If all you see is my color, then you are not my friend, my ally, nor my protector. You are my enemy; and I will treat you as such.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@GavinNewsom Then you don't need a security detail for "self defense," right? This isn't about what Justice Alito "thinks;" it's about what the Constitution defines. Why do we keep having to explain that to you?

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @ianmiles @Timcast You were both wrong. You've been making the assumption that there aren't any background checks at all.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @ianmiles @Timcast So, "Advocating for our rights doesn't matter because the government will just do whatever they want" is your go-to?

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @ianmiles @Timcast Fair enough.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @ianmiles @Timcast She doesn't want to see history repeat itself. How familiar are you with the origins of gun control, "Jim Crow" and "Black" laws?

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @ianmiles @Timcast It already is a blood shed in poorer (and not so poor) cities. Those cities tend to be run by liberal and progressive democrats. You should take a careful looks at their policies.

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @WaywardRabbler @ianmiles @Timcast A side note of my own. Quit assuming that all Republicans are MAGA.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @WaywardRabbler @ianmiles @Timcast Depending in who's stats you're using, there are approximately 200,000 to 2 million defensive gun uses, by legally-armed civilians, in which shots are not fired, annually. She's not the problem.

Quit equating illegal firearms usage with legal gun ownership.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @WaywardRabbler @ianmiles @Timcast There are well over 400 MIL legally-owned firearms in this country. The # of gun-related deaths, annually, is less than 45,000. Roughly 60% of those are suicides. 75% of the remaining are criminal homicides. The remaining 25% are justified homicides, by citizens and police.

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @WaywardRabbler @ianmiles @Timcast government failed (purposely or inadvertently) to provide the necessary information to the NICS database that would have prevented the shooters purchasing firearms. You want to guess how many laws hold the government accountable in these instances? None.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@anxgelito @SFoxxe83628 @gayproudZAR @WaywardRabbler @ianmiles @Timcast 1. All firearms purchases through an FFL have had to undergo a federal background check since 1993.
2. A background check is only as good as the information entered into the database. Stoneman High, Sutherland Springs, Michigan State are among a litany of shootings where the

@Mario_4411 @notcapnamerica @tedlieu It's not. If it was, anti-2A politicians like Ted would be aggressively backing her publicly. New Mexico law enforcement would be backing her. They are not. Circumventing the U. S. and New Mexico Constitutions is NOT "well within her bounds (unless she suddenly became a queen).

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@d0n77ru57 @notcapnamerica @tedlieu 1. You do realize the people targeted by this order haven't broken the law, and the governor acknowledged that criminals will ignore this order.
2. Trump has nothing to do with this situation, and is irrelevant.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@SometimesWhy5 @notcapnamerica @tedlieu Actually, it does. Especially when the governor (she is not a lawmaker) acknowledges that those actually responsible for the crimes (you know-criminals?) will ignore her order.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@notcapnamerica @tedlieu The 2nd Amendment is the right to "Keep and Bear arms". She is attempting to suspend the "Bear" portion of the right. So, she's attempting to suspend the federal Constitution. Also the New Mexico Constitution, and her Oath of Office.

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@tedlieu @dangkitty207 So you were in favor of allowing NYC's "Pay to Play" scheme to continue, Ted?

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@TRexPope @tedlieu @dangkitty207 So, "SCOTUS issued a decision with which I don't agree" = "SCOTUS rewrote the Constitution (it's capitalized) and the 2A (a part of the Constitution".

Hissy much?

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@ReidFirm @jarvis_best @tedlieu Awesome! Mind of I use?

[J. E. Clemente @Daddeo10]

@jarvis_best @iheartmindy @tedlieu "Supercede"? Really?
