Schakowsky: Assault Weapons Ban 'Just the Beginning'
Big Government ^ | 11 mar 2013

Posted on 03/11/2013 6:50:54 AM PDT by rellimpank

Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), a member of the Democratic Party’s leadership in the House of Representatives, suggested to Jason Mattera at a Feb. 13 women’s rights rally that plans for an assault weapons ban and private-sales background checks were only the beginning of a broader gun control agenda extending to handguns as well.

Schakowsky evidently did not recognize Mattera, a conservative video journalist and senior investigative reporter for Talk Radio Network, who infamously confronted Vice President Joe Biden in the Capitol. (Mattera introduced himself to Schakowsky by name but did not indicate that he was filming or that he is conservative.) She spoke to Mattera as if he were a fellow gun control enthusiast--and Mattera played along, eliciting answers about Schakowsky’s enthusiasm for gun control.

Jan is dangerously ignorant, yet keeps getting re-elected.

Anybody with a lick of common sense knows the end game is confiscation.

These commies are coming out of the closet big time! Won’t be long before they’re wearing “Che” shirts into the Capitol. Nothing is stopping them from screaming their hideous beliefs from the roof tops.

Look for any restrictive gun control laws to land up in the courts.

Speaking of the dazzlingly ignorant Schakowsky, how’s her favorite WLSAM radio host, Don Wade, doing? I haven’t heard anything since he announced his surgery.

Courts? A judge will be the least of their problems if they keep pushing.

People are too afraid of being told their fears are “absurd” when you forthrightly state that the goal is confiscation.

And I’ll beg to differ with you on your use of the phrase “end game”. No, disarming the citizenry is JUST THE BEGINNING, not the end, of their “game”.

They need to be called on that, as well.

“Why do you want or need a disarmed citizenry? What are you going to do once people are defenseless?”

And we know who the judges are in these courts. How did that Obamacare case come out, what with a conservative Chief Justice and all?

Still it will land up in the courts, one way or another.

Most dems are like Jan - they're careful to only share how they really feel with fellow travelers... Tacky little lowlifes... Too bad the MSM covers for these people...

Know this: The ‘Assault Weapon’ Scam is just a means to ban ALL guns.

It’s just the Pro-Tyranny Left’s way of destroying a Constitutional right by simply re-labeling the object of that right as some thing else – something that can be demonized and destroyed.

Another prime example would be the terms ‘Hate Speech’, ‘High Capacity’ or ‘Military Style’.

Ask Pro-Tyranny Leftists to define these arbitrary terms – they will be incapable of giving you an exact answer because there is none.

Ask Pro-Tyranny Leftists to spell out the differences between the deliberately vague term ‘Assault Weapon’ and what is protected by the God-given and Constitutionally right to keep and bear arms and you’ll roll snake eyes on that on as well.

Fact is, the Pro-Tyranny Left cannot specify what these phrases mean because they are deliberately indefinable.

[unless you use these the phrase “Shoulder thing that goes up”, - that’s the exception /sarc.]

Which speaks volumes about her constituents. Including the living ones.

Jan was regularly on the Don and Roma show on WLS-AM (Chicago) where Don would take her to task on routine basis. She would show her ignorance with each call, and disclose her real self - pretty scary stuff.....

I agree that ANY gun control legislation will certainly be the “beginning of the end” for the socialist who have infected our Government! Every American needs to step up NOW and say “this far, NO MORE!

The only way to take back your government is to TAKE BACK YOUR government. As an example, this liberal socialist just got caught [conspiring] to violate her “oath of office” on video, this is an impeachable offense. Why no “articles of impeachment” are not forth coming immediately removing her sick demented a$$? Articles of impeachment originate in the US House of Representatives as I understand it. This would put every socialist on notice, the American people have had enough and will not take it any more!

If Americans cannot use the law to protect their Constitutional Rights, then, the only recourse they have is force to keep their “control” over this our of control government who views every American as a [subject] and not the “employer!”
