U.S. Politicians Cheer New Zealand Gun Confiscation
nraila.org ^ | March 22, 2019

American gun owners have once again been reminded that the ultimate goal of U.S. gun control advocates is firearms bans and confiscation. Since the heinous terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, American anti-gun politicians, activists, and media outlets have offered their full-throated support for the New Zealand government’s efforts to ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding gun owners.

~~~~~SNIP~~~~~~

Failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tweeted her support for Ardern’s confiscations measures, stating, “Under @jacindaardern's leadership, New Zealand has banned assault rifles and military-style semi-automatic weapons just six days after the Christchurch mosque attacks. Public servants didn't stop at offering thoughts and prayers. They chose to act.” In 2015 Clinton expressed her support for Australia-style gun confiscation.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stated via Twitter, “This is what real action to stop gun violence looks like. We must follow New Zealand's lead, take on the NRA and ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons in the United States.”

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) tweeted out a video of Ardern’s confiscation announcement, adding, “See. It’s not that hard.”

Bottom Line:

"Gun confiscation, not “common-sense reform,” is the ultimate goal of gun control advocates. This goal existed long before the Christchurch attack. The recent stateside reaction to the New Zealand government’s actions has only served to further reveal this long-held but oft-concealed position."

That gun confiscation is the ultimate goal of democrats has long been evident to anyone possessing the most basic observation skills. It’s so obvious that any dem politician that spouts the party line of “nobody’s coming for your guns” is losing political credibility because it’s obvious they’re blatantly lying. They’d be better off just saying nothing instead of such an obvious lie.

Still waiting for one of these gun-grabbers to cowboy up and publicly declare he/she will no longer require the armed security detail protecting them. Time to walk the talk.

NZ is not America. Americans are sovereign citizens, for starters. And Americans are ready and able to defeat any such attempt

Gun Confiscation is not going to play well in many blue States.
WI, MN, CO, AZ and much of the midwest.
I could make a great deal of $$$ doing ads for Trump.
The GOP-e will probably demand the Old Guard do the ads.

New,Zealand doesn’t have our Constitution or its 2nd Amendment. Let the twerp from Connecticut try to take away our guns. He might not find it so easy.

The biggest lies in the world:

The check is in the mail.

No one wants to take your guns.

Even in Maryland, you still have many rural parts in it. In Western and Southern parts of the state, sheriffs would refuse to confiscate guns.

Fine. Let them all move to New Zealand.

Perhaps that is their plan, since supposedly NZ has no extradition arrangement with the US. Now that they're disarming the NZ populace, the cabal refugees can move there and have their own little totalitarian enclave. At least until the dark shapes in the night take them away, that is.

And the NRA has been complicit in setting up The Swamp to think they’d just stand aside when the going gets tough because they didn’t oppose the bumpstock BS so it’s fallen to GOA and an individual in UT to take it into the courts. As for me, I see no utility in the novelty and have never owned one. That still doesn’t give me authority to restrict the freedom of another person who wants one when it violates no law (as the BATFE recognized under the Obama admin). Taking freedom away from the law-abiding due to the actions of law-breakers is not part of what this country was founded to be.

Do you think politicians who want to confiscate our self-defense tools understand at some level they will be the target at some point for attempting to take our God-given natural rights? The pendulum swings both ways.

America is not a safe place to live and it’s getting worse daily as more illegals and Muslims get through our bad immigration system. We will be needing those tools far more than we do today and we really need them now.

Never forget there are those behind the lines in enemy territory like NJ. Do not underestimate our resolve when the balloon goes up.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
That is the ‘defense’ they will use when they want to double their security teams.

“I would give up my security but there are too many people who want to get even with me” etc etc

‘WE’ will NEVER get close to them until we use the same ‘reasoning’ they do—’we’ screw up trying to fight the Marquis of Queensbury rules while they are street fighting, Like ‘BO’ had implied, they come in high, we come in low, they have a knife, we have a gun etc etc.

Get a low educated group that you have plied with ‘goodies’, incite them and we either have to get down in the mud with them or fall to them.
