McConnell Email Flogs Gun Grab Paranoia
Here’s another example of the GOP’s classic “keep them scared” campaign tactic:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky.) campaign is calling for supporters to back his opposition to expanded gun controls, warning in a new email that “they’re coming for your guns.”
“You and I are literally surrounded. The gun-grabbers in the Senate are about to launch an all-out-assault on the Second Amendment. On your rights. On your freedom,” the email opens.
It goes on to warn that “our freedom is under direct assault … from those who want to shred our Constitution.”
