Article from The Daily Caller by Nick Givas.
Republican Rep. Jeff Duncan of South Carolina said Democrats are trying to erode the Second Amendment by limiting lawmakers’ ability to carry a firearm for protection on Capitol Hill.
“We have to look at the words of Hawaiian [Democratic] Sen. [Mazie] Hirono this week that Democrats know and are smarter than their voters,” Duncan said on “Fox & Friends” Friday.
“They are trying to create a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist. Since 1967 members of Congress have been able to carry firearms onto this Capitol Hill campus,” he continued.
“There hasn’t been a problem in 50 years as you pointed out. And so the curtain has been pulled back on the progressive agenda,” he said. “You look at who is pushing this — [California Democratic Rep.] Jared Huffman. But then you have the words of [Democratic Rep.] Eric Swalwell from California who debated Tucker Carlson on your show about his desire to have the government confiscate guns and do a government buy back program. It’s all about gun control for the [House Minority Leader] Nancy Pelosi Democrats in this Congress.”

THEY WILL NEVER GET IT RIGHT, HITLER DIDN’T AND THEY WON’T EITHER!!!
DEMS GOT US INTO EVERY WAR WE WERE IN WHAT WILL OUR BOYS FIGHT WITH, STICKS AND STONES,???
Do you really think they care? They want all of us dead. One world order, America a third world country with no borders!!!
It’s never been about the people they are supposed to represent, it’s about self serving interest. Your take on this is right on and it spread it roots when the machine who bought Obama the 2008 and 2012 elections was the groundwork financed by G. Soros for this One World, One Bank, bologna has been imbedded in the anti-American establishment and with Trump trying to dismantle it, try and the liberal left have been trying to take Trump down since day one. It’s going to get pretty down and dirty for awhile s be prepared.
When Senator Hirons says that Democrats are just smarter than their voters, she may just know what she is talking about. The area in my state, where I live, gets a large amount of visitors each hunting season. They come from all over to shoot Bambi, Thumper and Donald Duck. There could also be a few Elmer Fudds out there looking for Bugs Bunny. Many of them also seem to be helping the gun grabbers by voting for them.
Our visitors are die hard devoted hunters and all have rifles and shotguns. Many of the hunters that visit my area, have NRA and various union membership decals on their pickup trucks and cars along with Hillary or other Democrat campaign stickers. With the current push Democrats are continuously making to disarm the public, it would almost be comical If it wasn’t so scary.

I don’t know what state you live in… but I live in the Heart of the Mid-West … Southern Indiana as a matter of fact… a Life Time Member of the NRA and a 30+ year Member of the Labor Union AFL-CIO Local 808… and I’d Never Vote Hillary or the Democrats if they were the Only Ones Running and as for taking my guns…Come and Take It!
You can have it when you pry it from my Cold Dead Hands…. Take the guns from your citizens and they go from being Citizens to Subjects…
Steve:
I live in Michigan. After I retired from the Army I worked in a auto plant for a while. Not as a union member but in administration. Just before an election the union stewards were giving lists to their members. I knew a few of those workers and they told me they were a list of candidates. It was not an order but a strong recommendation that they vote for those candidates. Many of the younger union members who worked in that plant were well indoctrinated into the Liberal agenda.
I did ask one of those hunters, who worked at the same plant I did, about his NRA membership and the Hillary campaign sticker. He said that the sticker was to keep his job. He said that those with Republican stickers had a habit of getting fired or being among the first to get laid off and the union would do nothing to help them.
In all fairness, I’m only speaking from personal experience based on the one plant I worked at and a lot of hear say. I grew up in a neighborhood with quite a few Auto Workers and have many friends who have worked in the auto plants. My brother-in-law and a cousin were Auto Workers for over 40 years. I have heard similar stories from them, some of their friends and many of my friends. Some of those friends are registered Democrats. I am not saying that this is typical of all union management but I do know it does exist.
Honest Politicians do not fear armed Citizens……. Crooked Politicians seek to Dis-Arm Citizens.
So you brain dead bunch of traitors it just doesn’t end with you idiots, but it may end and you won’t like it I guarantee it! So now you want to turn DC into a gun free zone, you dumb fu$kers just asked some dumb a$$ who is high on drugs or mentally unstable come visit you with evil in their hearts and bring carnage to an area that since 1967 as a protected area due to the fact that some might be armed, well just another sacrifice so you bastards can push for more gun control! You are the worst and definitely need thinning out! Just like Hitler and many other lunatics!
@Varmint….I believe the time will come soon when we will have a cleansing out of America. Too many dumbed down individuals thanks to the schools, and too many career politicians who believe that driving America into a third world country (thank you Obama) will make America a Marxist country. They are too stupid to see what other countries have had and failed at Marxism…they don’t love America, the country that everyone in the world wants to come to live because it is GREAT. Shame on them. The cleansing might well take care of that element of the left and liberalism..the Schumer’s and Pelosi’s, who by the way have security and live in high walled houses. Convenient isn’t it? Hypocrites at the worst in America. So it’s either a cleansing we will see or a civil war to get back what this country stands for. And it’s not these idiots who want us to be a 3rd world country….again Thank you Obama and the people who elected you.
