Missouri Dems: Let’s Just Force Gun Owners to Surrender, Destroy Their Weapons
Town Hall ^ | 2/18/13 | Leah Barkoukis

Why wait for the supply to dry up over time when you could just force gun owners to surrender or destroy their weapons immediately? Missouri Democrats think it’s a good idea:

Democrats in the state House have proposed a bill that would force gun owners to either surrender or destroy weapons including semi-automatic rifles with detachable magazines and semi-automatic pistols with a fixed magazine that can shoot more than 10 rounds before being reloaded.

Ammunition-feeding devices that can hold more than 10 rounds also would be banned. Owners also could send their weapons to another state instead of surrendering or destroying them and would have 90 days after the bill’s passage to make a decision.

While it’s highly unlikely the bill will pass in the Republican-controlled House, it is another example of Democrats’ extreme anti-gun agenda, which is being played out not just at the federal level but in state legislatures across the nation as well.

Forcing gun owners to surrender or destroy such weapons is tantamount to confiscation—so in this sense, these Dems have learned a thing or two from the Justice Department’s internal memos:

Well that's mighty big of them, since they have no jurisdiction to say otherwise anyway.

I guess the idiots never considered that even if this passed people would sell the weapons or store them out of state........

I'd expect that a great many people would claim to have sold or moved the weapons out of state while quietly defying this law.

Do you think there has ever been a victim of a home invasion who has said to themselves afterwards "Damn, I had too many rounds. Turned out I only needed 10 so I had 20 left over. What was I thinking?"

The fact that the bill in question has zero chance of passage ought not comfort anyone who still cares about freedom.

Increasingly, the masks are falling from the faces of people who yet refer to themselves as "Democrats", when in fact they are totalitarians-in waiting. Your freedom is their obstacle.

If there was a record of the owner’s having legally bought a now banned weapon, then the authorities could have probable cause to get a search warrant to turn over every stone on the property to find it. Out of state storage would create a whole new business opportunity for someone to open a commercial armory facility to store out of state owners’ weapons.............

The Democrat election targets are certainly giving the Republicans perfect clarity on whom to take out in the coming elections, aren’t they!????

These Dems are certainly not upholding the oaths they took, either.

Anybody who predicted six months ago that this was what they would do if they could was called paranoid.

That is exactly right. Great Leader and the democrats did not tell us they were going to try to confiscate guns. Had they been honest about their intentions, we would have a different president today.

For some reason the elected never put such ideas as this to a public vote at election time. Why is that?

My response to the Dims is...

Bring it. I won’t comply and if you try to use force, well... don’t be surprised when it backfires on you hard.

Gun owners should send Democrats to another state at gun point or let them surrender, renounce their party and give them 90 days after the bill is defeated to make a decision.
