Pennsylvania’s John Fetterman Wants to Roll Back Your Gun Rights if Elected to the Senate

Pennsylvania’s Democratic Lt. Gov. John Fetterman has a few ideas for ushering in crushing blows to the Second Amendment should he be elected in November. The man who once wielded a shotgun against an African-American man he wrongfully believed was involved in a crime wants to obliterate your gun rights.
 
Lt. Gov. Fetterman, the tattooed, hoodie-wearing, Senate candidate vying for the Senate seat being vacated by retiring Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) wants to become President Joe Biden’s biggest gun control ally. He’s got a few thoughts on gun control, all of which would relegate the Second Amendment back to being a second-class right.
 
AR-15s
 
Lt. Gov. Fetterman’s radical gun control ideas go further than the far-left proposals that even President Biden has proposed. President Biden unceasingly begs Congress to deliver him legislation to ban the sale of the most-popular selling centerfire rifle in America.
 
The Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR) – or AR-15 style rifle – continues to be the target of Democrats and their gun control supporters, despite the fact that murders by all rifles comprise just three percent of all murders, not just AR-15s. There are over 24.4 million MSRs in circulation today. They are unquestionably “commonly used” (owned) in the parlance of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Heller decision.
 
That would end if Lt. Gov. Fetterman is able to change his job title to “senator.” He isn’t satisfied with a ban on MSR sales. He wants to make it illegal to possess one.
 
“I’ve always supported a ban to the assault rifle ownership,” Lt. Gov. Fetterman stated on April 11. “We should not have weapons of war in the hands of civilians.”
 
That’s the often-repeated and completely false line that gun control ginned up to villainize the black rifle that’s similar in appearance to the military’s M-16 and M-4. The Washington Post reported that Josh Sugarmann, of the gun control group Violence Policy Center, coined the term “assault weapon” in 1989 to confuse those who didn’t know the difference between the two.
 
Thirty years later, Lt. Gov. Fetterman is still at it.
 
Kill the Filibuster
 
Lt. Gov. Fetterman knows that the Senate procedural rule known as the “filibuster” is what is preventing the Senate from steamrolling Americans’ Constitutional rights. That’s why he wants to get rid of that, too.
 
“That’s one of the main reasons why I called for the elimination of the filibuster. Eighty to ninety percent of Americans support the elimination — excuse me — banning assault rifle ownership and common sense gun control legislation,” he said.
 
Except that’s not true. Crime continues to be a greater concern than gun control. Lt. Gov. Fetterman talks a big game about tackling out-of-control crime, but is record proves differently.
 
He scrubbed any reference of Black Lives Matter from his website to keep anyone from connecting him with the group’s police defunding movement. “Pardons and commutations have soared since Fetterman took office in 2019, consistent with his progressive philosophy on criminal justice reform,” NBC News reported.
 


 
Gun Control Plans
 
Lt. Gov. Fetterman isn’t just eyeing a ban on lawful firearm ownership, which raises its own Constitutional questions. He’s carrying the water for gun control groups on other pet projects too.
 
He wants universal background checks, unenforceable without the creation of a national firearm registry. A registry like that, of course, is a violation of federal law.
 
He wants to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), which forbids lawsuits against the firearm industry for the crimes committed by remote third parties – commonly known as criminals. Lt. Gov. Fetterman wants to pin the blame for criminal actions on gun manufacturers, not the criminals who commit the crimes.
 
Lt. Gov. Fetterman also wants to eliminate the “Dickey Amendment.” That’s the amendment that has been reaffirmed that keeps the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from advocating for gun control. He wrongfully claims that the Dickey Amendment prevents the CDC from reporting on criminal violence or firearms, but that was never true, as NSSF has previously pointed out here.
 
He also called NRA members, the “lunatic fringe of gun ownership.” Lt. Gov. Fetterman portrays himself as the center when it comes to gun owners, because, he says, “I own guns. I went deer hunting when I was much younger,” he said. He admitted, “I have owned a Smith & Wesson Model 500. In fact, I’ve been around guns for most of my life.”
 
That must include the time when he admitted to wielding a shotgun against an African American man he saw jogging and suspected of committing a crime. Lt. Gov. Fetterman, “chose to follow him in a pickup truck and pull a 20-gauge shotgun on him when he confronted the man. Fetterman used the gun to detain him until police arrived. Ultimately, the man was not involved in any wrongdoing.”

Wrongfully convicted, granted clemency, and released from prison.

Did you bother to read the story? It does not comport with your statement. Because you say something does not make it so.

Yes, I did read the story. I also read other stories about the topic.

Let’s see them.

Let’s see them.

There’s no point. You’ll say that they’re from untrustworthy sources, blah blah blah.

