RFK on the 2A
2024 Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. deviated from much of the Democratic Party during a New Hampshire town hall, saying there is nothing policymakers can “meaningfully” do through #guncontrol to reduce the #gunviolence epidemic in America.
#Kennedy, who is rivaling President Biden for the 2024 Democratic nomination, was asked by an audience member how he would use federal resources to slow gun violence.
“I do not believe that there is, within that #secondamendment, that there’s anything we can meaningfully do to reduce the trade in the ownership of #guns,” #RFKJr said, “and I’m not going to take people’s guns away.”
“Anybody who tells you that they’re going to be able to reduce gun violence through gun control at this point I don’t think is being realistic,” Kennedy added.
His emphasis on refusing to infringe on Americans’ constitutional rights echoes a common Republican position on the limitations of responding to gun violence through gun control.
Still, #RFK's answer on gun rights failed to entirely satisfy many on the pro-#2A side, and he suffered the inevitable backlash on social media from those who pointed out his previous stated position as pro-gun control.
On this edition of Maverick News, we explore how Kennedy has evolved on the Second Amendment and talk about why his father's assassination led directly to the Gun Control Act of 1968 -- the first federal gun control law.
We also dig in to what Kennedy says the deeper problem is in our gun violence epidemic: drugs -- both street drugs and pharmaceutical drugs.
This is an important national conversation we need to have if we are going to calm the violence and heal our nation. Please watch and share.
