Abdul El-Sayed Repeats Tired and Stupid Leftist Trope About the Second Amendment Being About Muskets – The NRA Responds Hilariously

Much of the criticism of Abdul El-Sayed has focused on foreign policy because that is what he tends to talk about the most, but he is just as much of a disaster on domestic policy and this moment is proof of that.

In a video that’s currently going viral on Twitter/X, El-Sayed repeats the leftist lie that the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was written expressly about muskets.

It is the same stupid and untrue argument that liberals have been making for decades.

And note, El-Sayed says these words into a microphone, without a hint of irony.

From Louder With Crowder:

Abdul El-Sayed basically admits you can say goodbye to your 2nd Amendment Rights if he’s elected

The problem with the government infringing on our rights is that they were never given that power. This is why our founding documents explicitly state that our rights come from God, making them inalienable. This is not rocket science, but anyone who disagrees is a tyrannical buffoon who should be automatically barred from holding office. Abdul El-Sayed is that person.

According to El-Sayed, there is this little thing called context. And when the Constitution was written, the context was that guns were nothing like they are today. He believes innovation is not allowed when it comes to the Second Amendment. You can kiss your guns goodbye, and maybe the government will allow you to own a musket or two, but only if you are good.

Correction: The Constitution was created to prevent people like him from trampling on your God-given rights. Does he really think voters are this stupid?

Conservative talk host Jesse Kelly had a perfect response to this:

Next time a communist tells you, “We only had muskets when the 2nd amendment was written.”, ask them how many mosques we had when the 1st amendment was written.

The NRA offered this hilarious take:

People in America are watching what is unfolding in France.

You know what makes a difference here in America? Unlike the French, the American people are armed to the teeth.

And it’s going to stay that way.
