X owner Elon Musk warned over the weekend that the Democrat Party’s position on firearms is similar to what other totalitarian regimes have done in the past before they end up oppressing their citizens.
Musk’s warning came in response to Sen. Raphael Warnock (R-GA) expressing an openness to having gun confiscation in the U.S., remarks he made in response to Vice President Kamala Harris previously indicating that she supported gun confiscation.
Warnock made the remarks during a Sunday interview on NBC News’ “Meet The Press” with Kristen Welker when asked about if Harris should still be “supporting a mandatory gun buy-back program.”
Warnock said that the Democrats were not going to be able to “get where we need to go without action in Congress.”
“We’ve got to pass some laws to deal with this,” he claimed. “The least we can do is move forward on the bipartisan spaces where ordinary people agree. Clearly, there’s a disconnect between what the people, the American people want and what they’re able to get out of their government.”
Warnock claimed that officials “don’t even want to know who those people are” that are buying firearms, even though people have to undergo federal background checks to buy guns.
When pressed again on whether Democrats should support gun confiscation, Warnock said “I think that, again, there’s not one single thing that will make all of this go away.”
Musk responded to the clip by posting on X: “The right to bear arms is there to protect free speech and stop a tyrannical government from taking your rights away!”
“That’s why the first thing that all tyrants do is disarm the people, just like Chavez did when he was first elected,” he continued. “After that, no more real elections in Venezuela.”
