Wisconsin Dem Running for Congress in Rural District on a Moms Demand Action ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Platform



Rebecca Cooke, a Democrat running for Congress in Wisconsin’s Third District, has staked out a firmly progressive position on gun policy, backing sweeping reforms, including a ban on AR-15-style rifles, as she seeks to flip the seat blue against Republican Derrick Van Orden.

While that may align with the broader direction of the national Democratic Party, it marks a notable break in a district where even previous Democratic representatives have taken a more measured, moderate approach on gun rights.

“The time for thoughts and prayers are over. We need meaningful gun reform now. I know that Wisconsin has a rich heritage in hunting and gamesmanship, but we’re not talking about AR-15s at deer camp,” Cooke said during the 2022 WI-03 Democratic Primary Debate, when asked whether she supports more gun control legislation. “As somebody who is a candidate of distinction for Moms Demand Action, I support universal background checks. I support the enforcement of red flag laws that are put up when someone is having a mental health crisis or is a domestic abuser so they’re not a harm to themselves or others. I support the elimination of the Charleston Loophole.”

    So lets see here…the democrats love, condone, facilitate, aid, promote, and/or have funded left wing domestic terrorism, criminals, and illegal alien fraud and illegal alien murderers and rapist and child predators, trans rapist and murderers and child predators, no due process or the constitutional right to due process in so called ‘red flag laws’, and taking your tax dollars to pay for it – yet this dem wants to run on a platform of a Moms Demand Action ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban Platform that only affects law abiding people and does not address crime and is part of an agenda to do away with a constitutional right, because she poses for a picture shooting skeet and has this idea the 2A is only about hunting and sportsmanship and thinks the best way to “to protect our 2nd amendment rights is to ensure that guns are used safely and stored securely”.

    First; she is insane and doesn’t have the slightest idea.

    Second; She promotes this anti-gun lie about “guns are used safely and stored securely”. This is an anti-gun propaganda marx*ist soci*alist lie. What this means for them is bans of any gun they do not like, no guns outside your home except for their preferred hunting/sporting guns and then only for their approved activity, and guns and ammo in the home are locked away separately thus useless for home defense overall, random no-notice ‘inspections’ of your home without warrant or cause by armed law enforcement, and ‘permitting’ the 2A out of existence — while the dems continue to love, condone, facilitate, aid, promote, and/or fund left wing domestic terrorism, criminals, and illegal alien fraud and illegal alien murderers and rapist and child predators, trans rapist and murderers and child predators, no due process or the constitutional right to due process in so called ‘red flag laws’, to make you defenseless so you are easier to kill when they want to do it, and taking your tax dollars to pay for it.

    The country founders already showed us the best way to protect our 2nd amendment rights and all constitutional rights – they shot such tyrants.

    Everything You’re NOT Supposed to know about Short Barreled Rifles.

    “The legal definition of Short Barreled Rifles and Shotguns should be simple, but the original laws restricting them are Constitutionally, functionally, and practically obsolete. Worse, after 90 years of selective enforcement, that incoherent law has been buried under a mess of sloppy rules, regulatory compliance traps, and bad precedent. You aren’t supposed to know how bad things are, but it’s time to raise awareness and end the NFA.”

  5. More of that “to save the village we must burn down the village” nonsense Democrats are so famous for.

  6. Skeet shooting is not the reason why you have the Second Amendment. And hunting is not the reason why you have the Second Amendment.

    And sadly, far too many gun owners fall for this “skeet shooting trick” every election.

    The reason for the second amendment is to protect yourself with deadly force. If necessary against government leaders like Rebecca Cook.

    If the voters stupidly elect this person in the first place. Just like the stupid voters, voted for that communist CIA plant in Virginia.

    If you want to keep your civil rights, then don’t listen to the libertarians. Who will tell you that the 2 parties are the same. And they say there’s no reason to vote.

    1. The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with skeet shooting or hunting nor did it when originally drafted. The American revolution ended in 1783 and the hell the colonists went through was still fresh on their minds.

      Of course this day and time too many of our citizens are feeble and utterly disgusting.

    Federalist No. 48: James Madison WARNED Us About This… And It’s Happening Now.

    “In this video, we break down Federalist No. 48 by James Madison and uncover one of the most important warnings the Founders ever gave: the legislative branch may be the greatest threat to liberty.

    We explain how Madison predicted government overreach, how it applies today, and why this matters for the Second Amendment and your rights.

    If you care about the Constitution and the future of freedom, this is a must-watch.”

  9. The 2nd Amendment exists to protect the citizens right to own weapons against the governments attempts to prohibit their ownership in anyway. These leftwingnuts always trample the constitution.

    TSA is gonna get paid after all. Trump found a way around the democrat shutdown so TSA agents can get paid.

    Making It Official: Trump Signs Presidential Memorandum to Pay TSA Employees



    [Trumps order reads, in part]

    If Democrats in the Congress will not act to honor the service of our TSA officers, who are now performing their critical public safety responsibilities without knowing whether they will be able to buy food for their families or pay their rent, then my Administration will take action. As President of the United States, I have determined that these circumstances constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security.

    Accordingly, I hereby direct the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, to use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to provide TSA employees with the compensation and benefits that would have accrued to them if not for the Democrat-led DHS shutdown, consistent with applicable law, including 31 U.S.C. 1301(a).

    Once regular funding for TSA has been restored, every effort should be made, as authorized by law, to adjust applicable funding accounts within DHS to ensure the continuation of DHS operations and activities consistent with planned expenditures prior to the lapse.’
    …”

    [OMB is processing TSA pay checks. Now Trump needs to find these shut-down Democrats in congress constitute an emergency situation compromising the Nation’s security, and lock them up.]

  12. The 19th Amendment must be repealed, if the last vestige of western civilization is to survive. We will not continue if animals rules solely by mindless emotion (broads) are allowed a say in our society. Get angry all you like. By the time the realization hits you, it will be too late.
