Primary Debates Label Gun Manufacturers ‘Enemies’

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Democratic hopefuls squared off in the first primary debate over two days and they had plenty to say about the gun control plans they would enact if elected. Perhaps the most important take away from the two nights is that the candidates advocated or passively supported gun confiscation, rhetorically couched as “gun buybacks.”

Not a single one of the 20 candidates spoke in opposition to confiscation or the respect for the Second Amendment. So, the Democrats really are coming for your guns. The other key takeaway is that former Vice President Joe Biden believes the firearm industry is the “enemy.”

In addition, nearly all candidates embrace a ban on modern sporting rifles and standard capacity magazines and instituting universal background checks. Biden would mandate that all firearms sold be equipped with unreliable biometric authorized user recognition technology, sometimes called “smart guns.” Let’s recap what the candidates had to say about infringing on the Second Amendment. –

DEBATE PART I

Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.): equated crimes with firearms to a health crisis, calling it a ‘national health emergency,” but ducked answering whether she supports confiscation proposals.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) said, “I hear gunshots in my neighborhood,” and proposed a national licensing program, requiring training standards. Sen. Booker also wants to restrict handguns sales to once per month. He claimed to MSNBC that the majority of Americans agree with his plans to require licensing and training standards to exercise American rights.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) tried to convince debate viewers that a forced buyback scheme to collect the more than 16 million privately-owned modern sporting rifles isn’t confiscation as long as the government makes an “offer.”

I’ll bet gun sales will boom over the next year thanks to the totalitarian streak of these gun-grabbers. I hope all decent and law-abiding Americans will buy lots of guns and especially ammo over the next year and a half, just in case we have an emerging need to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.

“Every last one of them want to either confiscate or make owning a firearm next to impossible.”

Do you think Elizabeth or Joe will don a ninja clown suit and go door-to-door and confiscate firearms?

Next question: when all their weenie, mercenary gun-grabbers are dead or running for the hills, where do you suppose Elizabeth and Joe might hide?

Last question: Should we go through the formalities of dragging Elizabeth and Joe before an American-style Nuremberg trial or skip that?

“Here they come!”

That’s episodic.

They would take down one lone ranger at a time. One way would be to imprison each person who defends himself with an outlawed weapon. Many other situations would allow for easy confiscations. It would be an incremental campaign of fear and attrition.

Or we could try standing united as an organization that would help to get President Trump reelected and keep enough pro-Second-Amendment politicians in Congress.
