Damn, Trump messed up… Banned Bump Stocks Signed “Fix NICS” Supported Red Flag Laws Supported Expanding Background Checks(Registration) with Toomy-Machin Supported TAPS Act Told Sen. Feinstein to include “Assault Weapons” ban in School Safety Bill “Take the guns first, go through due process second”… President Donald Trump 2/28/18
Biden: "... to take on the government, you need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons." Did the Taliban have either of those in Afghanistan? Case closed! Let's go Brandon!
In the American Revolution a bunch of rag-tag farmers, who ended up boiling eating their shoes, took on the most powerful army and navy in the world, and won decisively. It's all about motivation.
This is the biggest problem a lot of folks in the 2A community have with Tulsi. Her voting record while in Congress doesn’t show a lot of support for the 2A, but she’s done an about face in the last few years so it’s a tough call on where she actually stands.
She is changing because she is watching the situation and if more politicians did that and had the courage to think for themselves things would change faster. George Washington warned us of the evils of political parties and the division they cause and even back then we did not heed his words and look where we are at now.
They should have a problem with Tulsi because she does want changes.....Have you ever heard her say OUTRIGHT?..."I don't want any changes to the 2nd amendment or new restrictions applied to it period" .....THE ANSWER IS NO!!!!!
I'm curious if you guys ask Trump this. I trust Tulsi more than Trump with guns. Trump avoids the subject. I trust both of them more than Kamala but I wonder when has Trump talked about the 2nd Amendment?
She didn’t suddenly become a millionaire or enriched herself while she was in office… She isn’t preaching to the choir like many in the 2A community where it’s just an echo chamber & not getting their message across the aisle.
Tulsi and Trump are way stronger on the first amendment then the average Republican. However they aren't the biggest gun nuts but they always stand for freedom so I trust them with the 2nd Amendment.
I’m willing to give you another chance Tulsi, but unfortunately some won’t. I hope you really have had a change of thinking. I appreciate your love of our country and believe you would make an excellent VP.
The late great Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th POTUS, and IMHO, the greatest American POTUS of my life-time thus far (1964 ~ 2024), was a former Democrat. Good things! 👍
@@kevinschmidt2210The point he is making and why would you make laws that restrict law abiding citizens when they have clearly not been the problem because you think it will stop criminals even though like this person has stated criminals do not follow laws so how do you think making laws that target citizens will stop them?
Get back to us when that actually happens. Meanwhile, it belongs in the same 'never going to happen' category with the prediction of the second coming.
@@kevinschmidt2210 lol...We dont have to get back to you, you can take it on faith "We will NEVER let it happen" Oh you don't have faith.....Well then you can bet your little pink panties then!!!
@@loveamerica2828 If you admit it will never happen, then what the hell are you talking about? You admit Democrats will never try to grab our gunz, but you accuse them anyway. Gun Nutz are the nuttiest! "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." By the way, you're the only one here thinking about "your little pink panties." Gun nuts are like that. Very telling. Your Freudian slip is also showing. LOL!
You have to leave the door open. Since the 'rona hit, I have had friends come to me after many years of disagreement on this issue and while they haven't necessarily just accepted defeat, they have expressed a greater willingness to hear my side of things. It's a loooong game.
Second amendment is absolute!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERIOD!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎 If you couldn't imagine a tyrannical government I would have to suggest that you weren't paying attention. I'm glad you figured it out. Hopefully you won't repeat some of your voting record. Peace sister 💟 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Really? If it were absolute the pro-2nd community would take every word of it because “In expounding the Constitution of the United States, every word must have its due force, and appropriate meaning, for it is evident from the whole instrument, that no word was unnecessarily used, or needlessly added. *** Every word appears to have been weighed with the utmost deliberation and its force and effect to have been fully understood.” - Williams v. United States, 289 U.S. 553, 572-573, quoting from Holmes v. Jennison, 39 U.S. (14 Peters) 540, 570-571 The purpose of the 2nd, as the court ruled years ago was to guarantee that Article I, Section 8, Clauses 15 & 16 are fulfilled by "We the People". But of course, as I've learned in bumping heads with lawyers and leaders of pro-2nd groups, is that no one actually wants to perform the Duty commanded by the Constitution that enforces and protects all our rights. Going out and performing your Constitutional Duty is just too much for the vast, vast majority.
She's not in any office anymore so it really doesn't matter unless she decides to win some election in future. Currently she is a pretty pundit that flipped from Sander Populism to Trump Populism. She talks like a true statesperson at least, but currently, like RFKjr it is TALK.
