Hillery Gun Confiscation “worth looking at”



How completely clueless, the NRA will have fun making ads out of this. For those that don't know, the "Australian example" she mentioned *was* confiscation...

I wonder, who is she going to get to enforce that, I wonder just whom they are going to get to go around and "take them away" as the old man says?

This "gun control" fever, is amazing, sort of like watching' the fundies going nuts on Abortion.

5. There's plenty here on DU who would wholeheartedly support this.

And plenty of politicians in a position of power have called for this.

7. Is calling for the confiscation of guns 'actually coming for your guns'

If you mean teams of jack booted thugs (added in NRA shaming) on the road coming to physically grab a gun away then I don't believe so. Other more informed posters might know of cases where banned guns are being confiscated. Now bans would physically prevent someone from having a specific type of gun.

As already noted, I've seen it openly stated in several threads, they are calling for the banning of all civilian guns. Often times, the threads include calls for killing anyone not willing to give their gun up. There are national level gun control organizations that have had leadership on record calling for banning all civilian guns.

So short of the most limited and microscopic interpretation of your list request, there are indeed people coming for guns.

2. I'm curious as to how she plans to get around the 2A,

the SCOTUS, the LEO's that would flat out refuse to enforce this, the millions upon millions of citizens that would basically give the finger to this law?

The NRA must be loving this.

It ain't gonna work, and it will come back and bite her in the ass.
