ATLANTAāMississippi Gov. Phil Bryant on Saturday urged a small group of college students and others to take up arms in defense of the Second Amendment.
āIf you think the left isnāt coming for your guns, look at Australia, he said. āThe only thing the left is upset about, the only thing they fear is the Second Amendment.ā
His remarks came at a college leadership forum during the National Rifle Associationās annual convention in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday.Ā Ā
Mississippi has traditionally been a strong gun rights state, but last year Bryant signed a bill allowing permitless carry there. Bryant, a former deputy sheriff, also touted his own gun ownership.
āIf thereās an active shooter at the capitol, Iām not going to hide behind my desk,ā Bryant said. āIām going to put some led down range on someone.ā
Bryant slammed liberals for trying to control gun legislation.
āThey believe that somewhere they can tell us what to do,ā Bryant said, adding that liberals want a bureaucracy of control.
That control extends to college campuses, Bryant said, ribbing Greek literature and music appreciation majors he said are the ones most likely to ācome out to riot.ā
They wonāt take away Second Amendment rights, Bryant said. āWe will not go quietly into the night.ā
