The thing about the left’s pursuit of gun control is that they’re never satisfied and won’t be until the people are disarmed leaving only the government armed. That’s not the America our founding fathers envisioned so, of course, the left takes issue with our forefathers. Just take a look at this MSNBC guest’s crazy anti-American rant on Joy Reid’s show.
“It’s time to say that no one in America needs an assault weapon. It’s something the military needs. It is not something that people need. And whatever mental issues the shooter here had, and it’s clear that he did, even if he didn’t, he didn’t need that gun,” said MSNBC legal analyst Jill Wine-Banks.
Although Chicago and Highland Park’s gun laws are some of the strictest in the country, Brooks instead focused on the Supreme Court decision finding New York’s concealed carry laws to be unconstitutional.
“We are now living in that world too and we have brought it on ourselves. We can’t say, oops, it’s the Russians’ fault, they shouldn’t have invaded us. Or oops, this is Al-Qaeda. This is us. This is 100% us and it’s because we are essentially slaves to a document that was written more than 230 years ago by a tiny group of white slave-owning men,” Brooks said.
Several liberals have called out the Supreme Court decision since its announcement in June with many hosts and guests suggesting guns have more rights than women.
Brooks added, “And we cannot break out of the bondage that we have imposed on ourselves from feeling like we have to — everything by our Supreme Court is decided in reference to this ancient document which is just not serving us well. It is causing enormous problems and enormous tragedies at this point.”
I take particular offense that this rant was following the 4th of July. The Chicago parade shooting was a horrific incident and we shouldn’t downplay the mental health crisis in this country. That said, it would be a tragedy to allow these criminals to rob everyday Americans of their Constitutional rights.
