Members of the Democratic Party are in full panic mode, doing whatever they can to stop the President Trump from building a wall to curtail illegal immigration, thus denying him yet another victory in keeping his campaign promises.
They are now threatening to infringe upon our Second Amendment rights if the SCOTUS declares President Trump's National Emergency Declaration constitutional. They say they will declare 'Gun Control' a National Emergency if a Democrat becomes President in 2020, Fox News reports.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi:
“Just think of what a president with different values can present to the American people, Want to talk about a national emergency? Let’s talk about today, the one year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America. That’s a national emergency. Why don’t you declare that emergency Mr. President? I wish you would. But a Democratic president can do that. A Democratic President can declare emergencies as well.”
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn:
“100 people die from guns every day. That’s a national emergency. If Trump gets away w this border emergency declaration, then a Dem President can declare a gun violence emergency and institute universal background checks and an assault weapons ban by executive action.”

If Trump gets away w this border emergency declaration, then a Dem President can declare a gun violence emergency and institute universal background checks and an assault weapons ban by executive action.
So...
Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro:
“I will come into office with a strong belief that climate change is a national emergency, that the fact that so many people in this country die because of gun violence, that is a national emergency.”
“If the president’s action, in this case, is upheld by the Supreme Court, then it does open up new avenues for future presidents to take action.”
And they have plenty of company:
I stand in solidarity with those rallying across the country against the President’s manufactured national emergency. It’s time we address the actual emergencies plaguing our nation: gun violence, lack of access to health care, and climate change.

Gun violence is an emergency.

Climate change is an emergency.
Our country's opioid epidemic is an emergency.
Donald Trump's ridiculous wall is not an emergency.
Mass shootings are a national emergency. We can't accept so many lives being taken from us by gun violence, or the gun lobby greed that trades lives for profits. I'm praying for the Aurora, Illinois community and the victims' loved ones. We have to stop this crisis.

Heartbroken over the situation in Aurora, Illinois. We in Colorado know too well the pain Aurora is feeling tonight. Gun violence is the real national emergency plaguing our nation. It’s time we finally did something about it.

According to the NRA:
“Since 1991, the murder rate has fallen by 45 percent and the overall violent crime rate has fallen by 48 percent,” the pro-Second Amendment group said in a release. “At the same time that violent crime was falling, Americans were acquiring a record number of firearms.”
Does this mean that President Trump should abandon the wall and rescind his National Emergency Declaration? Absolutely not! But what it does mean is that we the people are going to have to go to the ballot boxes in 2020 and make sure the Democrat's Presidential candidate does not get elected.
There is no doubt in my mind that the Democrats will try this stunt whether or not the SCOTUS declares the National Emergency Declaration constitutional. They have become a party that is dangerous to the very existence of our Republic as witnessed by some of their congressional freshman. Don't make the same mistake in 2020!
