WH Sticks Its Nose Where It Doesn't Belong, Bash TN GOP
It's time for the Biden Administration and Democratic Party to stop their hypocritical posturing and start listening to the American people. Their recent condemnations of the Tennessee Republicans for their vote to expel three Democratic representatives for participating in a gun-control protest is hypocritical, considering their silence on the actions of the Democrats as protesters stormed the State's Capitol.
If this had been the other way around, you just know that the White House's official response would have been 'that's the choice of the state's lawmakers'. No way would they have supported Republican lawmakers joining in a protest on federal property.
The truth is, the Democrats and Biden Administration are out of touch with the American people on the issue of gun rights. A majority of Americans believe that the right to bear arms is a fundamental right, and that any attempts to restrict this right should be done cautiously and with the input of the people.
But, instead of taking the time to understand the concerns of the American people, the Biden Administration and Democratic Party are trying to push through their own agenda of gun control.
The Democrats and Biden Administration are calling for bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, safe storage of firearms, and eliminating gun manufacturers' immunity from liability and requiring background checks for all gun sales.
But, these measures do nothing to protect the rights of law-abiding citizens to protect themselves. It's clear that the Democrats and Biden Administration are not interested in protecting the rights of gun owners, but rather in restricting them in an attempt to score political points.

It's time for the Biden Administration and Democratic Party to recognize that the right to bear arms is a fundamental right that should not be infringed upon. It's time for them to take the time to understand the concerns of the American people and to work together to find solutions that protect our rights and keep our communities safe. Anything less is hypocritical and a disservice to the American people.
