Rep. Mo Brooks Says We Need Our Guns So We Can 'Take Back' The Nation

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala,) is absolutely opposed to any new restrictions on guns — even regarding military-style assault weapons — because people need them to “take back” our government, he explained on Fox News Sunday.

Such action should only be undertaken in the event America becomes “dictatorial,” Brooks told host Sandra Smith.

Brooks absolutely, and completely baselessly, is convinced the last presidential election was “stolen” from Donald Trump — which could be considered dictatorial.

The lawmaker highlighted that slippery slope when he immediately went at it with Smith, and angrily defended his fantasy of a rigged election.

Because the last civil war worked out so well for you guys.

...the ones they want to kill they don't consider as "fellow Americans" because they've 'othered' them.

Mo Brooks hasn't a clue. All he's doing is repeating fascist code. Brooks is a mess.

He's just as much of a liar and agitator as Trump. He's another one I'd like to see behind bars although of course it will never happen.
