Mothers organization wants Colorado governor to ban ALL guns in direct violation of US Constitution
05/09/2023 // JD Heyes // Views

It never ceases to amaze us how liberals use one constitutionally guaranteed right to try to get another one banned.

Case in point: Here 4 the Kids, a gun control group comprised of mothers, is using its First Amendment right to speak and express itself freely to press Colorado Democratic Gov. Jared Polis to ban all guns in the state, in direct contravention of the Second Amendment.

The mothers are hoping a “group of 25,000 will come together for a sit-in at the state Capitol” on June 5 to demand all guns be banned, 9 News reported this week.

The group's website notes: “We demand that Colorado Governor Jared Polis sign an executive order to ban guns and buy them back.”

The group's website further makes this a race thing.

“We are not an organization. This movement is an unexplored and unprecedented action, led by black and brown women with a team of white women working behind the scenes, to end gun violence in the United States," it says.

The Here 4 the Kids website has been criticized for making a false claim that "guns are the number one killer of children in the United States," explained Awr Hawkins at Breitbart News.

The claim is based on a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study that includes 18 and 19-year-olds as children, which allows the study to show firearm-related deaths of children ages 0-19 totaling 4,368 in 2020, compared to 4,036 motor vehicle deaths for the same age range. However, when adjusted for ages 0-17, the number of firearm-related deaths for children in 2020 is 2,281, while the number of motor vehicle deaths for the same age group is 2,503, he added.

Hawkins noted that at the same time, left-wing anti-gun crusader David Hogg posted this nonsense: "I’m literally part of the shooting club at my college and was in a skeet competition just a few weekends ago. That day I used well over 100 shells, then disassembled, cleaned and locked up the 12 gauge I used. Please save it. No one is coming for your guns."

As an American, Hogg can own a gun and, under the confines of the law, do with it what he pleases. But as Second Amendment advocates have frequently reminded leftist anti-gunners, the Second Amendment was not written and adopted so that early Americans' right to shoot at targets was protected. It was adopted as a means of preventing the central or state governments from becoming tyrannical.

The Amendment, which states that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed," has been the subject of numerous legal challenges, political debates, and public controversies since its adoption in 1791. It was based on the English Bill of Rights of 1689, which declared that Protestants had the right to bear arms for their defense.

One of the most contentious issues surrounding the Second Amendment is its legal interpretation. Some scholars argue that the Amendment protects an individual's right to bear arms, while others claim that it only protects the right to bear arms as part of a well-regulated militia. This debate came to a head in the landmark Supreme Court case of District of Columbia v. Heller, in which the Court held that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm for self-defense.

It has also taken on significant cultural and symbolic importance in American society. For many Americans, the right to bear arms is a fundamental aspect of their identity and a symbol of their commitment to individual liberty and self-reliance.

But more than anything, it is a fundamental right that cannot be taken away by left-wing activists and mothers or by the stroke of a governor's pen.