Yeah, absolute!!!!!!!!!! That is why one must first be well regulated before one gains the right to keep and bear arms. Hundreds of long standing constitutional gun laws prove it!
@kevinschmidt2210 I know you aren't particularly intelligent, but the phrase "well regulated," in 1791 simply meant well equipped with that equipment in good working order. Most gun laws are unconstitutional. The key sentence in the Second Amendment reads: "The RIGHT to keep and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED." That is the strongest, most powerful language in the entire Constitution.
@@kevinschmidt2210One more thing, Democrat... our Rights are inherent. Our Rights come from God, not the government. The entire purpose of the Bill of Rights, the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution, is to guarantee and protect our Basic Human Rights FROM the government. Keeping and bearing arms is a Constitutionally guaranteed and protected Basic Human Right! Now run along. The adults are still talking.
I am a 43y/o former OIF I & OIF II infantry Marine, born and raised in Oklahoma, around and with guns my entire life, even dabbled in the industry. I've always been a right-wing Conservative Republican with strong Libertarian leanings. I could never agree with most things in the Democrat platform. When I first saw Tulsi early in the 2019 Democrat primaries I liked and respected a lot about her but not her then party platform. I believe she has had an honest evolution of thinking and of heart. The gun community is a very skeptical and jaded and slow forgiving community (for good reasons). Its going to be a long hard sell to win them over...but well worth it in the end. Very hard. Many take pride in their blind stubborness. I personally like Tulsi and give her the benefit of the doubt, even with other views we probably disagree on. I believe she's seen the light after being on the receiving end of the Left's ire. I hope we don't turn away a great potential asset because of our unforgiveness, for lack of better words.
Personally, I believe in Tulsi’s change of heart. I did the same. About 12 years ago I was an anti-gun youngster that didn’t know better. One just have to look at my playlists to see that I took a completely 180° on that position. I started collecting guns as a hobby like cycling or diving but gradually understood the significance of owning them and how lucky we are compared to most countries where citizens can’t have them. Why I’m not worried about Tulsi’s past positions on firearms legislation: in recent times, most gun control bills passed under Republican administrations. When a democrat tries to pass legislation, we stand up and pressure our representatives. When it’s a Republican in office, we complain but the majority let it slide, because at least it’s “our guy” in power. Democrats’ strategy now is not to pass unpopular laws, but to create “regulations” through unelected bureaucrats in the ATF. A quick reminder of gun control in recent history: FOPA/1986 - Ronald Reagan, the largest firearms regulation since LBJ 68’s Gun Control Act and FDR 34’s National Firearms Act. FIREARMS IMPORTS BAN/1989 - George Bush Senior Assault Weapons Ban/1994 - Signed by Clinton and almost renewed by W. Bush until he lost the House in 2006 and saw it wasn’t popular with his base. Bump Stock Ban/2018 - Although limited in scope compared to the ones above, it shows that Donald T. Is not an ardent 2A supporter.
Tulsi cosponsored the bump stock ban. I am glad to see she has changed her position, there is no good reasoning for violating any of the bill of rights.
One correction: G W Bush did not lose the White House in 2006. He served 2 full terms. The House and Senate went from Republican control to Democrat control after the 2006 midterm elections.
Johnson passed that 68 Act in response to all the political assassinations that were happening and the violence in the ghettos and urban cities. People have to take in account what was happening in this country which caused those acts to be passed.
There was a time when I thought that taking up arms against a tyrannical government here in America was laughable. After what we have witnessed the past ten / twelve years, it is becoming evident that if we don't change course, that may become a very real occurrence. I fear for my grandchildren, I really do.
@@kevinschmidt2210 It's (painfully) obvious that you are not particularly intelligent, but the American people have taken on the world's most powerful army and navy before, and ran them out of America and back across the Atlantic! I love our military, but under current leadership they got their asses kicked in Afghanistan.
Americans can own fully automatic weapons. All it takes is passing an enhanced background check and paying some hefty fees. Frankly it's almost better to go ahead and get your Federal Firearm Dealer's License and then buy the rifles you want.
@@garyjackson3531 That is good because there is a higher level of accountability for more dangerous automatic firearms, which is constitutional because of the "well regulated" clause in 2A. Preventing unhinged, treason hungry gun nuts like kennethschauer from owning automatic weapons is constitutional and a good thing. Preventing everyone from owning them is unconstitutional.
