Gun control advocates are letting the mask slip<\/a><\/p>\n

There will always be debate over gun control, no matter what the courts rule going forward. After all, the Bruen decision doesn\u2019t seem to have slowed any anti-gun lawmakers down one bit. They\u2019re just hoping the laws can go into effect for a few years before they get bounced by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Yet through it all, we\u2019re routinely told that no one wants to ban guns, that it\u2019s all about \u201ccommon sense gun control\u201d initiatives, but that no one wants to take away your right.<\/p>\n

Except, that\u2019s not remotely true, as John Lott\u00a0notes in the Washington Times<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Gun control advocates keep claiming they just want \u201creasonable\u201d gun control, but self-defense advocates are understandably skeptical.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

New York and New Jersey cover their states with gun-free zones to the point of making concealed carry impractical. Hawaii\u2019s Legislature is now proposing to charge permit holders $1,000 in fees. None of that is reasonable. Nor is it reasonable when President Biden keeps talking about banning all semi-automatic guns, which account for about 85% of handguns sold.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ABC News reported in 2013 that former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, who are gun control activists, \u201cjust want what they call reasonable gun control.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(In 2011, Ms. Giffords was shot in the head at point-blank range in a supermarket parking lot. Eighteen other people were also shot, six of them fatally, including federal District Chief Judge John Roll and a 9-year-old girl.)<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

But at the end of an interview with Time magazine in April, the Democratic former lawmaker from Arizona made her wishes clear: \u201c\u2018No more guns,\u2019 she said. Peter Ambler, her aide and adviser, tried to clarify that she means no more gun violence, but Ms. Giffords was clear about what she was saying. \u201cNo, no, no,\u2019 she said. \u201cLord, no.\u201d She paused. \u201cGuns, guns, guns. No more guns. Gone.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lott goes on to illustrate just how wrong many of the gun control arguments actually are, and you should most definitely read what he has to say because he\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

However, there are other instances we\u2019re seeing of the \u201cno more guns\u201d vibe gaining ground.<\/p>\n

For example, we have Sen. John Fetterman\u2019s aide suggesting the senator would support overturning the Second Amendment, which\u00a0the senator\u2019s office has yet to deny<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We also have the smaller-than-desired gaggle of women\u00a0outside the state capitol of Colorado<\/a>\u00a0demanding not gun control, but an executive order banning guns in the state and a mandatory buyback of all firearms. This isn\u2019t about restrictions but a totally unconstitutional gun ban decreed by executive fiat.<\/p>\n

The truth of the matter is that gun control supporters have maintained a mask for years. They\u2019ve routinely claimed that they aren\u2019t interested in gun bans and anyone who says they are is just some kind of conspiracy theorist.<\/p>\n

Yet what we\u2019re seeing is that a lot of people are letting the mask slip. They\u2019re not hiding it so much anymore. They\u2019re trusting the media to cover them\u2013which is what\u2019s happening, to be sure\u2013so they don\u2019t have to pretend as much as they have in the past.<\/p>\n

More and more are saying the quiet part out loud, which is refreshing.<\/p>\n

The downside is that they\u2019re not thinking this through because a majority of Americans may want some kind of gun control, but a buttload fewer are willing to accept a ban on guns<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
