It was recently that Elizabeth Warren, aka Pocahontas
and proud Democrat, the senator from that bastion of leftwing lunacy known as
Massachusetts, had some pretty strong words for the National Rifle Association
(NRA). And I will leave it to the reader
to decide whether her words came in spite of, or perhaps because of, the
success the organization has had when it comes to defending our Second
Amendment Rights. Either way, one can
very plainly see that she is far from being a big supporter of the group. But then, that’s hardly to be unexpected.
It was apparently during a recent conference call
organized by White House Senior Advisor, and Muslim insider, Valerie Jarrett
that Warren said, “The NRA can be defeated and the NRA will be defeated.” She
then went on to say, “The president has shown that change is possible but it is
our job in Congress to show that there are many of us who are willing to fight
and that’s how you get sensible gun reforms. We will get it.” I guess that would depend on what one’s
definition of ‘sensible’ is. And I’m
pretty sure that my definition doesn’t match up well with old Liz’s. Just sayin’.
The ever-diabolical Ms. Jarrett teamed up with the liberal
champion, Warren, and other Democrat members of Congress to promote Barry
“Almighty’s” most recent executive actions the purpose of which is to further
erode that which our Constitution guarantees to every single American citizen
by way of the Second Amendment. And it
was during that same call that old Liz argued that Congress has had “all the
time in the world” to help implement gun control, but, even Democrats did
nothing during their time in the majority.
Only because they saw Obamacare as being more important.
And ‘Crazy Liz’ went on to rant, “If the Republican
Party would rather work for the NRA than for the American people and if they
won’t do their jobs to keep our children safe then somebody else has to step
up.” She recalled that some Democrats
had “particular problems” with previous gun reform measures in the wake of
Sandy Hook, but suggested that Democrats would be far bolder in the
future. She added that Barry’s executive
actions on gun control were not only “smart” but “reasonable” and would make a
“life or death” difference for children.
Liz said that she was “proud” that Massachusetts has
some of the toughest gun laws in the country, but admitted that those laws
weren’t enough to prevent criminals from getting guns from gun shows and from
other states with weaker gun laws. Liz
said, “This is not about politics, this transcends politics, this is about
doing what is right for our kids.” And she added, “The president has opened
that door and I hope the American people will walk through it.” But she so very wrong, because it’s all about
politics and has virtually nothing whatsoever about public safety.
Meanwhile, and most likely much to old Liz’s
disappointment I’m quite sure, it would seem that Barry's goal of bringing
about tighter gun restrictions might actually come to face that which I think
can safely be considered to be a pretty tough hurdle to get beyond. And that would be, much to the chagrin, none
other than the American public. You see,
The Wall Street Journal has recently reported that public support for the
National Rifle Association has actually increased, and pretty significantly,
over the course of the past several decades.
You see, thirty years ago it was 27 percent of
Americans who said that they supported the NRA.
However, fast forward those three decades and that number had jumped to
38 percent as of this past December. Also
something that’s rather noteworthy is that the number of American who opposing
the group has fallen. And it is that
support which has lawmakers in Congress, where Republicans still hold
majorities in both houses, at least for another year, unlikely to do take any
action that could be seen as somehow restricting gun ownership. Right now it’s a risk not worthy of taking.
In fact, registered voters in a Wall Street
Journal/NBC News poll in December said they were more worried about government
going too far restricting gun rights than not going far enough. It was the
other way around in 1995. Not surprising
NRA support is strongest among Republicans, where 59 percent back the gun
lobbying group, compared to only 11 percent among. But among independents, 41
percent have a favorable view as compared to only 19 percent who view it
unfavorably. More people have a favorable view of the NRA than of either
political party or.
So there you have it. Another case where we have a Democrat, in
this case Ms. Warren, dealing in what’s really nothing more than political
rhetoric versus the NRA working hard to expose what the Democrats are really up
to while at the same time working to ensure that every American citizen is able
to hold on to their constitutional right allowing them to keep both themselves
and their families safe from harm. And at
a time when Barry is releasing criminals from prison and allowing terrorists to
freely enter this country, now is not the time to disarm Americans.