@@garyjackson3531 You are not particularly intelligent if you think your pathetic automatic pea shooters can take out a drone. I've seen them in action. You can't win. That's just one superior weapon they have that you don't. By the way, the CIA controlled the world heroin trade while in Afghanistan. They made out and so did the military industrial complex. Only the taxpayers got their asses kicked, as always in every war of choice.
She didn't dodge the question with the typical political doublespeak. She acknowledges the suspicion and accepts it. She also makes an important point, if we can't leave room for people to change their positions through becoming better informed, then where do go from here? I'd rather give her a shot and be wrong than push a RINO who will talk a good game and then throw the vote when it counts and make excuses.
Most of us were forced to vote for Romney in the general because Obama was not good for America. Romney, however, may not have been the least bit better.
@@jpg_sig10 He has proven to be a big disappointment, no doubt, but given the choice at the time, it was the right thing to do. Obama, is the worst potus ever because he HATES the US.
You are correct however I would like to hear #MORE on her change in position on Multiple topics/views she held while she was democrat.....it's the ONLY way to know if Tulsi is for real or just a Democrat plant...a.k.a RINO
In many ways they are more enlightened than we are. But the resolution for that is approaching rapidly. When they demand I turn mine in I will become a felon.
I am a woman from a blue state who has also evolved on this issue & appreciate Tulsi's ability to effectively explain the WHY to others who may need to hear it. I am now a proud 2A Absolutist, people are waking up!! 💯🇺🇲🙌
We don't have the luxury of time - Obama / Clinton H (who calls the WH every single day) are running the USA into the ground, selling us all out and destroying our economy. Soon there won't be anything left worth defending.
@@LibertymovementNJ I believe that Tulsi is more recognizable nation wide and can swing more independent votes than a pure Republican ticket. The advantages I see Kristi having over Tulsi is having a proven record as governor and being from the Midwest, where the election will likely be decided (besides Georgia and Arizona, of course).
One thing with Tulsi, even when she was on debates talking about banning rifles and as much as I hated it, she always seemed honest in her intent instead of of just towing the echo chamber lines. I hope we all get wiser. If we dont want people to change then all 2A influencers should stop doing what they are doing. She would be a front runner power player for the DNC right now if she followed toed the line. She didnt. She has learned and I hope more people take her path. Our government is out of control. We should have the same firearms they have. The way the founding fathers and the good Lord wanted.
I have a background of a red state republican (Tennessee), and you have a background as a blue state democrat, but I think you do a decent job of explaining your point of view and how it's evolved. I don't trust the government, but I vote in every election and could definitely see potentially voting for you. Who knows? These are crazy times. Thank you for your service to the country and good luck in your endeavors.
Tulsi, you're one of the only people that is in, or has been in, D.C. that I actually, genuinely, like. Your honesty and humility is inspiring. Please continue to learn and grow and put America First. You have my support for any office you run for.
Thank you for addressing this directly...again. Many of my friends and family are on the fence about you because of your old stance on the 2nd. I've been living in Hawaii for nearly 20 years. I saw the change in your direction, before your Presidential campaign. I extend my deepest thanks and welcome you to the independets and moderates. We need politicians to be more open minded like yourself. Aloha and many mahalos!
@@jpg_sig10 People change, opinions change. That is the exact point that the bro's are making. If you're not accepting new people coming from other ideologies, backgrounds, and beliefs...there is no point. we have to grow...we can't win elections with the same amount of votes every 2/4 years.
@jasonpearce5385 As I'm often known to remind folks, Ronald Reagan was once a Democrat, too, but he grew wiser and went on to become the greatest POTUS of my lifetime, IMHO. Doesn't change the fact that I knew Branden was a lying corrupt PoS in 2020 (really, I knew that about him decades ago). I do very much appreciate and respect Tulsi Gabbard's service to, and her love for our country. I'm sorry for her (former) lack of understanding about the meaning of and need for our Second Amendment. It's not terribly surprising, considering where she grew up. If Donald Trump taps Tulsi Gabbard for the VPOTUS post, I would certainly support her as his running mate.
So many good thoughtful comments here for and against Tulsi. I've been listening to her for three years now, and I finally believe her. I too was outspoken against her due to her voting record and support of Biden. I'm ready to let her prove herself. Oh and BTW, it's MODERN SPORTING RIFLE, not ASSAULT WEAPON, there is no selector switch or full auto MSR...
Tulsi, you continue to impress me. You may not know this but I am very cautious about supporting you, based of course on your past stances. It takes a special and strong person to show the common sense growth that you're showing! We need more people like you.
