The veneer has worn off.
As Democratic candidates for president drift further and further left, it is clear that their end game on firearms includes unconstitutional infringements on the right to bear arms.
For years, gun control advocates carefully honed their message.
They dismissed concerns that they want to create a registry or confiscate peoples’ weapons.
They have even shifted their language from “gun control” to the much softer-sounding “gun safety.”
Recently, though, some presidential candidates have made their true intentions clear.
California Sen. Kamala Harris vows to ban certain weapons via executive order.
Numerous other presidential candidates support a national gun licensing scheme.
Beto O’Rourke wants to pressure banks and credit card companies in order to dictate which weapons purchases they will process.
Most recently, O’Rourke exclaimed, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”
These proposals are on shaky constitutional ground, but power politics have taken the place of serious debate on the issues. When former Vice President Joe Biden correctly pointed out that there is “no constitutional authority” for Harris’ proposed executive order, she laughed at him. O’Rourke’s campaign is literally cashing in on his bad ideas, by selling T-shirts printed with his vow to “take” the most popular rifle in America from law abiding citizens.
