{ patriotnewsdaily.com } ~ The dummycrats-Democrats think, for some reason, that crusading for the ban of “assault rifles” is a winning issue... The very term is one of deception, since “assault rifle” would tend to conjure images of a fully automatic machine gun, which are decidedly not the problem when it comes to American mass shootings and are extremely difficult to obtain in any case. But the term is used to describe semi-automatic guns like the AR-15, which have in fact been used in many of the most sensationalized shootings of the past ten years. Not necessarily because they are “weapons of war,” as the anti-gun crowd likes to claim, but precisely because these guns are literally everywhere. The AR-15 and its clones are among the most popular rifles in the country, which makes it nearly inevitable that they will be used in these shootings more often than…less popular guns. Duh. But the dummycrats-Democrats don’t want to admit that simple truth because it would undermine their whole argument against these guns. They have to get Americans to believe that these guns only exist to kill kindergartners and concert-goers. And that’s a relatively easy narrative to paint when this is the only time a lot of people are exposed to these guns. If there were a news segment on the air every week showing Joe Bob Nobody taking his AR-15 to the rifle range or wiping it down admiringly with a soft cloth, the country would understand that these guns are far from rare. In the absence of that, we have the NRA to push back hard when a dummycrats-Democrat accidentally goes too far and instead of just insinuating that AR-15s are the sole possession of mass killers, actually comes right out and says it. That’s what Dianne Fein-stein tried to do when questioning Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh about his legal opinion on the constitutionality of an assault weapons ban. In his writings, Kavanaugh has said that such a ban would almost certainly fall afoul of the Second Amendment and prior case law, seeing as how there is nothing exceptional or rare about semi-automatic rifles. They are, he said, in “common use.” This is the phrase Fein-stein objected to. “I’m talking about your statement on common use,” she said. “Assault weapons are not in common use.” Kavanaugh replied: “Semi-automatic rifles are widely possessed in the United States. There are millions and millions. That seemed to fit the [definition of] ‘common use’ and not being a dangerous and unusual weapon.”....
Kavanaugh added, “I want a fair process where I can defend my integrity, and I know I’m telling the truth. I know my lifelong record and I’m not going to let false accusations drive me out of this process. I have faith in God and I have faith in the fairness of the American people.”
Mazie Hirono, the heretofore virtually unknown dummycrats-Democrat junior senator from Hawaii, has found her ticket to relevance with this fiasco. She blatantly argues that Kavanaugh should be presumed guilty because of his conservative judicial views, and her opinion is taken seriously in the media. In this era of identity politics, dominated by the inherently unjust “social justice” concept of group association determining the parameters by which people are to be judged rather than by the specific actions of an individual, what is a person to do who has been judged as “guilty” due to his identity group?
Well, Kavanaugh decided that he couldn’t just sit back and allow the accusations against him to remain a nebulous “she said, he said” argument. While leftists actively attack our judicial system with their presumption of guilt, Kavanaugh has essentially opened the door and invited his accusers to provide proof of their allegations.
In the interview, Kavanaugh laid down three specific and important points that can be definitively proven false if they are not accurate. First, he says he was a virgin through high school and “for many years after.” Second, he never drank to the point of memory loss. By asserting this, Kavanaugh has removed for himself the defense of saying that he may have been too drunk to remember what happened — doubly effective given that both accusers admit drunkenness and foggy memories. And third, he denies having gone to any parties in the area where his accuser said it took place. In fact, Kavanaugh reportedly has detailed calendars that he will provide to the Senate Judiciary Committee. That at least proves he was careful and meticulous, even at age 17.
Kavanaugh realizes that he will have to fight for his good name and reputation not only before the Judiciary Committee but before the court of public opinion. He’s not naive to the fact that at least within the mainstream media he’s guilty until proven innocent. Sensationalism sells. The longer someone goes without responding directly to accusations the more the public assumes that person is trying to avoid having to answer the allegation. Kavanaugh has done everyone a favor here, both by publicly responding to the allegations and offering specific details in refutation of the accusations.
