During a congressional hearing on Thursday, radical progressive Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) accused Republicans of having a “perverted view of the Second Amendment,” implying that they do not “value lives over toys.”
This woman is either ignorant, evil, or both. Anyone who describes a firearm as a “toy” should not be involved in a discussion about the Second Amendment.
“Students being murdered at their desks is not enough for them to value lives over toys. Republicans want the US to have an even higher share of the world’s gun supply. They don’t want common-sense regulations on gun ownership. Their perverted view of the Second Amendment compels them to argue against reasonable restrictions,” Bush said.
There is no such thing as a “common sense regulation” when the Second Amendment declares, “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
WATCH:
The so-called "insurrectionist" view of the Second Amendment is the indisputably correct one. The Second Amendment exists as a guard against tyranny. To argue otherwise is completely ahistorical.

When Democrats use the term “common sense regulation”, they mean that the very act of denying your right to keep and bear arms is common sense. They say common sense so that people won’t argue with them about what they want to do to your rights. Who would argue against common sense? The problem is nothing liberals put forward on the Second Amendment is common sense to the overwhelming majority of Americans.
Bush added, “We will not succumb to the nihilist, insurrectionist view of the Second Amendment. We will not allow the apologists for gun violence to win. We will double down on a public health response to the public health emergency that is gun violence in our country.”
During the hearing, Bush had a personal experience with gun violence, stating that an “abusive partner” shot at her in her early twenties. That sounds awful, but it doesn’t justify taking guns away from law-abiding gun owners. It would justify taking a gun away from the person who shot at her because he broke the law using a gun. But Cori Bush wants to take away everyone’s right to keep and bear arms. It would be no different than proposing that no one could have a bank account because someone robbed a bank.