“We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing." - Abraham Lincoln 1864. They all declare for the Second Amendment, but in using the same words we do not all mean the same thing. Please talk about ARs and their standard magazines now. Even Elmer Fudd believes people can have double-barrel shotguns. Surprisingly, the interviewer never asks about that.
This seems to be a very poignant conversation between individuals that actually care for the betterment of our society. I’d love to know which podcast you appeared on to follow the whole conversation
To what extent does she "support the 2nd Amendment"? Does she support the public's right to keep and carry AR15s and AK47s, Standard capacity 20 and 30 round magazines, semi-auto handguns that use 15-30 round magazines? How about fully automatic machine guns? To WHAT EXTENT is her support of the 2nd Amendment.
She said she wouldn’t vote the same way now. That’s good enough for me. Let stop making people grovel to be on our side. And we wonder why we’re losing?
Has she said anywhere that she would not support any bans on firearms ? I don't recall she made that declaration here in this video interview. I'm waiting to hear her say it before I would support her in any capacity.
One of the greatest roadblocks to any attempt at dialog about any issue is that one or both parties do not really want to agree to common language and common rules of discussion. We saw this with all of Bill Clinton's equivocation about the meanings of common words that are commonly understood and accepted by the average person. That type of equivocatinf and disdain for common rules and common language has the effect of undermining and destroying social mores, commonality, and social harmony. That destructive behavior turns things chaotic, and from that chaos the equivocators try to raise a different form of government and society that is built on the ashes of what the equivocators seek to destroy,. Those attackers want to destroy our society, our Constitution, and our tenuous way of life in this our constitutional republic. Only those souls who are willing to commonly discuss and commonly work on our social problems are ever going to preserve anything that we value. No fence-sitter ever built or defended anything. The only way we can be successful in our efforts to save Theae United States of America is to get involved constitutionally and continue to be constitutionally involved in our society. Everyone who waits for someone else to do the hard work of responsible US Citizenship is a passive weight that is dragging down and killing off everyone who is actively working to save our US Constitution.
I remember when Trump was writing big campaign donation checks to Hillary, Harry Reid, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, and even Kamala Harris! Trump was a Democrat until 2015.
Diminish or abolish the TSA. When I fly, I buy my plane ticket through the airline, not the government. Flying is not enough probable cause to search every single person’s bag. Put the burden on the airlines themselves to ensure a safe and secure flight. They can report suspicious activities to the police, if there are any. The TSA should be unconstitutional.
@@markg6914 Airlines do gate bag searches all the time. I travel for work internationally, and for flights from some countries back to the USA it is required that the airline searches bags at the gate, for example when returning from El Salvador. If the bag search identifies something suspicious they can report it to the police who can investigate the report. This is what happens when you enter any building with private security. It can be done the same way for airlines.
Politicians need to stand up in these hearings. Loudly, this law is illegal, it violates the constitution and explain it. They try to argue reasoning, what about this or that. No, the law is illegal.
I appreciate Tulsi going on Drinkin Bros, more than likely knowing Dan's strong criticism of her over her past stance on 2A and basically making it known that people can (and should be afforded the right to) change.
3:37 People who abuse the law which is a right lose their rights. It's that simple. It's not my fault. It's not your fault that somebody committed it crime with the right They inherit..
Refreshing to hear her speak. She doesn't just rehash soundbites. I learned over a long life that it's true that when someone explains something in their own words, they understand it. I found when I'd give an employee an order, I'd say "Tell me in your own words what I want you to do" and depending on how they responded I could tell if they grasped the task. Tulsi grasps the scope and task, period.
I’m a conservative republican. I am a member of the NRA. I live in a restrictive state with firearms. Which we are trying to over turn. Democrats come up with new laws to restrict firearms. Why not enforce the laws on the books currently. Why doe need more laws. We need to hold parents accountable for there kids actions when they grab a gun and do something. We need to hold video game manufacturers accountable. The kids play these games and mimic what they see.
I love Drinkin Bros podcast. I was really happy to see her on there. I trust politicians about as far as I can throw them, but I hope she means what she said.
I want to trust you Tulsi. I do. But your speech is so carefully crafted, and it's sometimes what you stop short of saying out loud, that makes me hesitate. Yes, people deserve to be forgiven. Yes, change can and does happen. But all too often, politicians just lie and then change when they've been elected.
Well Tusi, your saying all the right things. However with out action, it's just words from a politician. I want to give you a chance, so lets see the action. Then and only then will we know if your are indeed genuine.
