MTG Warns Dems "Don't Push To Far"

 Tom Knighton at Bearing Arms asks Did Marjorie Taylor Greene cross line with Second Amendment comment? Lt's have a look, shall we?

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. In her brief time in Congress, she’s managed to ruffle a lot of feathers, and not just among Democrats.
However, she’s always been a vocal supporter of the Second Amendment.
A couple of days ago, she laid out why the Founders made sure to preserve the right to keep and bear arms when she addressed some of Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams and her espoused positions on various issues.
Greene noted:
While not in agreement with Abrams’ stance on vaccinations, Greene then transitioned and moved onto the gubernatorial candidate’s stance on guns and the Second Amendment saying, “The next thing she talked about was grabbing people’s guns. She hates Georgia’s Second Amendment rights. She wants to stop constitutional carry,” Greene said.
Greene continued, offering advice to Georgia’s current governor and state lawmakers, urging them to pass and sign legislation to combat Abrams’ call for “grabbing people’s guns.”
She went on to say, “Ultimately, the truth is it’s our Second Amendment rights, our right to bear arms, that protects Americans and gives us the ability to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government,” she said. “And I hate to use this language, but Democrats, they’re exactly … they’re doing exactly what our Founders talked about when they gave us the precious rights that we have.”
Now, to most of us, this looks like Greene warning us that Democrats are acting tyrannical and reminding Democrats not to push things too far.

Sounds like it to me as well. But some Democrats took umbrage at her remarks. As Knighton says, it sounds like an "if the shoe fits" situation. Just like the colonials who flew the Gadsden flag, Greene was saying to the Left "Don't Tread On Me." Gentle readers can read the entire post. More people need to speak out. And Greene, as a member of Congress has a special platform. Good for her.
