Former Obama administration Secretary of State and Biden administration \u201cclimate envoy\u201d John Kerry\u2019s recent anti-First Amendment rant during a World Economic Forum panel on \u201cGreen Energy\u201d wasn\u2019t directed at gun owners and gun-rights groups, but it could have been.<\/p>\n
According to a Fox News report<\/a>, during the panel discussion Kerry lamented the fact that the government can\u2019t stifle speech that doesn\u2019t agree with those in charge. In doing so, he called the First Amendment\u2014which was written partially to protect freedom of speech\u2014a \u201cmajor block\u201d to hammering out what he considers to be \u201cdisinformation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYou know there\u2019s a lot of discussion now about how you curb those entities in order to guarantee that you\u2019re going to have some accountability on facts, etc.,\u201d Kerry told the audience. \u201cBut look, if people go to only one source, and the source they go to is sick, and, you know, has an agenda, and they\u2019re putting out disinformation, our First Amendment stands as a major block to the ability to be able to just, you know, hammer it out of existence.\u201d<\/p>\n In this case, Kerry was talking about those who don\u2019t espouse his theory on climate change and don\u2019t embrace the radical policies he and others in the Democrat party claim are necessary to combat climate change. He wishes the First Amendment wasn\u2019t there to hinder his ability to shut those up who disagree with his point of view on the matter.<\/p>\n Interestingly, Kerry quickly turned the conversation into an endorsement for the Harris-Walz campaign, which he apparently believes might have the ability to \u201cgovern\u201d such free speech.<\/p>\n \u201cI think democracies are very challenged right now and have not proven they can move fast enough or big enough to deal with the challenges they are facing, and to me, that is part of what this election is all about,\u201d he said. \u201cWill we break the fever in the United States? What we need is to win the ground, win the right to govern by hopefully winning enough votes that you\u2019re free to be able to implement change.\u201d<\/p>\n While that\u2019s nonsense enough, you might be asking what that has to do with the Second Amendment. And the answer is, everything.<\/p>\n Stifling speech that doesn\u2019t agree with the administration currently in charge isn\u2019t limited to climate politics. There\u2019s little doubt that Kerry and his ilk would also like to silence gun-rights groups that disagree with the government\u2019s assertions that violent crime is a \u201cpublic health crisis<\/a>,\u201d AR-style rifles are \u201cassault weapons<\/a>,\u201d and the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act gives gun makers \u201cblanket immunity<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n The Biden-Harris administration holds those three \u201cfacts\u201d as among their utmost certainties as far as gun policy is concerned. Who believes they wouldn\u2019t like to cut back on any dissent about those ideas if they were given the opportunity?<\/p>\n In the end, any time you hear any politician\u2014from either party\u2014call the First Amendment a roadblock to anything except tyranny, you should sit up and take notice. Those who want to curtail First Amendment rights would also be stifling the ability for Second Amendment supporters to voice our opinion on the issue.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
