2nd Amendment Experts Available to Interview
Michael Bloomberg dropped out of the Presidential race and endorsed Joe Biden. Together, they will launch an anti-gun campaign on steroids.
Bloomberg, who having poured millions of dollars into his own gun-grabbing campaign with his “Everytown for Gun Safety,” advocating strict gun control, essentially shredding the 2nd Amendment.
To make matters worse, the opponents of self-defense have enlisted Beto O’Rourke’s endorsement on the campaign trail. Who can forget his viral comment of “Hell Yes, We Are Going To Take Your AR-15s, your AK-47s” that received thunderous audience applause?
Here to discuss the two factions of “I’m pro-gun and I vote vs. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help you surrender your guns,” are spokesmen from the 2nd Amendment Foundation.
Q&A:
Q1. Both Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden oppose 2nd Amendment rights, so how is a Democrat what can we expect when it comes to debating guns?
Answer: They will likely fall all over themselves competing to see who can shred the constitution fastest.
Q2. Exactly what is it that the two leading Democratic candidates don’t understand about the simple phrase, “The right to bear arms shall not be infringed?”
Answer: They are willfully ignorant.
Q3. Speaking of Constitutional understanding, is it true that Joe Biden had had another gaffe, forgetting the words to the preamble of the Declaration of Independence?
Answer: Yes, during a speech in Texas, according to the Daily Caller, the former vice president did indeed forget the words to the preamble of the Declaration of Independence, on top of his willful ignorance of the 2nd Amendment.
Q.4 For the record, what does the Preamble say and what was Biden’s misquote?
Answer: Biden reportedly said. “All men and women created by you know, you know the thing.” The actual wording of the U.S. Constitution is this:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
Q5. There is a growing suspicion that Biden’s gaffes are not just “Joe being Joe.” Last week during remarks at a campaign rally, he goofed by telling an audience he was running for the U.S. Senate, and also a whopper of a claim about guns. Do you recall that statement?
Answer: Yes, during the debate in a nasty exchange with Bernie Sanders, former Senator Biden claimed 150 million Americans had been killed with firearms in the years since 2007. Now I’m no mathematician but that comes to nearly half of the population of the United States.
Q6. But when it comes to outright gun control, an argument can be made that Bloomy is even worse than Bernie. Tell us about that.
Answer: When it comes to making outright assaults against the 2nd Amendment, no other candidate reaches Bloomberg’s far-casting shadow.
He has devoted millions of dollars to gun control efforts, funding the launch of Everytown for Gun Safety and supporting the subsidiary Moms Demand Action group.
Q7. That’s not very complimentary for Bloomberg to be to the Left of a gun-grabbing Socialist.
Answer: That’s right. If it comes to a Bloomberg nomination, every American gun owner should come to the polls in November, determined to keep him out of the White House as much as they were there to prevent Hillary Rodham Clinton’s election in 2016.
A Bloomberg win would also cement Democrats as being the “party of gun control” or “gun confiscation,” and it’s a brand that would stick. Lately, Democrats have not done anything to suggest it wouldn’t be an accurate description.
Q8. Where may we get more information on the 2nd Amendment Foundation?
Answer: SAF.org
