Dem Debates Part I: Candidates’ (Mis)Understanding of 2A Alarming

[Elderberry]

Round One of the first Democrat candidates’ debates is history, and if there is one thing upon which grassroots gun rights activists seem to agree, it’s that none of the people on that Miami stage Wednesday evening has even a remote grasp of the Second Amendment, and what separates constitutionally-enumerated rights from government-regulated privileges.

Vox.com reported that among Democratic voters, “gun policy” is second only to “climate change” as a major concern. This suggests that gun control “will be a big issue in the 2020 Democratic primary,” Vox observed.

A good gauge of public reaction appears at NJ.com, which focused on New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker’s proposal to require licensing of gun owners. Readers responding to the story Thursday morning wonder if Booker, the former Newark mayor and an avowed anti-gunner, ever read the Bill of Rights.

Writing at Townhall, Beth Baumann observed, “People like Booker are dangerous, especially when it comes to our Constitutional rights. We shouldn’t need permission to own a gun. We shouldn’t need a piece of paper to exercise our Second Amendment rights.”

Oh they understand it very well. That's why they smoke and mirrors gun confiscation by calling it a 'mandatory buyback.'

Putting it that way only implies they'd send out cops and troops to commit the very gun violence they supposedly abhor, to any law abiding citizen who doesn't turn in their guns, rather than have the cajones to actually say it.

Agreed.  They know what they're doing and they understand the 2A very well.

Same with the gun grabbers on TBR.
