“Moderate” Tim Walz Wants To Ban Guns He (didn’t) Carry In War

Well, it’s not surprising that the Comrade Harris-Walz ticket doesn’t want to discuss food prices, energy prices, housing prices, or other economic issues, nor the border. Heck, Cackle’s website doesn’t even have any policy positions, just a beg for money. But, they are happy to discuss hard left issues. Walz says he’s an avid hunter, yet, wants to ban guns

‘Never went to war’: Walz ripped for saying he wants to ban guns he ‘carried in war’

Vice President Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, said he wants to ban guns he “carried in war” though he never saw combat during his time in the Army National Guard and left the service after being informed that his unit would be deployed to Iraq.

“I spent 25 years in the Army, and I hunt. I’ve been voting for commonsense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks. We can research the impacts of gun violence. We can make sure those weapons of war that I carried in war are only carried in war,” Walz said in a video posted by the Harris campaign on Tuesday.

Walz joined the Army National Guard in 1981, retiring in 2005 from the 1st Battalion, 125th Field Artillery, where he rose to the rank of command sergeant major. Across his more than two decades of service, he never saw combat, according to an interview with Minnesota Public Radio in 2018.

It’s not surprising that Walz wants to ban rifles: he’s a hardcore leftist. Good on him for serving, but, he’s never been in combat or a combat zone, so, he wouldn’t have carried a weapon. Otherwise he might have known that no one is carrying a semi-automatic rifle. And that there are plenty of rifles which are much more powerful than the hated AR-15 platform. But, this is the guy who also implemented a snitch line for COVID. He was at one point a big supporter of gun rights, but, then turned hard left

Walz retired months after a warning order was issued to his battalion that it would be deployed to Iraq, the New York Post reported Tuesday. Service member Thomas Behrends went in his place, according to the Post, sparking the veteran to slam Walz as “a traitor” and “coward” for retiring before deploying.

“When your country calls, you are supposed to run into battle, not the other way,” the retired command sergeant major told the New York Post. “He ran away. It’s sad.”

This ain’t Hell… has lots more on Walz’s stolen valor, and that’s what it is. He’s stated for years that he served in combat, but, didn’t. He bolted right before his unit deployed. Respect that he served in the Guard, but, he ditched the people he was supposed to lead. I suggest we disallow all his security from carrying anything but bolt action rifles, and restrict their handguns to magazines that only hold 10 rounds. He’d be fine with that, right?

He’s also not much of a fan of free speech

““I think we need to push back on this. There is no guarantee to freedom of free speech on misinformation or, or, hate speech, especially around our democracy!”” Actually, there is. Perhaps he should read the Constitution for the state he’s governor of. And the one for the nation he wants to be VP of.
