Democrats Vow To Close Dangerous Gun-Buying Loophole Known As ‘The Second Amendment’

Via The Babylon Bee

U.S.—Democrats have made vows to place extreme restrictions on guns, but they keep running into a problem: Many of their ideas can’t go into effect because of an early addendum to the Constitution. They’re now calling this the “Second Amendment loophole.”

“We just want to get guns off the streets,” Cory Booker, one of 583 presidential candidates, told the press, “but this Second Amendment loophole makes it so we can’t do that. We need to close that loophole.”

The way many gun control advocates would like things to work is, if they read in the New York Times about a particular gun model they think is scary–like an AR-15 or a semi-automatic or a glue gun–they could then just go ahead and ban it and start taking it from people. Normally things would work this way with anything else, but thanks to the Second Amendment loophole, they can’t just ban guns because they feel like it.

Closing the Second Amendment loophole won’t be easy, though, as it will take two-thirds of the states to sign on, a nearly impossible task. This sort of thing has also blocked many other politicians’ brilliant plans, something they refer to as the “Federalism loophole.”

Democide-least anyone forgot or doesn’t know the statistics. History is replete with countries who gave their guns up. The results were horrific.

They are well on their way. The inherent right to own and use whatever guns we want has been incrementally happening since 1934. If they make it so expensive, inconvenient and burdensome to have guns that is a defacto ban.
Look at all they have accomplished without a shot being fired.

If Trump loses the White House or we lose the Senate, you can count on that little thing known as the Constitution not getting in the way of Demoncrats’ desire to subjugate us all.

The only thing, the absolute only thing, standing between American citizens and Demoncrat tyranny is the 2nd Amendment. Prove me wrong>!

The communists (they are embedded in the government and bureaucracy) said years ago they would destroy us from within by doing an end run around the constitution.
2nd amendment or no 2nd amendment, The right to keep and bear arms comes from God, not government and I will never surrender my weapons.

They will then talk of the God given rights loophole and abolish God. Wait, they already have abolished God, but saved Allah…..

Obama had total control in 2008-10 and dared not do it; are today’s Democrats that different?

They will just starve people out or make you a ‘non person’ via a cashless system.

150 MILLION guns in private hands insures that we will never face the kind of dictator as seen in many socialist countries.

First they register them
Second they confiscate them
Third they jail all opponents
Fourth they execute all who disagree.

Yahsure ,is right ! This why the second amendment is needed. The majority of gun violence is committed by blacks in the inner-city but they don’t dare say so.