The point is I asked, you didn’t produce. You say I won’t trust your sources, yet you don’t know me at all. I can’t say because you won’t back up your words. I guess even you know your “sources”, if they exist, are suspect. I am not surprised. I could have won a bet on you.

Yes I know you’ve got nothing. No need to call attention to it.

Pointless or not, how difficult is it to provide a source for your assertion? “There’s no point” is such a gutless cop-out.

Which is what you say about anything that refutes your narrative.

You see the issue now?

Fetterman is a satanic dirtbag who lived with his parents until age 50.

Why won’t the satanic dirtbag fetterman debat his opponent?

fetterman, like other democrats, is unable to debate their opposition because they cannot run on the biden record.

“Satanic” is not a real thing. It’s like seriously accusing him of being a hobbit or an Airbender.

“Satanic” is not a real thing

Neither is Atheism.

Atheism is a human attempt to have the “default setting” that all non-sentient life has.

My dog is an Atheist.
The squirrels in my backyard are Atheist.
Covid-19 virus cells are Atheist.

Human beings are incapable of having an “absence” of belief. Saying the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and Satan are not real is a belief, and requires faith.

It’s a religion.

I don’t understand why you’re so invested in trying to make yourself believe that I follow your religion. I don’t need to believe in your religion in order for you to believe in your religion.

Similarly, if I look out the window and see no rain, and then step outside and feel no rain, my belief that it’s not raining is only faith-based, and, thus, open to question by fundamentalist Rainites.

Haha. But “rain” still exists, and still happens.

Thanks for proving my point. You’re far more of a “fundamentalist” than any Christian I’ve ever met.

You’re far more of a “fundamentalist” than any Christian I’ve ever met.

To be fair, it doesn’t surprise me to learn that you’ve never met any Christians. You don’t see to understand the big ideas behind the religion.

Nathan didn’t say he has never met any Christians. He said you were “far more of a fundamentalist than any Christian he has ever met.”
And you have a college degree that allows you to teach children?
Is English your second language?

He intentionally mis-quotes and mis-reads. It’s part of his job.

He knows what he’s doing.

Nathan didn’t say he has never met any Christians. He said you were “far more of a fundamentalist than any Christian he has ever met.”

Right. And if he’s to be taken at his word, he clearly hasn’t met any Christians, since more and more Christians in this country are frighteningly fundamentalist.

since more and more Christians in this country are frighteningly fundamentalist.

There’s no evidence of that. Quite the contrary. Instead, the Woke Left have BECOME the fundamentalist zealots they think they are fighting….an almost stereotypical Christian modeled off of televangelists from 1983 that simply don’t exist.

Meanwhile, our own government and NATO have started WWIII and are trying to lie to us.

Just and FYI.

OK, so you’ve established you either attended a sub par university or you failed English 101.
Or English is really your second language.

I’ve lost retire05’s respect!

Oh, no!!

Anyway…

Your banter is boring. Can’t you discuss issue based conversation instead of what appears to be nothing more than personal destruction.?

You need to get a life sonny

Your comments are those of a high school sophomore. Maybe you could join a blue haired ladies quilting club.

I have an undergraduate degree in Religion (objective, academic study), and passed on multiple invitations to academic Seminary Ph.D programs, such as Harvard and Vanderbuilt, to pursue my own business instead.

Like most Zealots, you don’t even understand your own Zealotry.

Textbook.

Bull. Shit. The bullest of shit ever shat by a bull.

It’s absolutely true.

I have an MBA, as well.

It’s absolutely true.

Of course it’s not, but, if it were, you’d need to demand your money back, because that school did you a disservice.

Hehe. You so funny.

Did my education wreck your stereotypes?

You might be wrong…about everything.

Did my education wreck your stereotypes?

No, because I don’t believe it for even a fraction of a moment.

And that’s okay. The Truth remains the Truth.

*casually looks up at the diplomas on my wall in my study*

my study

So that’s what you’re calling the shed in your backyard these days. Dare to dream.

Stupid comment

You’re a stupid comment.

I take it my education threatens you.
I know.
The real question is what and who are you….really?

The USA is 31 Trillion in debt. We blew up the Nordstream so we could sell NG to Germany, and gouge the prices while we do.

Desperate.

The Dollar is in threat of being replaced, and our regime is flailing.

Putin is not hiding in a bunker. He’s leading a gold-backed ruble with China firmly allied with Russia.

Russia is running out of arms, Putin is running out of time, and China is watching and learning.

greg only has Ukraine now as the biden regime is on life support. Even abortion has abandoned greg.

Maybe you should let the people of the Satanic temple know they are not real.

The Church of Satan doesn’t actually believe in Satan. It’s a gimmick to make a point about the role of religion in the public sphere.

