Tim Walz is citing weapons he by no means carried in wars he by no means fought to justify his radical anti-gun insurance policies.
Walz needs common background checks, authorities sponsored anti-gun analysis, Crimson Flag legal guidelines, an finish to concealed-carry reciprocity and the confiscation of ARs, which he calls “weapons of warfare.”
“I spent 25 years within the Military, and I hunt … I’ve been voting for widespread sense laws that protects the Second Modification, however we will do background checks. We are able to do CDC analysis. We are able to ensure that we don’t have reciprocal carry amongst states, and we will guarantee that these weapons of warfare, that I carried in warfare, is the one place the place these weapons are at,” mentioned throughout a 2018 speech that was posted this week on social media by the Harris-Walz marketing campaign.
Kamala Harris has no gun-control insurance policies – or insurance policies of any form – at the moment listed on her marketing campaign web site, however she performs an integral function in Joe Biden’s warfare on weapons and gun rights. Prior to now, she has known as for obligatory buybacks of “assault weapons.” That is nothing greater than political-speak for compelled confiscation of personal property by armed brokers of the federal government, which violates the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
The Harris-Walz marketing campaign’s radical anti-gun views have drawn reward and assist from different likeminded radicals, particularly David Hogg.
Hogg’s anti-gun equipment is already sending textual content messages to hundreds of thousands of younger individuals fundraising for Harris and Walz:
Hello, I’m David Hogg, co-founder of March for Our Lives and Leaders We Deserve.
The work to mobilize younger individuals throughout the nation to assist Vice President Harris and Governor Tim Walz is going on proper now – not in September or October.
Younger voters’ pleasure throughout the web and in battleground states is palpable, however we should flip this enthusiasm into votes.

The hyperlink whisks potential donors straight to ActBlue, which claims it has raised greater than $14 billion since 2004 for “Democratic candidates & progressive causes throughout the nation.”
Deserving Leaders PAC
Hogg described his Leaders We Deserve PAC as “a grassroots group devoted to electing younger progressives to Congress and State Legislatures throughout the nation to assist defeat the far-right agenda and advance a progressive imaginative and prescient for the longer term.”

Hogg claimed his PAC will “establish and endorse younger, dynamic, various, distinctive progressive candidates who’re 30 years outdated and below for State Legislature, and 35 years outdated and below for Congress.
Hogg doesn’t say how Kamala Harris, 59, or Tim Walz, 60, might be described as youthful, audacious or charismatic.
Leaders We Deserve has posted solely two instances on its Twitter/X account because it joined the location in July 2023. Its Fb web page has 6,500 followers, but it surely too has solely two posts.
Its 60-person advisory board is made up of dedicated anti-gun Democrats, together with Senator Chris Murphy, Representatives Jamie Raskin, Ayanna Pressley, Rosa DeLauro, Jamaal Bowman and Eric Swalwell. Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Lecturers, former Washington D.C. police officer Michael Fanone, actress Alyssa Milano, Gail Schwartz, chair of Ban Assault Weapons Now, Ashley Lantz, govt director of Brady PAC, and Kate Moore, political director of Giffords additionally serve on the board.

Hogg’s better-known nonprofit, March for Our Lives, was integrated in 2018 and has greater than $1.3 million in belongings, in keeping with Guidestar.
“Born out of a tragic faculty taking pictures, March for Our Lives is a brave youth-led motion devoted to selling civic engagement, schooling, and direct motion by youth to get rid of the epidemic of gun violence,” the location claims.

Clearly, Hogg’s claims that he’ll assist elect “younger, dynamic, various” candidates are bunk. He helps gun-grabbers no matter their age. Harris and Walz are utilizing him to focus on younger individuals. They need their cash.
Joe Biden could have been essentially the most anti-gun president within the historical past of the nation however primarily based upon their radical insurance policies and entry to funds, Harris and Walz could be far worse.
