US senator threatens 'popular revolt' over gun rights

A US senator Sunday threatened an uprising by the American people if the US Supreme Court issues certain rulings on gun rights.

In an interview with NBC’s Chuck Todd, gun control operative Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said that if the Supreme Court does not curb gun rights, Americans will revolt.

“If the Supreme Court eventually says that states or the Congress can’t pass universal background checks or can’t take these assault weapons off the streets, I think there’s going to be a popular revolt over that policy,” he said on Meet the Press.

Murphy then said the Supreme Court is illegitimate.

“A court that’s already pretty illegitimate, is going to be in full crisis mode,” said Murphy, who then declared that legislators will regulate gun rights with or without the Supreme Court’s approval.

Indeed, several states passed or introduced more restrictive gun laws in 2022 after last year’s Supreme Court ruling that many gun restrictions violate the Second Amendment.

While many states have passed laws allowing gun possession and carry based on “special need” and self-defense, the purpose of the “right to bear arms” is to be a safeguard against a tyrannical government. Therefore, says the Supreme Court, Americans should not need to prove to the government why they bear arms.  

As Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas opined in New York Rifle Assn., Inc v. Bruen in June:  

We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need. That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion. It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant’s right to confront the witnesses against him. And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense.  

New York’s proper-cause requirement violates the Fourteenth Amendment in that it prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defense needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms. We therefore reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals and remand the case for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. 

But while gun control operatives may be declaring the country’s justice system “illegitimate” and openly threatening to revolt, the FBI considers those who support the Second Amendment to be possible domestic threats.

According to internal FBI documents obtained by Project Veritas last year, gun rights advocates may be considered Militia Violent Extremists (MVEs).

“The following symbols are used by Anti-government or Anti-Authority Violent Extremists, specifically Militia Violent Extremists (MVE),” says the memo, marked for FBI internal use only. “MVE symbols are often found on propaganda, online platforms, memes, merchandise, group logos, flags, tattoos, uniforms, etc. Widespread use of symbols and quotes from American history, especially the Revolutionary War, exists within MVE networks. Historic and contemporary military themes are common for MVE symbols.” 

The memo, labeled “law enforcement sensitive," then hints that while these political views should not “independently” be considered MVEs, they may require monitoring: 

The use or sharing of these symbols alone should not independently be considered evidence of MVE presence or affiliation or serve as an indicator of illegal activity, as many of these individuals use these symbols for their original, historic meaning, or other non-violent purposes.

The following are some of the characteristics of MVEs, according to the FBI memo, which paint a portrait of the quintessential political opponent of the Biden regime: 

• Considering Ashli Babbitt, a conservative who was executed inside the Capitol on January 6th, a martyr. 
• “2A: Justifying their existence with the Second Amendment, due to the mention of a ‘well-regulated Militia’” 
• “Warrior culture: military themes but [sic] historical and contemporary.” 
• “Gadsden Flag: Historical American symbol, representing gun rights and limited government.” 
• The Liberty Tree 
• The Betsy Ross flag 

The following are some phrases used by MVEs: 

• “When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty,” or variations of the phrase. 
• “I will not comply.” 
• “Well-regulated American militia.” 
• “All enemies foreign and domestic.”
