A microphone left on after the gavel fell at a New Jersey Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee hearing Thursday shows the “true view” of some of the senators toward gun owners, and provides proof that gun confiscation is a goal on which they agree, the Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs revealed in an email to members and supporters today. The group is the official NRA state association.
“The discussion that was caught, apparently among several senators and staff, is outrageous, and reveals legislators’ true view of gun owners,” ANJRPC reports.
“The discussion appears to be among Senator Loretta Weinberg (D37), Senator Sandra Cunningham (D31), Senator Linda Greenstein (D14), and at least one member of Senate Democratic staff,” the gun group’s email explains.
Among the lines heard in the recording:
“We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.”
We keep hearing all the time from the progressive politicians (when the mikes and cameras are on), from the various gun-control groups (when the mikes and cameras are on), from the various MSM outlets, and eventually from the supporters of those politicians, that they do not want to come take our guns away. That they only want the criminals to be limited.
And yet, when the mikes are off and the cameras are not rolling, this is what they actually want. Confiscation of our firearms. Limitations upon our 2nd amendment rights.
And still yet, even when presented with such obvious evidence of the progressive politicians’ desires, those who blindly support the Democrats will still tell us that these politicians do not want to take away our guns or our rights.
So, again, we find more evidence that leftists cannot be trusted. They have no qualms about lying blatantly to you while they work in sinister fashion to destroy your individual rights.
Compare the illogic inherent in the leftist’s mind:
No one has the right to deny a woman the right to terminate the life in her womb based on a made up ‘Constitutional penumbra’ of an alleged ‘right to privacy’ found by a leftwing Supreme Court justice. But an actual Constitutional right clearly spelled out in the 2nd Amendment and exhaustively explained by the men who actually WROTE the Constitution (See “The Federalist Papers”) is merely an obstacle to the leftist dystopia that must be forced upon all Americans in the name of fairness….so we must do whatever it takes…deceit, lying, obfuscations as to our intent to ban all firearms…in order to force our vision of life upon everyone else.
So basically the only ‘Freedom of Choice” that will be allowed is that of which the left approves. Anything that disagrees with this goal must be destroyed, including the US Constitution.
It is not hyperbole for me to repeat again that any vote for ANY leftist (whether democrat or RINO) is treason. If you take the time to learn what positions and what votes these political scumbags are making and you decide to vote for them anyway then you are just as despicable as they are. If you are too lazy to really learn what the politicians are doing then you have no one to blame when the economy collapses and they take everything you own and put you in chains on their political prison plantation.
Educate your friends and family on the history of our Founding Fathers. Go back and read “The Federalist Papers”. Then read and contrast them with Marx’s “Communist Manifesto” and “Das Kapital”. Read Jonah Goldberg’s book on the history of progressivism in the United States – sorry I can’t recall the exact title at the moment. Every time you see an idiot wearing a Che Guevara image, ask them if they know he was racist. Ask if they know how many people he murdered.
The next time you have someone go on about the “right” to abortion, ask them if they know more babies have been slaughtered by abortion than Hitler killed in WWII or Stalin murdered in Russia.
Leftists live in their comfortable little bubbles of false propaganda. The only way to beat them is to refuse to remain quiet when someone mouths some smug, self-impressed politically correct nonsense. Force them to acknowledge actual facts. Challenge them to look things up for themselves rather than to simply take your word for it. This will require that YOU research your history and know your facts. You will be reviled and sniggered at. Who cares? Truth and the future of your children and grandchildren are far more important than being “popular” with the PC lemmings.
I wish these want to be tyrants would have the courage to try to confiscate citizen owned firearms by themselves instead of sending agents who do not necessarily feel the same way, but will bear the brunt of the damage when they try. That way, the resulting combat would “kill” two birds with one stone. The elimination of the people who want to illegally take my property (theft) and the retention of my property.
@Zelsdorf Ragshaft III: Well put. It’s amazing how the self righteous always want someone else to do their dirty work for them.
Make no mistake here…with another thirty million illegals coming…once family members are let in…the left will have the votes to do just as they wish.
The Republican party is worthless…they no longer protect our rights…they just go along to get along…and our rights are taken one at a time.
Richard Wheeler (California progressives) said this to me in another thread:
Don’t tell him he is wrong. He still buys what the Democrats say in public. So, are the Dems. taking away our Constitutional Rights? Not yet. Do they want to? You betcha.
When one of those Dems said, “We needed a bill that was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate,” they did NOT mean they wanted a bill that would openly SAY it was going to confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.
Joe Biden and his Mass. state Atty Gen son both have expressed rejiggering the mental health restriction on gun ownership.
At present one must be ADJUDICATED as mentally ill to lose one’s guns.
THEY wish to allow doctors to merely claim a gun owner shouldn’t have his guns.
And, POOF!, they come and confiscate, confiscate, confiscate.
That is ONE way these Dems are trying to go.
I’m sure there are other tracks as well.
