U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) admitted something we all knew last weekend at the March for our Lives rally in Parkland, Florida, when asked about the gun control “framework” that a bipartisan group of 20 Senators have said they support.
It’s just the beginning, she said, and more “significant” gun control is coming.
“We were expecting moderate reform at best, I wasn’t expecting anything of significance,” Wasserman Schultz told MSNBC’s Alex Witt. “Anything you can do to put an obstacle in the path of someone who would do themselves or someone else harm and save a life, is a step we should take while saying we should push for a lot more. This is only the beginning, it has to be only the beginning, not the end.”
Wasserman Schultz added that “extremists” will now likely target Senate Republicans and “everyone in congress.”
“We absolutely have an opportunity to move forward, and let me just be clear, Alex, for those of us who support much more significant reform, this is just the beginning,” she said. “We have to begin to make some progress, I’m glad that those 10 senators had the courage thus far.”
In Congress, Wasserman Schultz is far from being a back-bench first-termer. When she makes an admission like this – that the Senate plan is just the beginning and more gun control is coming – she is certainly not speaking out of turn. She has been in Congress since 2005 and serves as the Chief Deputy Whip of the Democratic Caucus. She was the first woman to chair the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Subcommittee, and she also serves on the Committee on Oversight and Reform, which according to her website, “has vast jurisdiction over the government and private sector, and plays a key role in overseeing the Biden Administration.”
Wasserman Schultz’s comments prove that if we willingly give the gun banners a slice of bread every time we sit down with them, eventually, they’ll have the whole loaf. She just said the quiet part out loud. There will be no appeasement if we agree to let them infringe on our constitutional rights. All the Senate plan will do is whet their appetite.
It is clear based on the Congresswoman’s comments that their true goals remain “assault weapon” and standard-capacity magazine bans and restricting firearm sales to those over 21. These were their goals before the Senate “framework” agreement was announced. These remain their goals today.
Anyone who thinks that the bipartisan Senate plan will somehow stop the gun banners from trying to achieve their ultimate goal of total civilian disarmament is deluding themselves. They will never stop. There will be no appeasement, regardless of what happens in the Senate.

The late Associate Justice, John Paul Stevens, is on record: “The Second Amendment was a mistake”. Never forget, this is the inspiration for much, if not all, of anti-gun activism.
The 2nd prohibits any and all from infringing. The feds have zero legal authority over our ownership, possession, carrying, building or purchasing firearms.
If anyone hasn’t yet figured it out, the Leftists of either party has but one goal when it comes to the 2 nd. amendment, to negate it to a degree it means nothing, that or it’s repeal.
The founders warned us of such scoundrels.
Will not comply. period. Congress can F*** off
hang every tax funded traitor.
Madge Simpson AKA Wasserman Schultz is a Communist. She is one step up the biological chain from a worm.
I don’t think the American Govt is prepared for a second civil war that is coming because of the 2A rights given to us from God to defend us against the tyrants in charge…the days ahead will be very interesting and made turn bloody
Odd how so many people fail to understand that the ONLY WAY the government can have ANY power over you is IF YOU ALLOW IT!
There is more people ending their lives by using illegal drugs that are laced with Fentanyl yet our elected officials are very quiet about stopping the drug cartels from sending this poison into our country with the open southern border they won’t secure.
We have elected officials that need to be sent home and out of the government control machine.
No new laws are needed about guns, enforce the laws on the books.
These Anti-Constitutional SYCOPHANTS, communists and NAZIs MUST be OUSTED from EVERY Public Office POST HASTE! I do not care how THEY label themselves! SOOOooo tired of these Anti-Americans that are trying to DESTROY America and CANCELLING Legal Law Abiding American Citizens RIGHTS that ARE ACKNOWLEDGED by OUR AMERICAN CONSTITUTION!!!!!
They are pushing for the 2nd revolution. It will be different from the last. There will be a list and they will be removed from earth one at a time. Not in dc but on their home turf. 100 body guards will not be able to protect them. Not only politicians but those that spew this garbage in organizations and online. They can only hide so long and patriots are patient.
