It seems Elon Musk is making waves for the Democrats, and this time it’s about gun rights. Over the weekend, Musk issued a stark warning, comparing the Democratic Party’s current stance on firearms to the actions of past totalitarian regimes. Musk’s concern centers on a growing push from Democrats for tighter gun control, a move he believes could strip American citizens of their ability to defend themselves from government overreach.
This all came to a head following remarks by Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA), who appeared open to the idea of gun confiscation during a Sunday interview on NBC’s “Meet The Press.” His comments came on the heels of Vice President Kamala Harris previously expressing support for a mandatory gun buy-back program, a euphemism that many believe amounts to government-enforced confiscation of lawfully owned firearms.
When pressed on the issue, Warnock dodged a direct endorsement of gun confiscation but was clear that Congress needed to act. “We’ve got to pass some laws to deal with this,” Warnock said, suggesting that bipartisan support exists for certain gun control measures. He also claimed that there’s a disconnect between what Americans want and what their government delivers, implying that stricter gun laws are supported by a majority but blocked by a minority in Congress. The irony here is astounding, given the clear constitutional protections that exist for gun ownership.
Elon Musk wasted no time in responding, using his platform to draw historical parallels between gun control and oppressive regimes. “The right to bear arms is there to protect free speech and stop a tyrannical government from taking your rights away,” Musk declared. He went further, referencing Venezuela’s descent into dictatorship under Hugo Chavez, who disarmed the populace as one of his first steps toward consolidating power. Once Chavez neutralized any armed opposition, Musk pointed out, real elections became a thing of the past in the now socialist-ruled country.

Musk’s argument comes as there have been several reports that Venezuelan gangs have taken over portions of apartment complexes in Colorado. There are also reports from a small community in Ohio that Haitian refugees are killing ducks and pets for food.
NBC: Should Kamala try to pass mandatory gun confiscation, which she has repeatedly said she supports?
