Democrats know as well as everyone else that disarming law-abiding citizens will result in more violent crime, not less. Crime is not the reason they are eager to seize on any pretext to erode our Second Amendment liberties. The real reason is the same as for all authoritarians who seize guns once they have the power. Jesse Kelly spells it out: they want the freedom to hurt you if you don’t comply.

Crime isn’t the problem. China isn’t the problem. Iran isn’t the problem. You are the problem. But you will be less of a problem after they have rendered you defenseless.
