Last week, former center-left Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens wrote an op-ed in the New York Times calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. Liberals and the mainstream media largely ignored the op-ed, with some – like CNN’s Chris Cuomo – tweeting that “no one” is calling for a repeal of the Second Amendment.
this is a lot of bunk. no one calling for 2A repeal. stop with the bogeymen. we need to stop the shootings and have a rational conversation about what can be done. https://t.co/P2MYoY4EtO

Well, Cuomo and friends certainly have egg on their face now, because Louisiana Democratic Party Chairwoman and state Senator Karen Carter Peterson retweeted Stevens’s op-ed with the comment: “Repeal the Second Amendment.”

Peterson, by the way, serves as the vice chair of civic engagement and voter participation for the Democratic National Committee.
Clearly, there are people who want to repeal the Second Amendment; and while the media have their collective heads buried in the sand, We the People won’t stand for it.
Nothing to see here just a Democratic representative calling for repeal on the 2nd amendment. https://t.co/OrTMZLKw19

Chairwoman of the Democrat Party of Louisiana, Karen Carter Peterson, shares her radical leftist position on guns.

This is the chair of the *Louisiana* Democrat party. Louisiana’s current governor is a Dem and I can’t imagine he’s too happy about this considering he’s up for reelection next year https://t.co/71X6dex84Q

Spread this around. I can’t tell you how many liberals have told me that “no one wants to repeal the second amendment”. Vote her out! https://t.co/7v86zZBOzt

Following Peterson’s tweet, the Louisiana Democratic Party attempted to do damage control by issuing a statement that the state party is “a strong supporter of the Second Amendment” and that Peterson’s tweet is not reflective of the party’s position.
Do Americans believe them? I’m sure we’ll find out come November.
Share this to help spread the truth about the Democratic position on the Second Amendment!
