BUCK: It’s certainly not new that the gun grabbers in the Democrat Party and on the progressive left — the stealth-Marxists running around — want to disarm you. They want to take your Second Amendment rights away. Rush was always a champion for your Second Amendment rights, and here’s some wisdom from him.

RUSH: The objective here, folks… The long-term, the epitome — I mean, the nirvana dream — is the confiscation of all weapons. They’re not gonna stop ’til they get that, and they’re never gonna get that, which means they’re never gonna stop. The objective is the confiscation of all weapons, and it’s not because they think that will stop the killing. This is what’s so offensive me about this. This is not about stopping the killing.

It’s not about saving the children. It’s not about any of that. It’s only about leftists wanting to control and have control over as much of the population as they can. It’s why they hate the NRA, and it’s not because the NRA spends a lot of money. The NRA spends very little compared to other major donors. The NRA is a very, very large and very, very successful grassroots organization.

The NRA’s strength comes from the depth of its membership and who those people are. And left cannot undermine that no matter how hard they try, and they will never be able to undermine it. So they have to go after the guns. And all of this talk about changing regulations and laws, never forget: The only people who are regulating are people who already obey the law. By definition, people are gonna break the law. By definition, people are gonna go get guns that are banned. In fact, the more they’re banned, the more attractive they’re gonna be. It’s not the way to deal with this.

CLAY: And a lot of you want to weigh in. We’ve obviously been talking about the defund the police movement and how quickly it has pivoted into an attack on Second Amendment rights. The idea that crime is skyrocketing because of guns is fundamentally absurd if you look at the actual data.

The police are pulled back from being able to do their jobs in cities because of defund the police movements, Black Lives Matter protests. Suddenly, the murder rate skyrockets. The gun situation has not changed, but now Democratic politicians are coming out and saying, “Oh, the reason why the murder rate is up is because of guns.”