I like TG but she needs to SHOW not just talk about her new position on the 2nd, maybe NRA, GOA, etc. So many politicians have claimed to support the 2nd but when they get into office it becomes "common sense" measures, so its unfortunate we cant just take someone's word on it.
i believe Tulsi's change of heart because of her zeal for evangelism. It's become an encouragement to me in the new dark ages to listen to the commentary of red-pilled people of various backgrounds who all have that same desire to open the eyes of those who believe the same things they once did.
I think it is the right opportunity to take the time to bring up the fact that the constitutional rights and bill of rights civil rights high school needs to teach it and with no doubt what is law and fictional and the connection that people need to have to learn what and how our government is run
We need to hear WHY, Your Epiphany as to what made you change your mind. As a Retired Army Vet, I really want to hear you tell us your reason(s). Gun Owners have for decades now been yelling about Over Reach, What opened your eyes to this? Something you could do is to assist SSSF, GOA & FPC with fundraising or speaking at any events they have.
You need to forward this to the guy you were talking to, this is Epic. Feel free to copy and use this. There once was a man who moved to Alaska. When he got there and saw all of the Grizzly Bears roaming freely throughout the countryside, he said to himself, I need to buy an Arm powerful enough to defend myself against these Grizzly Bears. So when he went to the Gun Shop he was Appalled at what he was allowed to buy and he said to the owner, why aren't you selling Arms suitable for me to defend myself against these Grizzly Bears. He said to the man, the Grizzly Bears passed a law, the only gun you are allowed to purchase to defend yourself against the Grizzly Bears is a .22 single shot rifle, that's it. "[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist." - Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788 “The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.” Noah Webster, "An Examination into the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution," 1787 “As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms.” - Tench Coxe, Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789 “Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of.” - James Madison, Federalist No. 46, January 29, 1788 “[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man - who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and neglecting the militia.” George Mason argued in favor of citizens being armed, as he stated at Virginia’s Ratifying Convention, 1788 “The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace both from the enormous expenses with which they are attended and the facile means which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers to subvert the government or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered as the palladium of the liberties of a republic since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers and will generally even if these are successful the first instance enable the people to resist and triumph over them.” Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story 1833
Dear Tulsi, first I want to say I love you I think you're great🎉 speaking as a fellow veteran, I used the word fellow loosely, I want to tell you I think you would make a great secretary of state. I sincerely hope that President Trump chooses you for Secretary of State and I sincerely hope that you accept. You can show the world that America and the Secretary of State can be a good neighbor and a good partner once again❤ WhereWeGo1WeGoAll
I agree! She could get much more done as the Secretary of State, and still raise her profile, if she wanted to run for office in the future. She would also have four years to convince we skeptics, that she has truly changed her mind, heart, and politics. I like what she says now, but am cautious about her…
"Anyone that sacrifices liberty for security, deserve neither," Ben Franklin. Samuel Adams said it this way, “If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
A book titled *'Death by "Gun Control" - The Human Cost Of Victim Disarmament',* by Aaron Zelman and Richard Stevens, lays out detailed case histories of genocides and the pivotal role "gun control" played in facilitating each of them. This book is out of print and may be tough to find, but it should be required reading for anyone concerned about power-mad tyrants and their intentions.
Your past voting record stands in my way of fully accepting your sudden turn of heart. I fully remember your running for President, and stating the need for an "Assault Weapons" ban. At 5:24 you were asked a direct question on how you would vote, instead your talked all around the subject and never giving the answer. As a true politician. For me to accept your new position on the 2nd A, you need to go in a recorded event and state that your past voting on the 2nd A was jaded by voting the party line. But giving my change of views today, I would of voted against all such bills put forth by the political party I was a member of. The AR15 is not an "ASSAULT WEAPON", as it lacks the full auto selector position. It's the Modern Sporting Rifle that is in common use all around the country today. I know the difference, as I was issued an M16A1 during my time in the Army.
Tulsi is so close to being the only Democrat/Independent who I would ever consider Voting for, this video at least sort of eases my mind, but not enough where I would Elect here. Need more Evidence.
If we fail to educate people and help them understand the importance of our values and rights, we will lack support in the future. Young people today were not taught to love America and our Constitution, which is a significant concern. It's crucial to give those who did not grow up in a gun culture the opportunity to learn and gradually embrace our way of life. My perspective comes from an immigrant's viewpoint.
She just talking. If she wants me to believe her that she has changed her mind then i want to see action. I want to see her testify in support of the 2nd.
