I’ve often written about repealing the 17th Amendment. The betrayal of both North Carolina senators is a case in point as to why this is necessary. Recently, they voted to advance a gun control bill in the Senate. Here is an excerpt from Grass Roots North Carolina:
Misguided
US Senate gun control proposals could have been quickly killed during
Thursday’s vote to proceed, if not for 13 “sell-out” Republicans who cut
unknown deals with Harry Reid (D-AZ). Both of our Senators voted to subject our
Second Amendment rights to infringement. This is unacceptable, and they both
must pay.
It
was perhaps expected from Hagan given her GRNC 0-star rating, but Burr’s
betrayal is unforgivable. As late as Wednesday, April 10th he had
pledged to join patriots like Senators Paul and Cruz in filibustering the
motion to proceed. The fact the very next day he voted in favor MAKES
IT CLEAR Burr has LIED to NC voters and cannot be
trusted to defend our fundamental liberties.
They
both may claim they “want debate” and that they don’t intend to vote for the
bill, and that there are opportunities to filibuster later. Don’t buy it. There
is nothing good that can come from this bad bill remaining alive a second
longer than it has to. It is now possible to use this bill as a “vehicle” for
unknown amendments that will be introduced – including
Feinstein’s modern rifle ban. The entire federal gun control effort could have
been over today and the threat behind us. Instead, now we
must watch the Senate’s every move as “must pass before we know what’s in it”
amendments are introduced.
Both Burr and Hagan need to understand that IF ANY gun control restrictions are passed as a result of their betrayal THEY WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE!
The only way we can stop rogue senators from
passing unconstitutional laws is to repeal the 17th Amendment. The States must have a recall mechanism,
until that time comes we’ll continuously be at the mercy of these
super-legislators.
