Rep. Cori Bush isn’t the dumbest member of Congress, but it’s not like she’s not jockeying for the top ten. The video starts somewhere into her speech, so “we” is supposed to be: gun control advocates, Democrats, Congress, or the government; let’s say it’s the government. She makes clear she’s not trying to take people’s rights away in calling for a ban on “assault weapons” — but she also will not succumb to the “nihilist, insurrectionist view” of the Second Amendment. What’s the “insurrectionist view” of the Second Amendment, exactly; that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?

These people want so badly to repeal the Second Amendment, but they know it’s easier to chip away at it bit by bit.
She didn't write this.

Anyone: “Umm, Congresswoman Bush, what does ‘nihilist’ mean?”

Members of the United States government saying this out loud is why the 2nd Amendment exists. https://t.co/t2CwSqORHb

They like the term emergency. Whenever you hear it…know it’s about power not help.

Yes, gun violence is a public health emergency, just like racism was deemed a public health emergency to justify holding mass Black Lives Matter protests in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Any of these people who clearly do not understand the Constitution to which they swore an oath should be immediately dismissed as frauds. Immediately.

Spoken like a true communist.

She's literally stating the need for a fascist government.
— BonkDaCarnivore (@BonkDaCarnivore) March 23, 2023
All she does is read what her handlers put in front of her. Not a single original thought in her head.

Cori Bush, representing St. Louis and the number one murder rate in America (69.4 per 100,000 people) calling other Americans violent. Sad, out of touch and embarrassing.

I will add that Bush's comment is indicative of an ignorant scorn of the Constitution and its roots.
I cannot take such a person seriously.

Zero chance she knows what 'nihilism' means.
Someone on her staff wrote that blather.— Jim Thompson (@JimmySportToons) March 23, 2023
Where do these people come from?

Drama queen . She is a national embarrassment.

How can a person that speaks this into a congressional hearing be allowed in Congress?
— Mike (@michaeljashmore) March 23, 2023
Since August 2020 Cori Bush has spent over $630,000 on security-related expenses (private security), but hates the second amendment. I wonder why that is?
Rules for thee…
— Ty Webb (@OmgTyWebb) March 23, 2023
Get these people out of congress. This is getting completely and utterly out of hand. We need a do over. Fire everyone. ffs.
— Leans2theright (@Leans2theright) March 23, 2023
Ironically the 2nd was instituted to prevent governments acting on the mentality of people like Bush there.
— Patrick (@ArgentineTea) March 23, 2023
Her anti-Constitution statements are literally seditious.
— WitCoHE_Bak (@WitCoHE_Bak) March 23, 2023
Seriously, what is an “insurrectionist view” of the Second Amendment?