They are filing suit for the ritual of abortion you ignorant twit.
Then there is the church of Satan.

Do you understand why they’re doing and why they’re doing it? It seems as if you don’t.

You must be a member, no I dont want to know why these attention freaks need to kill the most innocent. All they really need is a covid vaccine to be sterile or abort a baby.
Fettermans problem with guns prohibits him taking a senate oath.

Well, at least you were honest about not wanting to know any facts on a topic about which you have strong feelings.

The topic is clear.
The solutions are obvious.
You are off topic.
Fetterman is unfit for the senate.

Then you shouldn’t have raised the topic.

Do try to follow, it was Nathan, rather than follow the topic you popped off about satanists were not a thing.
It is difficult to defend Fetterman a total beta twit.

Nathan didn’t say anything about the Satanic Temple.

And what does that have to do with trying to follow..are you retarded or just up to date with your vaccines?

That’s fine. We’re just trying to get through to you the fact that a republic and democracy can’t exist without Judeo-Christianity. It’s were it comes from.

If you people get to take over the US, it will be only a matter of years before it’s a totalitarian hell. You’re already seeing it.

We trace our political roots back to pagan Greece and Rome.

Yes the founders were versed in the classical writings as well as their contemporary philosophers, those ideals have no trace in the modern Democrat party.

MSNBC on Interview with Fetterman After His Massive Stroke: “He Had a Hard Time Understanding Our Conversations” (VIDEO)
Pennsylvania Democrat US Senate candidate John Fetterman is totally shot after his massive stroke in May.

Fetterman can barely string a sentence together.

MSNBC sat down for a one-on-one exclusive interview with John Fetterman and he had a hard time conversing with the news anchor.

MSNBC had a monitor set up so Fetterman could read the reporter’s questions because of his ‘lingering auditory processing issues’ from his stroke.

Fetterman is completely shot. He could not have a conversation with the news anchor prior to the interview.

“Just in some of the small talk prior to the interview, before the closed-captioning was up and running, it did seem that he had a hard time understanding our conversations,” MSNBC said.

An empty chair would be a better representative of Pennsylvania in the Senate.

Gosh, isn’t Michael putting forth a comprehensive and convincing defense of Fetterman and the Democrats? Seems he wants to discuss anything but this shitbag Fetterman.

That has been my point exactly.

He is not issues based but wants to engage in tit for tat only.

Gosh, isn’t Michael putting forth a comprehensive and convincing defense of Fetterman

I’ve read conflicting reports about his condition, and I don’t feel that I know enough to opine on the topic. That’s the same reason I don’t offer opinions about the Ukraine war. When someone accuses Fetterman or someone else of being satanic or demonic, on the other hand, I feel fine weighing in, because Satan and demons are not real.

You don’t know enough about his condition because he won’t release his records. Oz did. You can see he’s impaired and, if you actually cared about the human being, you wouldn’t want someone susceptible to stroke to undergo the stress of (that should be related to) public office.

But, even in perfect health, his positions on energy, crime, abortion and the border is either the result of being mentally impaired or being just wrong for America.

NBC correspondent Dasha Burns revealed on NBC Nightly News that John Fetterman is in worse shape than originally thought after his near-debilitating stroke. 

Burns told viewers that his “campaign required close captioning technology for this interview to essentially read our questions as we asked them.”  

She went on to note that “in small talk before the interview without captioning, it wasn’t clear he was understanding our conversation.” 

 Fetterman stated on April 11. “We should not have weapons of war in the hands of civilians.”

This is the completely false line that gun control ginned up to villainize the black rifle that’s similar in appearance to the military’s M-16 and M-4. The Washington Post reported that Josh Sugarmann, of the gun control group Violence Policy Center, coined the term “assault weapon” in 1989 to confuse those who didn’t know the difference between the two.

 
Thirty years later, Lt. Gov. Fetterman is still at it.

Funny how dems keep using ideas that had been completely debunked decades ago.
We see joe do the same with things debunked years ago, like the “Russia, Russia, Russia,” hoax and the “some fine people,” hoax.
Fetterman would “roll back all American’s gun rights based on a faulty premise.

Good thing our Founders saw fit that the populace had weapons easily as effective and big as our colonial masters, the British.

There is something really sick about people who want to release criminals from jail and prison, refuse to prosecute crimes and want to disarm the citizens. Yet this is a central pillar of the Democrat agenda.

Like today.
We all read about and saw video proof that a maniac ran thru a fast food place swinging an ax, destroying property and menacing peopple.
He got arrested, got freed (already) and just now was re-arrested for some other act of craziness.
A three day hold for a mental health eval might be good.
Our criminal justice system is a revolving door in propgressive places.
