSEQMFuS

The truth is that we don’t follow the gun laws we currently have in place. Until we do that, no one should pass more gun laws.
Republicans believe that criminals with guns should go to jail. Democrats don’t. So who wants more gun violence?

Banning assault rifles is the latest demand. Republicans won’t get credit if they compromise and will still get vilified.
In 2014, the New York Times admitted the Assault Weapons Ban did nothing to curb gun violence in America. [So-called assault weapons are just rifles]
[I]n the 10 years since the previous ban lapsed, even gun control advocates acknowledge a larger truth: The law that barred the sale of assault weapons from 1994 to 2004 made little difference.
It turns out that big, scary military rifles don’t kill the vast majority of the 11,000 Americans murdered with guns each year. Little handguns do.
In 2012, only 322 people were murdered with any kind of rifle, F.B.I. data shows.
The continuing focus on assault weapons stems from the media’s obsessive focus on mass shootings, which disproportionately involve weapons like the AR-15, a civilian version of the military M16 rifle. This, in turn, obscures some grim truths about who is really dying from gunshots.
Annually, 5,000 to 6,000 black men are murdered with guns. Black men amount to only 6 percent of the population. Yet of the 30 Americans on average shot to death each day, half are black males.
Most crimes are committed with handguns, and if you are a black male, you are more likely to be killed with a handgun by another black male.
COMPROMISE MEANS VILIFICATION
If you compromise, you will be viilified within days. That’s how Democrats roll.
Erick Erickson notes, “Barack Obama and the Democrats could have quickly reauthorized the assault weapons ban between September 25, 2009, and February 4, 2010, when the Democrats had a 60-seat filibuster-proof majority Senate majority and control of the US House. But they chose not to and fundraised off the issue instead.”
There is no path forward for Republicans. You can’t compromise with Democrats and win, especially as they make the country far more dangerous with open borders and riling up their craziest base.

But they will, and we all know it. Most Republican officeholders agree with the Left that private ownership of firearms should be banned. They just don’t dare to admit it, for fear of being turned out of office.
William F. Buckley, that standard-bearer for conservatism, believed — and said openly at least once — that anyone who wants to own a gun should be required to join the armed forces “or a militia.” I’d bet that nearly two-thirds of elected Republicans would agree with him — because they’re part of the Establishment, and all Establishmentarians feel endangered by private weapons, not just the traitors on the Left!
The 2nd Amendment affirms a GOD Given Right to Self Defense! That Right is defense against a home invader, an Insane Alphabet Soup Cult Member shooting up a School or a Bank, someone with Road Rage wielding a Tire Tool, or a Tyrannical Government. The Tyrannical Government was what the Founding Fathers had foremost on their mind. As a Logical Result, the 2nd Amendment protects the ownership of any Weapon the Military Soldier is normally equipped with for Battle. That would be at least a fully Automatic Rifle, a Side Arm, Knives, Grenades, Body Armor, and even secondary equipment. During the time the Constitution was written, Civilians of means, even owned Cannons and Man O’ Wars. The Second Amendment says nothing about restricting even these weapons. The Second Amendment is very Clear – “shall not be infringed” leaves the Government no wiggle room.
Today, the Government, especially the Unelected Deep State Bureaucrats, are scared to death of a armed population. (And they should be.) This is why the ATF has gone nuts and the Democrats are defunding police.
Because the Liberal Democrat Government is so scared of The People,the Democrats are going after the 1st Amendment and there is a Cold War on Christians. I expect the new Army of IRS agents will soon be descending on Churches which do not tow the Line. Liberal Democrats don’t want to acknowledge GOD Given Rights. Democrats think Government is superior to GOD.
I live in a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County in an Open Carry / Conceal Carry State and most citizens are now armed to the teeth. People here appear to be buying huge Stashes of weapons and Ammunition and are hiding it. Even if by some crazy happenstance the Military sided with the Government, a real Insurrection in America would not go well for the Government. More Counties in America are now 2nd Amendment Sanctuary Counties, 61% of the 3,141 counties in the US are Sanctuary Counties and the number is growing. While this may not comprise a majority of The People, it does comprise the vast Majority of Gun Owners. This is why the ATF is trying to turn America’s gun owners into Felons.
The Republican Party MUST reestablish the original Intent of the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution. All I see is Civil War if they don’t. Over 70% of Americans identify as Christians and Americans will not be surfs of Feudalism Masters, so Republicans must support Patriots or risk being seen as the enemy too. The Line in the Sand is clear, You Support GOD Given Rights or you don’t! The Momentum is not remotely towards the restriction of Guns, it’s in the direction of Law & Order and that also means putting Corrupt Politicians and Traitors in Jail!
You’re still counting on the Party of Stupid?
