“如果我们修改宪法，修改[第二修正案]，而不是赋予持枪权，我们把它改为享有医疗保健的权利，那会怎样？”这不是大学活动家。这是阿卜杜勒·埃尔-赛义德 — — 密歇根州美国参议院民主党提名人 — — 在他自己的摄像头前，在自己的频道上说话。而这是他决定想要进入世界上最强大的立法机构之一席位后，悄悄将自己频道上的许多视频设为私密的众多视频之一。
"What if we tweaked the Constitution, amended the [Second A]mendment, and instead of the right to bear arms, we change it to the right to have health care?" That is not a college activist. That is Abdul El-Sayed — the Democratic nominee for United States Senate in Michigan — talking into his own camera, on his own channel. And it is one of many videos that he quietly made private from his channel once he decided he wanted a seat in the world’s most powerful legislative body.
来自两大全国性政党之一的美国参议院提名人，他有真实的获胜机会，积极提出了取代第二修正案的想法 — — 而不仅仅是监管它，这已经够糟了。
A U.S. Senate nominee from one of the two major national parties, who has a legitimate chance to win, actively floated the idea of replacing the Second Amendment — not merely regulating it, which would be bad enough.
这不是典型的反枪民主党言论。这是来自远左民主党的危险且新颖的先例。他们意识到法院日益不愿允许他们规范我们持有和携带武器的权利。就在最近，在ANJRPC诉新泽西州总检察长案中，美国第三巡回上诉法院裁定，新泽西州对“攻击性武器”和“大容量弹匣”的禁令违宪。而在六月，美国最高法院同意审理针对伊利诺伊州库克县对“攻击性武器”的禁令以及康涅狄格州对“大容量弹匣”的禁令的挑战，案件以维拉蒙特斯命名。
This is not your typical anti-gun Democrat rhetoric. This is a dangerous and new precedent coming from far-left Democrats. They realize the courts are increasingly unwilling to permit them to regulate our right to keep and bear arms. Just recently, in ANJRPC v. Attorney General of New Jersey, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit ruled that New Jersey’s ban on "assault weapons" and "high-capacity magazines" was unconstitutional. And in June, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a challenge to Cook County, IL’s ban on "assault weapons" and Connecticut’s ban on "high-capacity magazines" under Viramontes.
特朗普前所未有的通过司法部扩大第二修正案权利的战略计划内部揭秘 然而，密歇根州民众看穿了这一闹剧。臭名昭著的枪支管控组织“妈妈们要求行动”背书了埃尔-赛义德。“妈妈们要求行动”是反枪组织“全城为枪支安全”的草根分支，该组织的一个公开目标是禁止美国最流行的半自动运动步枪。而密歇根州民众知道，埃尔-赛义德赞同“全城为枪支安全”所提出的大多数，如果不是全部的话，政策目标。
INSIDE TRUMP'S UNPRECEDENTED BATTLE PLAN TO EXPAND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS THROUGH JUSTICE DEPARTMENT However, Michiganders see through this charade. The infamous gun control group Moms Demand Action has endorsed El-Sayed. Moms Demand Action is the grassroots arm of Everytown for Gun Safety, an anti-gun organization whose one of its stated goals is to ban the most popular semi-automatic sporting rifle in America. And Michiganders know that El-Sayed is in favor of most, if not all, the policy objectives stated by Everytown for Gun Safety.
在2018年竞选密歇根州州长时，埃尔-赛义德支持禁止“攻击性武器”，拥护“红旗法”，并采纳了其他一系列反枪支立场。争议视频本身并非新闻重点——这段视频才是揭示其政治议程的坦白。针对CNN关于视频被删除的报道，埃尔-赛义德的竞选团队回应称：“从旧播客中挑选出断章取义的评论，并不能反映他如今的信念。”
In his 2018 run for Governor of Michigan, El-Sayed supported an "assault weapons" ban, backed red flag laws, and embraced a host of other anti-gun positions. The video in question is not the story — the video is the confession that explains the agenda. El-Sayed’s campaign responded to a CNN article about the deleted videos by saying, "Cherry-picked comments from old podcasts don’t reflect his beliefs today."
但他从未希望或预料到这些言论会被曝光——这正是他试图隐藏视频的原因。最近，当福克斯新闻的杰西·沃特斯追问他关于废除第二修正案的言论时，埃尔-赛义德避而不答，声称“人们更担心能否看得到医生，而不是能否拥有枪支”。显然，CNN实际上并未断章取义。
But he never wanted nor expected these comments to surface — that’s why he tried to hide the video. When recently pressed by Jesse Watters at Fox on his comments to abolish the Second Amendment, El-Sayed dodged the question by claiming "people are more worried about whether or not they can see a doctor than whether or not they can have a gun." It would seem that CNN in fact did not cherry-pick comments.
