In my latest at @nytopinion, I argue that the truculent response to @BetoORourke's mandatory assault weapon buyback proposal betrays a disturbing hostility to democracy on the right.https://www.nytimes.com/2019/09/18/opinion/assault-rifle-ban.html …

You can't say in good faith that it's JUST A PREDICTION that gun owners will wreak violence on cops enforcing constitutionally kosher, duly-passed democratic legislation if you won't to condemn it. You're endorsing it by dangling it out there to take a valid option off the table.

Liberals are wary of declaring disagreement out of bounds? That's got to be a joke.

My observation is the conservative movement is becoming more brazen in its willingness to destroy any norm or democratic mechanism rather than take an "L". Started before Trump, but he's giving a master class in shamelessness.

When you say "conservatives" and "liberals", do you mean liberals in a classical sense, or liberals as in the political left that relied on the courts rather than legislatures to advance abortion and gay marriage?

This is laughably dishonest. No one can pay attention to politics over the last five years and think the left doesn’t want to silence dissent or shut down contrary opinions. It’s just a lie.

You can't be that naive and oblivious? Have you been paying attention to liberal discourse? Besides, pre-existing conditions are not codified in the Constitution, which is something liberals like yourself seem to hold in contempt.

I think people can own guns..but your betters in the media and the Democratic Party will tell what guns you should own, and what to drive, eat, think, and be allowed to say...you saying libs don’t want to make disagreements out of bounds is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard
