HUGE: Tulsi Gabbard on the Second Amendment: Why our right "shall not be infringed"
YouTube ^ | Nov 3 | Tulsi

Posted on 11/03/2022 12:20:02 PM PDT by RandFan

Tulsi Gabbard tackles the second amendment and her history with gun rights. The former Hawaii Congresswoman and combat veteran explains what experiences caused her to rethink her previously held views.

SOME QUOTES:

"I once thought that's not something we would never have to do in America.. Protect ourselves against a tyrannical government? This is the land of the free!".

"The right to bear arms IS the deterrent that our Founders intended to push back against government tyranny".

"My views on the 2A have changed over the years".

Why, Tulsi, why are you still trying sooo hard to make me like you?

I want to like you, and you are saying all the right things I want to hear, and you certainly are easy on these old tired eyes.

But gosh darn it, Tulsi, I still don't trust you...

If she runs for Pres. as an I, say hello rat Pres.

Seems like half the pubs like her and half hate her.

If we start by establishing a baseline in which we don't trust as single one of them, I think she's off to a decent "new" start.

Finger in the wind is detecting a change in direction it would appear...

Ok, so she’s changed her tune on guns. #2 is abortion. Let’s see.

Yep. She is running for something

I dont trust her. People can change, no doubt. And we need to accept that people can change.

But I tend to be suspicious of people who change for political reasons and not strictly personal ones (ie value changes)

It is the difference between sticking your finger in the air to see which way the wind is going, and believing in your heart something because it is a core principle.

I will not be fooled this easily by an attractive woman. Being a guy, I am susceptible to those things, but I refuse to allow it in this case.

That would instantly put me firmly in the "half hate her" club. Matter of fact, the whole "half" part would probably disappear here and we'd unite against her for sure.

Trump was a democrat.

Tulsi needs to prove herself.

How about the rights of the unborn and newly born? Sorry, but I’m no impressed by anything she says until she recants her well-known animosity of the unborn.

I think this is what she is going for. She can’t really run for anything else can she?

Cabinet position, too. I guess there’s that.

She’s already moved far ahead of any RINO I can think of in my estimation.

People who were once enemies, but have been converted make the strongest evangelists there are.

I will continue to watch her positions, but the fact she has publicly come out strongly against the likes of Brennan, Comey, the CIA, the FBI, and FOR Assange tells me she is NOT a friend of the deep state.

Reagan used to be a Rat. Who knows? I’m still skeptical. But people change. We shall see.

Alot of my democrat friends voted for Bammy. They turned Republican by the end of his first term

I live in the DC suburbs. (Deep, deep blue)

There are Repub signs everywhere!! Never seen anything like this before.

Cox is our gubernatorial candidate. Tons of “Dems for Cox” and “Parents for Cox” signs.

I’m praying.

Same here. BUT, when a politician changes for political reasons, how many times does he insist he hasn't changed at all? That he's always held that position. That quotes from his past were simply taken out of context? That's what a no-good lying politician does.

When a politician comes out and ADMITS they were wrong and has the guts to go on and explain the how and the why, they are either a truly changed person, or a very skilled politician.

She hasn't won me over either. But I can tell you for a fact I'd trade her for Liz Cheney.

Two terms as a Republican Governor of California gave Reagan the bonafides.