埃尔-赛义德一次又一次地向未来的选民证明，他宁愿抛出社会主义的论调，通过摧毁美国宪法来推行社会主义议程。他的目标是抹除一切民族自豪感、美国人的权利，以及使这个国家成为世界历史上最伟大国家的文化。将这样的人选入美国参议院，是危险且鲁莽的。
Time and time again, El-Sayed continues to prove to his future constituents that he would rather spill socialist talking points and implement a socialist agenda by decimating the U.S. Constitution. His goal is to erase any kind of national pride, the rights of Americans, and the culture that makes this country the greatest in the history of the world. Electing someone like this to the United States Senate is dangerous and reckless.
埃尔-赛义德在曝光的社交媒体视频中反对第二修正案。此外，他最近获得的背书证明，埃尔-赛义德意图削弱密歇根州民众依据第二修正案所享有的权利。前国会议员加布里埃尔·吉福兹——因曾呼吁“不再需要枪支”而声名狼藉——及其控枪组织刚刚背书支持了埃尔-赛义德。事实上，在吉福兹宣布支持埃尔-赛义德的声明中，埃尔-赛义德本人也说道：“能够获得吉福兹政治行动委员会的背书，我感到非常荣幸。”这显然并非一位声称后悔曾呼吁废除第二修正案的候选人会发表的言论。
EL-SAYED ARGUED AGAINST THE SECOND AMENDMENT IN UNEARTHED SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEOS Plus, his most recent endorsement proves that El-Sayed intends to undermine Michigander’s Second Amendment rights. Former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords — infamous for calling for "no more guns" — along with her gun control group just endorsed El-Sayed. In fact, in Giffords’ announcement of El-Sayed’s endorsement, El-Sayed himself said, "it’s an honor to receive the endorsement of Giffords PAC." This is not the statement from a candidate who supposedly regrets calling for the abolition of the Second Amendment.
像埃尔-赛义德这样的反枪支人士非常恐惧：到2027年6月，最高法院很可能会裁定这些“突击武器”禁令违宪。这显然迫使像埃尔-赛义德以及希望推行枪支管制的加州州长加文·纽森等候选人，不得不采取一种前所未有的立场——即主张必须废除或取代第二修正案。
Anti-gunners like El-Sayed are terrified that by June 2027, the Supreme Court is likely to strike down these "assault weapon" bans as unconstitutional. This is apparently forcing candidates like El-Sayed and even California Governor Gavin Newsom, who wish to enact gun control, into taking the unprecedented stance that the Second Amendment needs to be repealed or replaced.
司法部威胁要就“格洛克手枪禁令”起诉加州，称该法律违反了第二修正案。埃尔-赛义德的竞选团队指责CNN对这一事件的报道存在选择性呈现。请记住，他并没有删除相关视频，只是将其设为私密状态。而以下事实表明，这远不止是他在旧播客中的一次口误。
DOJ THREATENS TO SUE CALIFORNIA OVER 'GLOCK BAN,' ARGUING LAW VIOLATES SECOND AMENDMENT El-Sayed’s campaign accuses CNN of cherry-picking the coverage of this story. Remember, he did not delete the video in question. He only set it to private. Here is what makes this more than a slip from an old podcast.
要废除一项宪法修正案，需要国会两院各获得三分之二多数支持，并得到38个州的批准。这几乎不可能实现。然而，参议员负责确认对宪法进行解释的法官。未来6年里，所有联邦法官、巡回法院提名人选以及最高法院大法官，都将经过埃尔-赛义德希望加入的参议院。一个认为第二修正案仅保护各州民兵组织的人，根本无需废除任何文字。他只需不断投票支持反枪支的法官即可。
Repealing a constitutional amendment requires 2/3 of both chambers of Congress and 38 states. It’s not going to happen. However, a senator confirms judges who interpret the Constitution. Every federal judge, circuit nominee, and Supreme Court justice for the next 6 years runs through the chamber El-Sayed wants to join. A man who believes the Second Amendment protects nothing but state militias, does not need to repeal a single word. He only needs to vote, repeatedly, for anti-gun judges.
在过去30年里，枪支管制组织一直告诉我们，他们只希望对第二修正案实施“合乎常理”的限制。如今，法院开始按照第二修正案的原文内容执行持枪权，我们却突然听到有人主张应废除第二修正案本身。他们在宪法争论中处于劣势——而他们的应对方式竟然是修改宪法。
For 30 years, gun control groups told us they only wanted "common sense" restrictions on the Second Amendment. Now that the courts are enforcing the right to bear arms as written, we are suddenly hearing that the Second Amendment itself should go. They are losing the argument about the Constitution — and their answer is to change the Constitution.
因此，埃尔-赛义德先生：请对你所请求选民支持你时保持坦诚。在镜头前，用你自己的话告诉密歇根州，你反对“突击武器”禁令。在此之前，你设为私密状态的视频，就是你真实立场的最好证明。
So Mr. El-Sayed: be transparent with the voters you’re asking to hire you. On camera, in your own words, tell Michigan that you oppose an "assault weapons" ban. Until then, the video you made private stands as your truth.
