It highlights how liberals supported strict COVID-19 measures like lockdowns and vaccine mandates,and often call for tougher gun regulations after mass shootings. Journalist Mike Spies, during a discussion on MSNBC following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michigan-high-school-shooter-used-gun-likely-purchased-by-dad-on-black-friday\/\" title=\"Michigan High School Shooter Used Gun Likely Purchased By Dad On Black Friday\">tragic school shooting<\/a> by a transgender attacker, openly advocated for meaningful reductions in gun availability, citing Australia and some European countries as models for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/massachusetts-house-passes-major-gun-reform-law-including-crackdown-on-ghost-guns\/\" title=\"Massachusetts House approves significant gun reform, targets &#039;ghost&#039; guns.\">effective gun control<\/a>. However, the article argues that such views amount to calls for gun confiscation, which threatens constitutional rights, especially the Second Amendment that protects citizens from government tyranny. The piece suggests that modern liberals desire submission rather than freedom, opposing the First and Second Amendments because they distrust or dislike the people they seek to govern. Ultimately, the article views liberal calls for safety measures as efforts to impose control rather than genuinely protect freedoms.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >modern liberals casually reveal<\/a> their true authoritarian natures, believe them.<\/p>\n<p>They did it during the COVID scare, when they embraced lockdowns, masks, and vaccine mandates.

Had he done so, he would have used the word &ldquo;confiscation.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Liberals sometimes refer to Australian-style gun confiscation as if it represents their beau ideal for remaking American society.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, for instance, then-Vice President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-kamala-harris-casually-calls-australian-style-national-gun-confiscation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kamala Harris<\/a> spoke of Australia&rsquo;s 1996 mass civilian gun confiscation in glowing terms.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, freedom-loving American citizens know that the Second Amendment protects us first and foremost from our own government. The Founding Fathers, looking to history rather than theory, recognized that all governments have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/fbi-swarms-small-town-swat-team-armored-vehicles-search-jan-6-suspect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tyrannical propensities<\/a> if left unchecked.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, only an armed citizen can claim free status. In the end, if your government has disarmed you, then you enjoy your &ldquo;liberties&rdquo; at your rulers&rsquo; sufferance. That makes you a subject, if not a slave.<\/p>\n<p>Many modern liberals hate this about the U.S. Constitution. They would prefer that you worship secular government because they imagine themselves in power. That explains why they stoop so low as to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jd-vance-teaches-jen-psaki-lesson-prayer-wake-catholic-school-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">denigrate prayer itself<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, modern liberals hate the First and Second Amendments for the same reason that no leftist government in world history has ever expanded freedoms: They despise the people they wish to rule.<\/p>\n<p>In short, when modern liberals speak of safety, they mean submission. They just rarely speak of the latter as openly as Spies did.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey==typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts={ \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs=[ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i=0; i <inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
