Leftist Media Pushes Trump to Nominate Anti-Gun Liberal for FBI Chief

For four months, the Leftist media has worked to stampede the Trump administration into jettisoning conservative principles and moving to the Left.
Thus far, the White House has been good on guns.
Trump signed a resolution repealing the Social Security Gun Ban. He signaled that he will sign concealed carry legislation.
Trump’s Supreme Court pick is a lot better than we would have gotten from Hillary Clinton.
And yet the Left keeps trying.
The most recent media “siren song” is a call for Trump to nominate a “moderate” to head the FBI.
From the standpoint of Trump’s self-interest, a liberal nominee would spend the next three and a half years providing fodder for the Left’s campaign to impeach and incarcerate Trump.
But a Leftist nominee will do a lot of damage to the Second Amendment too.
Currently on the table is the question of whether an unpaid parking ticket will make you a “fugitive from justice” and strip you of your gun rights.
The FBI will also decide whether to back up the NICS system and create a de facto national gun registry.
And, if the president orders the FBI to remove the names of 257,000 law-abiding veterans from its NICS gun ban list, there is the question of whether the FBI will comply with that order.
All of which brings us to an anti-gun liberal, former Connecticut Democrat Senator Joe Lieberman.
Make no mistake: Despite what MSNBC thinks, Lieberman is no moderate. True, he staged a revolt against ultra-Left Connecticut Democrats when they tried to nominate someone else for his Senate seat.
Lieberman’s record on guns is abysmal. He voted against legislation to allow law-abiding Americans to exercise their Second Amendment rights in parks, on trains, or in the District of Columbia.
He supports so-called “gun free zones,” which turn innocent civilians into sitting ducks.
