When fashionable liberals casually reveal their true authoritarian natures, consider them.
They did it throughout the COVID scare, once they embraced lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates. And so they do it within the wake of each mass capturing.
Not often, nonetheless, do they go so far as journalist Mike Spies of the anti-gun outlet The Hint.
Wednesday on MSNBC, Spies appeared in a spherical desk dialogue with host Katy Tur and others. Earlier within the day, a transgender assassin had opened fireplace on the Annunciation Catholic Faculty in Minneapolis, Minnesota, killing two youngsters and injuring 17.
Thus, the panelists mentioned the capturing and the way to stop such violence shifting ahead. Naturally — this being MSNBC — they targeted on the weapons and never the mental-health disaster on the root of transgender ideology.
“You need to be sincere and say what’s going to truly work, which is what no one needs to listen to, which is that there are simply merely manner too many firearms, and they’re manner too accessible,” Spies mentioned.
“And so they’re too highly effective?” Tur requested.
“And so they’re too highly effective,” Spies replied, “even handguns too. Once more, that’s why in Australia — it doesn’t matter if it’s not politically acceptable to say it. I’m not right here as a politician or anybody who works in politics. I’m a journalist — whether or not or not you prefer it, the one factor that basically works, should you actually wished to deliver down gun violence, was to do what Australia did and to do what many different nations in Europe do.”

Spies, in fact, didn’t have the integrity to say the total reality out loud. Had he carried out so, he would have used the phrase “confiscation.”
Liberals generally seek advice from Australian-style gun confiscation as if it represents their beau perfect for remaking American society.
In 2023, as an example, then-Vice President Kamala Harris spoke of Australia’s 1996 mass civilian gun confiscation in glowing phrases.
After all, freedom-loving Americans know that the Second Modification protects us before everything from our personal authorities. The Founding Fathers, seeking to historical past somewhat than principle, acknowledged that every one governments have tyrannical propensities if left unchecked.
Furthermore, solely an armed citizen can declare free standing. Ultimately, in case your authorities has disarmed you, then you definitely take pleasure in your “liberties” at your rulers’ sufferance. That makes you a topic, if not a slave.
Many fashionable liberals hate this concerning the U.S. Structure. They would favor that you simply worship secular authorities as a result of they think about themselves in energy. That explains why they stoop so low as to denigrate prayer itself.
Certainly, fashionable liberals hate the First and Second Amendments for a similar cause that no leftist authorities in world historical past has ever expanded freedoms: They despise the folks they want to rule.
In brief, when fashionable liberals communicate of security, they imply submission. They simply not often communicate of the latter as overtly as Spies did.
