Chip Roy (R-Texas) said Joe Biden\u2019s Democrats have grown more tyrannical and were coming after gun rights. In a video released by his press office on Tuesday, the Texas Republican laid out why supporting the Second Amendment has become more important than ever before.<\/p>\n<p>Roy contended guns for self defense were extremely necessary by citing the Biden border crisis as well as Democrats\u2019 push to defund the police.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want my Second Amendment rights because my Democratic colleagues want my streets to be less safe by defunding police,\u201d he asserted. \u201cI want my Second Amendment rights because my borders are wide open and being run by cartels while dangerous individuals pour across the border.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8220;[The Second Amendment] is the great separator of this country from others in terms of the right balance between the people and the power of government.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is the great equalizer. And the American people know that. Texans know that.&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vfqxQy7Clb\">pic.twitter.com\/vfqxQy7Clb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep. Chip Roy Press Office (@RepChipRoy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RepChipRoy\/status\/1437777359696973829?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 14, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Democrat proposals to supposedly keep citizens safe after defunding police appeared to target gun owners who enjoyed their rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe gentlelady from Texas gave up the game earlier when we were talking about my friend from North Carolina\u2019s amendment to ensure that we don\u2019t encourage cities to continue these foolish policies of defunding the police,\u201d he explained. \u201cShe said that you don\u2019t need to do that and she talked about these great programs that target guns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Roy also said he remembered a time when blame was placed on individual criminals misusing weapons, instead of all citizens with guns, while noting crime dropped significantly. Democrats proposed laws the Texas lawmakers said would make Texans and all Americans less free.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">This federal organization has no right to use their power to unconstitutionally restrict Americans\u2019 Second Amendment rights.<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/YeA6XVP1Ah\">https:\/\/t.co\/YeA6XVP1Ah<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Texas Attorney General (@TXAG) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TXAG\/status\/1436087860621365248?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 9, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Roy stressed one of the most important reasons to support the Second Amendment was to balance the power between citizens and their government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of those issues is ensuring that they can maintain and preserve and protect their Second Amendment rights,\u201d he expressed. \u201cIt is the great separator of this country from others in terms of the right balance between the people and the power of government. It is the great equalizer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Following the release of the video, Roy retweeted it to make one last comment. He said the only true defense from tyranny was an armed citizenry.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/house-gop-urges-biden-admin-to-maintain-taliban-sanctions\/\">House GOP Urges Biden Admin.
