A Defense Department official was caught in undercover video discussing how the federal government should ban the Second Amendment and begin seizing the firearms of American citizens.
Jason Beck, who works in Total Force Requirements & Sourcing Policy for Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s office, described his extremist policies during what he thought was a date with journalist James O’Keefe, who was in disguise.
Using the fake name Aiden Gray during the date “sting”, Beck talked of “mobilizing the national guard” to confiscate guns from people’s homes.
“I think we should repeal the Second Amendment and take the guns all away!” Beck told O’Keefe. “Whatever, just take them all.”

Beck went on to say he wants a “monopoly on state violence,” a concept he describes as “‘We [the government], are the only ones with guns.”
Beck also expressed his desire to “pack the Supreme Court” and “abolish the Senate” to pave the way for repealing the Second Amendment.
“We need the majority in the court so they can’t stop the legislation [to ban guns],” he said.
Beck also called for the U.S. to have an open border.
“Like, why do we need quotas? Why not just have an open border?” he asked. “There’s no Taliban coming in through Mexico. When has a terrorist ever come in?”
Beck’s remarks are clearly at odds with the his own government’s statements, including that of FBI Director Christopher Wray who confessed on Monday that “dangerous individuals” were exploiting the open border to illegally enter the United States.
Authoritarian unelected bureaucrats like Beck should be nowhere near the levers of power.
