Dems confess gun control bill intended to ban “common use” firearms, We the People say NO

Published in Blog on July 20, 2022 by COS Staff Writer

The gun control agenda is intended to confiscate all “common use” firearms from the hands of Americans, as confessed by a House Democrat just this week during a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Republican Representative Dan Bishop of North Carolina asked if Democrats dispute that the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2021” proposes to ban guns currently in “common use.”

“That’s the point of the bill,” replied New York Democrat Representative and Chairman of the committee Jerry Nadler. 

“So, to clarify, Mr. Chairman, you’re saying it is the point of the bill to ban weapons that are in common use in the United States today,” Bishop questioned again.

“Yes,” Nadler responded. “The problem is that they’re in common use.”

A new poll by The Trafalgar Group in partnership with Convention of States Action finds that Americans believe armed citizens offer the best protection against mass shootings, yet those in the federal government continue to advocate for a ban of common use firearms.

Strikingly, 62.2% of voters say they are not confident their local law enforcement and government officials could identify and stop a violent person before they started a mass shooting. Additionally, 41.8% of voters believe that an armed citizen would be their best protection if they were caught in a mass shooting event.

With these figures, it’s unjustifiable to infringe on the Second Amendment rights of Americans, all while standing behind the armed doors of the U.S. Capitol.

As seen in the recent Indiana shooting, armed citizens are the best way of preventing and quickly stopping any psychotic shooter, which seems to be consistently young men.

The gun-grabbing agenda is in full-swing, but We the People like our independence and our ability to fight back against tyranny, which means we must defend the right to bear arms.

To keep the peace and the freedom, Article V of the Constitution offers a way to address federal overreach: a Convention of States. 

This is our chance to tell the Washington elite that we will no longer put up with their power abuse, and instead, we’ll take back the power they have slowly but surely confiscated.

Petition your state legislator

Almost everyone knows that our federal government is on a dangerous course. The unsustainable debt combined with crushing regulations on states and businesses is a recipe for disaster.

What is less known is that the Founders gave state legislatures the power to act as a final check on abuses of power by Washington, DC. Article V of the U.S. Constitution authorizes the state legislatures to call a convention to proposing needed amendments to the Constitution. This process does not require the consent of the federal government in Washington DC.

I support Convention of States; a national movement to call a convention under Article V of the United States Constitution, restricted to proposing amendments that will impose fiscal restraints on the federal government, limit its power and jurisdiction, and impose term limits on its officials and members of Congress.

I want our state to be one of the necessary 34 states to pass a resolution calling for this kind of an Article V convention. You can find a copy of the model resolution and the Article V Pocket Guide (which explains the process and answers many questions) here: https://conventionofstates.com/handbook_pdf

I ask that you support Convention of States and consider becoming a co-sponsor. Please respond to my request by informing the national COS team of your position, or sending them any questions you may have:
