Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), who President Trump has famously mocked by calling “Pocahontas” because of her claims that she is native American (even though DNA tests showed her to be more white than the average American), has gone back to one of her favorite targets (possibly second only to targeting businesses): Americans’ Second Amendment rights
As usual, Warren is using the excuse of saving lives to try to prevent you or me from getting our hands on firearms and accessories that criminals get their hands on everyday.
This time, at least, the excuse has a bit of twisted nuance, though, in that it is focusing on ammunition sold to Mexican cartels. Don’t let her fool you, though: if passed, this will limit the rights of Americans. Mike Stone gives us the details:
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren will introduce legislation on Thursday to stop a U.S. Army-owned ammunition plant from selling military-grade bullets to civilians, asserting that some are being diverted to arm Mexican drug cartels and have been used in more than a dozen American mass shootings.
The Stop Militarizing Our Streets Act, co-sponsored by Senator Andy Kim and Representatives Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin, would prohibit Pentagon contractors from selling military-grade assault weapons and ammunition to civilians.
It would also require that military contractors only sell firearms and ammunition to commercial dealers that follow minimum safety practices, such as screening customers and having a low history of gun sales that are later linked to a crime.
So, someone did a bad thing using a firearm or ammunition manufactured in the U.S., and Warren wants to prevent people from doing evil things by preventing law-abiding Americans from being able to buy those same tools for legal uses.
In other words, punish everyone for the misdeeds of the few.
Got it.
Warren’s proposed bill is standard operating procedure for the political left and is absolutely repulsive and disgusting to rational people everywhere.
