Here’s What A Liberal ‘Gun-Grab’ Would Look Like And Why It Would Ultimately Fail
Kurt Schlichter (https://journal.ijreview.com/author/kurt_schlichter/)Los Angeles, CA
Kurt Schlichter is a trial lawyer in Los Angeles, California. A retired U.S. Army infantry colonel, he is the author of Conservative Insurgency: The Struggle to Take America Back 2009-2041.
So, how do liberals get their wish for a disarmed, subservient population? Because all this talk of gun banning – and now they are finally admitting (https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/a-gun-free-society/2015/10/04/6da29040-69c4-11e5-9ef3-fde182507eac_story.html)that they want to take our guns – raises some practical questions. Not least among them is how you get a hundred million-plus armed citizens to cheerfully turn over their firearms at the behest of a bunch of liberals who have nothing but contempt for normal Americans.
Let’s not focus on the political blowback – the massive mobilization of voters who suddenly take an interest in politics because their guns are threatened and vote in pro-freedom candidates. That’s already happening – the ranks of the NRA are swelling and there were 20 people waiting for the doors to open last weekend at a local Los Angeles gun shop.
Instead, let’s look at the practical obstacles to gun banning. The first is legal. Some jurisdiction passes a law infringing upon the right to keep and bear arms and those subjected to that injustice go to court to challenge it. But this is problematic. While the majority of Americans understand the Constitution’s Second Amendment to mean exactly what it says, liberals see the Constitution as less a foundational document than a list of suggestions to be disregarded as they become inconvenient.
Hillary is already making the repeal of the First Amendment a key part of her campaign – she doesn’t like that citizens are allowed to unite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC) and make movies critical of her – and we’ve seen Obama heap contempt upon freedom of religion, due process, and the right to be free of unreasonable searches. Only a slim majority of the Supreme Court is even willing to enforce what the Second Amendment says, and it just recently refused to consider challenges (http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2015/12/foghorn/breaking-supreme-court-declines-to-hear-assault-weapons-case-allows-law-to-stand/) to laws banning normal capacity magazines and that unicorn of the gun debate, “assault weapons.”
