Someday, people will look back and say “You know, Norm had a pretty good Idea about putting liberals in cages.”

Cash for clunkers provided cash for trash.

The incredible armories in the US are not junk nor trash so this is not happening.

Before the government ever got any of my guns, I would pass them out like candy to freedom minded Americans.

She compared it to what Australia did, which was gun confiscation.

She is saying exactly what the gun owners have always said about gun registration, it will lead to confiscation.

Canada is a bad example, they recently scrapped their long gun registry because no one registered. Non-compliance on a massive scale got them to back down.

This is EXCELLENT news.

I'm glad that these POS Communist filth are actually running as POS Communist filth, instead of this "New Democrat" or "sensible, common-sense" moderate Democrats and such.

Beat your chests loud and say what you're going to do. That makes my decision that much easier, because I ain't depending on some stupid ballot box to save America.

“Doing it for guns just like “cash for clunkers” for cars? “

The stated intention of cash for clunkers was to remove old, polluting cars from the roads and replace them with new, more energy efficient cars. The actual intention was to do away with the cheap used car to force kids to take the bus. This is clearly demonstrated by the requirement that the car not only be crushed, but the engine had to be ruined as well. No part could be reused.

In actuality the program moved forward demand and caused much hardship on the part of auto manufacturers, one of the intended beneficiaries, by giving them some very bad sales months after the program ended. IN addition the replacement cars were, on average, much less efficient as people bought mostly trucks and SUV’s. The other initial effect was to eliminate the cheap used car market. But here we are several years later and used cars are cheaper in real terms than any time since the 1970’s. The program was a massive failure by any measure.

So, go ahead and do the same for guns. I could use a few upgrades.

This is what a disarmed American population will look like, and this is what will happen to them.

The men in masks are whoever wants control over them. Pick your control freak, they are all around us.

You can't take our guns, Hillary, they are our God given right, so you can go straight to Hell, Little Missy.

We're not selling guns, Hillbat, we're buying them. Millions of them.

The Dem/libs have been engaging in a steady push to infringe on our right
to keep and bear arms for decades. And this is how it has been working out
for them in the last two decades...

And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)

And it continues...

And there is more...

And more...

And yet more...

And more and more and...

KEEP FLAPPIN' YOUR LIPS, HILLARY! WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)

On the last day of the deadline to personally turn in banned guns to “authorities” in Australia, hundreds stood in line in a thunderstorm and pouring rain to surrender them.

I can’t see that happening here. The War for Independence started here when the soldiers of the Crown came to collect the colonists’ guns at Lexington. That and still is because an armed citizenry is a free citizenry.

If Hitlary feels that way about guns she should tell her security detail to throw their guns out and carry oranges instead

I think the Democrats are about to find out how many Democrats, Independents and Hispanics own guns.

And they won’t be amused

Proposing outright gun confiscation? Stick a fork in her, she’s done.

And all the clunker guns would be turned in and the Libs will say “Hurrah! We’re now gun free!”
