ACTION ALERT: Urge Your Senators to Oppose AG Nominee William Barr! | Current Action Alerts
Even the most liberal, anti-gun Justice on the Supreme Court -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg -- didn’t sit in the witness chair in the Senate Judiciary Committee and tell us she intended to shred the Second Amendment.
So, when Barr openly spat on the right to keep and bear arms on Tuesday -- and threatened to break down our doors in the middle of the night in order to confiscate our guns -- well, that’s a problem for us.
Listening to William Barr, there is no doubt that he will be an enemy of the Second Amendment. He even talks like an anti-gunner.
On Tuesday, he told Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) that “there’s room for reasonable regulation” on firearms laws -- which is exactly the same lingo that Michael Bloomberg or Chuck Schumer would use.
But now it has become clear: Barr’s history as an enemy of the Second Amendment goes back a long way.
Consider that in 1991 -- in testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee -- he endorsed semi-auto bans, magazine bans, and background checks. Said Barr:
On the assault weapon front, the proposal before us is the DeConcini amendment. And I think ... I would support both the Brady Bill waiting period and the DeConcini amendment [semi-auto ban], provided that they were parts of a broader and more comprehensive crime bill that included ... very tough provisions on the use of firearms in crimes and illegal purchase and trading in firearms...
Barr went on to endorse a comprehensive magazine ban as well.
