Mika: Why Not a Gun Ban Like in Australia? (the TRUE goal of leftists)
Newsbusters ^

Posted on 10/05/2015 5:13:09 PM PDT by Red in Blue PA

They really are coming for your guns . . . After the Charleston church shootings, President Obama praised Australia's draconian gun laws, which included a mandatory buy-back program, AKA confiscation.

On today's Morning Joe, Mika wondered "why" we couldn't institute a similar gun ban in the United States, throwing in support for a database of all gun ownership for good measure. Joe Scarborough was actually obliged to explain to Mika that her gun ban was never going to happen because we have the Second Amendment here. That left Mika grimacing in regret [see the screengrab].

Mika is a clueless emotional loser, like all liberal “women.”

I believe the guns were registered in Australia and Britain so when they came for them the government knew who had what, and told them to turn them in.

This has been the liberal’s wet dream since 1962 when Thomas J Dodd and Emanuel Cellar called for the registration of ONLY HANDGUNS! Rifles would not be affected.

Then two years later they called for the registration of ALL guns, then a ban on small “Saturday Night Specials”, then a ban on all handguns, then a ban on semi-auto rifles and shotguns. And so on it goes.
You can go on certain Lib web sites in which they call for the abolition of all private ownership of guns, and prison time for scofflaws. Think of how many prisons will have to be built!

I say to Mika and he ilk...try to repeal the 2nd Amendment. Come on...propose it, say it, campaign on it. DO IT!!!

What you are proposing... dear lady is unconstitutional. You are going to have to repeal the 2nd before you can do anything. The people will not comply if you go with Exec Orders, the courts, or even legislation. You are going to have to propose, and expend political capital to campaign on on outright repeal for it to have any meaning.

If you intend to do anything less, the public will never comply....ever!!

Now obviously it would be political suicide to propose and campaign on a repeal of the 2nd Amendment. But, Mika and your leftist comrades that’s what it’s going to take.

Even without a constitution, gun control is kinda like trying to solve drunk driving by making it harder for sober people to own cars.

Does the US Constitution mean anything anymore?

The Constitution is not taught in school anymore. That might offend someone.

Yeah, so tell us also how’s it working out for them? Mika should check her American history and find out what happened when George the 3d tried that. All those guns would go underground - she’d hope that maybe we should listen to the governement and turn in our guns. Said no American ever.

Pathetic.

Guns aren’t banned in Australia. Don’t let gun grabbers tell you they are. Every time they say that, it’s easy to show they don’t know what they are talking about and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Liberals believe they can locate and confiscate 320 million guns (guns which can be stashed in basements, under seat cushions, anywhere) and yet they cannot find and deport 14 million illegals out of this country.

Here's a thought to warm some of your hearts.... From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia:

"Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in: Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent, Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent; Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)! In the state of Victoria.....alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)

While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns....'

You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.

The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens."

feel free to pass this on to idiot girl.

“Liberals believe they can locate and confiscate 320 million guns”

And they also believe somehow we will let them. :-)

I believe it’s a lot more than 320 million firearms.

Mika Says: “I know it sounds completely constraining to the members of the NRA, but are we going to do nothing? Just wait until it comes to your front door?”

My front door leads into my house. My house is NOT a gun free zone. Any libtards orJBT want to find out what that means?

Because Australia’s attempt DIDN’T WORK.

So, why do we want to try a plan we already know doesn’t solve the problem ..??

This is the same garbage the left always does .. they just keep repeating the same thing over and over, even though they never see any result.

Socialism; Communism are the same .. they have been tried and tried and tried .. AND THEY STILL DON’T WORK.

“Fair enough.Why not trying to repeal the Second Amendment first?”


You can’t take away pre-existing rights. The B.O.R. merely RECOGNIZED those rights that we already had. Also, the ratification of the Constitution itself was based on a promise to send a B.O.R. to the states for ratification. Abrogate ANY of them, and the Constitution itself is void.

I’m pretty sure that you know this, but it still needs to be stated.
