Did you recall when John Cornyn (and other Republicans) compromised on gun control earlier this summer to diffuse the topic and convince Democrats not to push for the Constitution violation? Yeah, me neither because that’s not at all that happened. Instead, as predicted, Democrats used the next mass shooting to immediately insist, again, that we must “do something.”
Sure enough, on Friday, Democrats in the US House of Representatives voted to ban so-called “assault weapons” in perhaps the most extensive move against the Second Amendment in the nation’s history. This bill will be defeated in the Senate. It would prohibit the sale of common-used rifles to try and stop mass shootings.
That’s the setup for one of the most incredible responses by a US lawmaker I’ve ever seen. Rep. Chuy Garcia (D-IL), was extremely triggered by a random tweet account that criticized the bill. It prompted him to create this hilarious response.

Two hours later, however, the tweet was swiftly deleted. However, as they say, “The internet is forever.” Garcia, what the heck was Garcia thinking? Doesn’t he know that you can’t say the “r-word” in polite society anymore? He will surely be thrown into the abyss or canceled for this serious offense. Or perhaps he’ll just blame things on an overzealous staffer, which is the go-to excuse for any politician who gets in trouble on social media.
But really, is it at all surprising that someone who uses the “weapons of war” phrasing, as Garcia did in his original tweet bragging about the ban, would be stupid enough to lash out against a nobody with an expletive-laced slur? No anti-gun slogan is more stupid than this. All guns are “weapons of war” if they are used to…and stick with me here…wage war.
One-shot muzzleloaders are weapon of war. The weapons of war are handguns. Bolt-action rifles can be used as weapons of war. It is not an indicator that can justify gun bans. Actually, the Second Amendment exists explicitly To protectThe possession of weapons to aid in war. So really, if you want to get technical, anyone shrieking “weapons of war” is defending their legality.
To get more to the point, Garcia, like so many on the left, is nothing but a virtue-signaling know-nothing who doesn’t care one bit that his prescribed policies are both tyrannical and ineffective. Think about the idea that bans on certain guns will result in mass shootings. Then, they’ll just shrug it off and find a job. It’s that level of vapidness that leads to the hysterical reaction Garcia gave. He’s got no actual argument. He doesn’t have any data backing his support. He foams at the mouth because that’s all he Can do.
