mean to use words anymore? That\u2019s the question prompted by Rep. Maxwell Frost\u2019s most recent unhinged statement on MSNBC, where he decried an expansion of civil liberties as \u201cfascism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The first-term Florida congressman, a progressive Democrat, was asked by host Joy Reid about Florida Republicans\u2019 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.based-politics.com\/2023\/02\/01\/ryan-petty-why-parkland-victims-father-supports-constitutional-carry\/\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">Continual effort to expand gun rights<\/span><\/a>. They\u2019re considering enacting \u201cconstitutional carry,\u201d Allowing citizens to conceal carry handguns without a permit. This isn\u2019t actually anything outlandish or novel. This would apply to violent felons as well. Florida would join 25 states with similar laws. \u201cconstitutional carry\u201d regiment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">But we can\u2019t let those pesky facts get in the way of some partisan fearmongering.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re seeing in Florida is scary, and I\u2019m blunt about it, it\u2019s <b>fascism<\/b>,\u201d Frost <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/townhallcom\/status\/1623123321620467713\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\"><\/span><\/a>. \u201cThis is legislation that will result in death. People will die if this bill passes.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Joy Reid: Florida &#8220;is now thinking about going permit-less carry\u2026with very little in the way of a background check. What is happening?!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell Frost, Rep. &#8220;It&#8217;s fascism.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9Bm1kpB6Xf\" class=\"stylish-link\">pic.twitter.com\/9Bm1kpB6Xf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Townhall.com (@townhallcom) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/townhallcom\/status\/1623123321620467713?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"stylish-link\">February 8, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p3\">There\u2019s something jarring about hearing an expansion of citizens\u2019 freedom described as \u201cfascism.\u201d For context, \u201cfascism\u201d Far-right political ideology that supports a centralized, autocratic government with enormous power and uses it to crush any opposition or dissent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">It\u2019s an understatement to say that fascists are not known for supporting citizens\u2019 rights to bear arms and defend themselves from an oppressive government. In fact, Hitler infamously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/2013\/12\/how-nazis-used-gun-control-stephen-p-halbrook\/\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">Many Jewish citizens have been disarmed<\/span><\/a> Many years had passed before the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">So, while one could certainly argue against constitutional carry on policy grounds, to call expanding citizens\u2019 gun rights \u201cfascist\u201d This is simply absurd and completely inaccurate. Constitutional carry is also available to Democratic-leaning States like Maine and Vermont. Are we supposed to believe they\u2019re \u201cfascist\u201d too, Maxwell?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">It\u2019s also baseless fearmongering to suggest that constitutional carry is going to lead to a wave of death in Florida. The Florida Sheriffs Association <a href=\"https:\/\/www.based-politics.com\/2023\/02\/01\/ryan-petty-why-parkland-victims-father-supports-constitutional-carry\/\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">endorsing<\/span><\/a> the move\u2026 an unlikely group to back something that would set off a crime wave. What\u2019s more, the 25 states that have constitutional carry policies in place vary wildly in outcomes, with some having high murder rates but others, like New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont, <a href=\"https:\/\/worldpopulationreview.com\/state-rankings\/murder-rate-by-state\" class=\"stylish-link\"><span class=\"s1\">Very low.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\">The partisan, hyperbolic garbage Maxwell Frost exudes on air while he hyperventilates with Joy Reid is, in sum, easily thrown out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>You like this article?
