In case you thought that your Second Amendment rights were safe even in Democrat hands now, Debbie Wasserman Schultz wants to disabuse you of that quaint little notion:
The new head of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is pushing for screenings of all gun purchases.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz said the current law, which allows private firearm sales without background checks, is “outrageous.” The Florida Democrat is sponsoring a soon-to-be-released proposal extending the screening requirements to all gun purchases, commercial or private.
“It is outrageous that gun buyers evade the background check system every day, even in broad daylight,” Wasserman Schultz said Monday at a gun reform rally in Miami sponsored by Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
“While we likely cannot end all gun violence, we certainly can do much, much better,” she added. “We have laws on the books designed to keep guns out of the hands of those that should not have them. We just need to close the loopholes and improve the information available to law enforcement.”
Make no mistake, the Democrats want to squeeze the life out of the Second Amendment like a snake squeezes a rat. They have no respect for that particular article of the Bill of Rights, and as we saw in the ObamaCare legislation, you can’t trust any of them on any issue. They will sell out their “deeply held” convictions for a dime and a pat on the head if Obama asks them to. As it was with Bart Stupak and abortion, so with any and all of the so-called “Blue Dogs” on gun control. The only safety for the Second Amendment lies with the Republicans (who aren’t that great a friend to it themselves).
