Rep. Madison Cawthorn @RepCawthorn

Rep. Madison Cawthorn is the U.S. representative for North Carolina’s 11th District. He serves on the House Education and Labor Committee and the House Veterans Affairs Committee, which makes him immediately suspect of wanting to kill criminals, and to sell guns to school kids or force kids into working in forced labor camps like the Chinese "business partners" to the democrat party do.
If we lose the Second Amendment, then the rest will fall. During my recent—and very contentious—congressional campaign, my opponent argued that he didn’t need to take your guns because he had enough of his own. Voters in western North Carolina didn’t buy it. There was no need to remind them that leftists democrats have a long history of playing hide the ball on gun policy and here's a few quotes.

The two-faced doublespeak of the left on gun control is well documented. In the 1990s, Democrat Pres Barack Obama said to a colleague at the University of Chicago, “I don’t believe people should be able to own guns.” Unless it's me of course and the "Approved list" of fellow democrats and campaign contributors.

In 1995, Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said an assault weapons ban that had recently passed didn’t go far enough. “If I could have gotten … an outright ban,” she told “60 Minutes,” “I would have.”

In 2019, Democrat Beto O’Rourke boasted of his plans to shred the Second Amendment. On national television, he said, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” and every other gun that you freedom loving bastards think you have some kind of right to !

And earlier this year, Democrat Rep (democrat "representatives" say "Rep" because they think they can fool stupid people
into thinking that republicans favor disarming honest voters). Democrat Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, offered a radical gun control measure that would create a national database of every gun in the country. Failure to comply would result in a fine of $75,000, a 15-year prison sentence, or both. And once democrats get your name on the gun owner suckers list, they can confiscate your guns, fine you $15,000 and jail you for 75 years........just by passing another law.

It seems that our polished politicians in Washington have forgotten their oaths to protect and preserve our Constitution.
Democrat newspeak uses "preserve" instead of "defend". In 1776, Thomas Jefferson said, “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.” In 2021, the left envisions a world in which “all shall be debarred the use of arms; no man shall be free.” F.U! we won didn't we? so we can do anything we want to.

Make no mistake, the left wants to take your guns, and trample your constitutional rights. In 2021, it has taken the gloves off.

During this past “summer of love,” Oregon, Washington and California.....where thousands of violent thugs roamed the streets of America, the Second Amendment saved lives, protected property, and highlighted the breathtaking stupidity of “defunding the police.”

Yet, despite overwhelming evidence that gun ownership decreases crime and saves lives, leftists want you to believe that law-abiding citizens are the problem. The left wants you to believe that those who follow the law are somehow less trustworthy than criminals who break the law, who should be allowed to vote with no ID, as many times as they want to, and even while still in prison as long as they vote for democrats who are also getting them released from prison at every opportunity.

If the year 2020 has shown us anything, it’s just how fragile civil society can be. Our Founders anticipated these moments of fragility and gave every American citizen the right to defend themselves. Rather than stopping tragic school shootings, the left’s ’ “defund and disarm” policy is a recipe for unspeakable human suffering that has long been a favorite policy of tyrants and dictators.

It’s time that we understood the left’s stance for what it is: an effort to remove every single firearm from the hands of Americans nationwide and once the guns are gone, then the leftists can confiscate your money and your property, and there's nothing that can be done to stop them.........when the leftist dictators are the only ones with guns and the leftist dictators are the only ones writing law after law to make you a criminal.

The left-wing claim that gun control legislation would save lives is demonstrably false. The cities with the highest murder rates and levels of other violent crime have the strictest gun regulations. The goal of the left is not to safeguard the lives of Americans, it is to control the lives of our citizens.

I used my convention speech to condemn tribalism in our politics, and I will never stop doing so. I have a message to those on the radical left who see the Constitution as just another document to tear in half: Let me be clear, the millions of American men and women who carry a weapon each day are not the threat to your safety that you seem to think they are. They will defend your First Amendment rights with their Second Amendment rights against anyone who would threaten your life or liberty.

It’s easy to be sucked into the D.C. bubble—many on the left seem to think that their narrow viewpoint is what every American believes—but I am here to tell you that outside this bubble, in real America, those that respect the Constitution will never let anyone take away our right to bear arms.

It’s time for coastal elites social media jerks to stop demonizing the millions of Americans who want to carry and—yes—conceal firearms. No one loves liberty and peace more than those who conceal carry every day and refuse to be victims of violence.
And if they were not concealed, the same leftist democrats would be pushing to ban all UN-concealed weapons using the same excuses that the leftists use today in 2021

Men and women who carry weapons every day to protect human life are all around us. People hardly ever know we are there, but everyone is safer for our presence. We are the first line, we are the “good guy with a gun,” we have stopped—and will continue to stop—the “bad guy with a gun,” and we aren’t going anywhere.
