Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala,) is completely against any new restrictions on weapons — even concerning military-style assault weapons — as a result of we want them to “take back” our authorities, he defined on Fox News Sunday.
Such motion ought to solely be undertaken within the occasion America turns into “dictatorial,” Brooks instructed host Sandra Smith.
Brooks completely, and utterly baselessly, is satisfied the final presidential election was “stolen” from Donald Trump — which might be thought-about dictatorial.
The lawmaker highlighted that slippery slope when he instantly went at it with Smith, and angrily defended his fantasy of a rigged election.
Smith identified “on the record” that there’s nonetheless “no evidence or proof provided” of a rigged election. “Oh, no, that’s wrong. That is absolutely false,” mentioned Brooks, earlier than Smith corrected him but once more.
Brooks claims the entire thought of the Second Amendment was to arm residents to take over the nation if want be — and that not having sufficient weapons round will spark the urge for food of “dictators.” That didn’t occur, nonetheless, in the course of the 10-year ban on assault weapons that expired in late 2004.
Exactly what the framers had in thoughts regarding defending a “well-regulated militia” within the Second Amendment is not as crystal clear as Brooks contends. Many consider the Constitution is addressing precisely what it says: A “well regulated militia” — and never a bunch of beer-swilling friends at a goal vary with hyper-deadly assault rifles.
