Dems adopt new tactic for gun confiscation
wnd.com ^ | 4/27/2017 | Leo Hohmann

New York State Sen. Daniel Squadron, D-Manhattan, has a plan to snare conservatives into coughing up their gun rights.

Democrats have come up with a creative way of selectively confiscating guns from certain residents, and several Second Amendment watchdogs say the strategy could soon be coming to a state near you.

A state legislator from Manhattan has introduced a bill that would nullify gun rights from those convicted of hate crimes, even those involving nonviolent, misdemeanor offenses.

If successful, New York would become the seventh state to implement such a law.

The FBI defines a hate crime as a “criminal offense against a person or property motivated in whole or in part by an offender’s bias against a race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender, or gender identity.”

But, as Guns America News and Reviews reminds New Yorkers, the FBI makes it clear that “hate itself is not a crime” and that the agency is “mindful of protecting freedom of speech and other civil liberties.”

My right to self defense and gun ownership comes from God not from the state, so I feel no obligation to obey any law or court order to turn in my guns. and regardless, they can’t take what they don’t know I own....

Being part of something gives me knowledge that you obviously do not have. Spend less time on conspiracy theory websites.

So calling a ttransgendered individual “he” instead of “ze” gets your firearms rights nullified. We’ll be South Africa soon if we let this get in.

But, but, but..............I just heard last night one the HAGs in atlanta (wearing her red mom shirt) say all this has NOTHING to do with disarming law abiding citizens negating the 2nd amendment or gun confiscation or registration...... Blah, blah, blah.

It’s still full of lefties, feminists, and faggots, and the policies and manuals haven’t changed. Trump has and will continue to improve things, but the rot now goes deep. McCain bears a lot of responsibility for this.

“Better get ready for soldiers in your home.”

I contend that’s what all the “warrantless wiretapping” laws are all about: 3rd Amendment violation by proxy.

They won’t _actually_ put government agents in your home to gather evidence against you or intimidate you into not saying/doing suspicious things, they’ll just electronically monitor everything they can (in ways inconceivable to the Founding Fathers) for trigger phrases & actions, and scare you into not saying/writing things that _might_ be picked up via the half-dozen open mics in your home.

Yeah, right. You’d be better off to say they were lost due to sea level rise. That’d put you in good standing with the “believers”. ;-)

Dear DemocRats, the 2nd Amendment is part of the Constitution of the US for a reason and the reason why has become more obvious with each passing day.

—hopefully, a sensible SCOTUS would put an end to “hate crime” legislation —period—

—A “crime”is a crime ,no matter if it is done In “hate” or “love”-—

Like threatening violence against exercising First Amendment rights?

Who defines hate crimes? I think snowflakes are walking hate crimes.

Above all else, actual physical hate crimes trump imaginary ones without question.

Do we really need Supreme Court decision to confirm that?

He’ll need to fire a large part of the JAG corp, many senior officers, etc. Women and faggots are protected species. Assuming he has the guts to root them out, it will take time. In addition, he can’t change the policies that Congress has forced regarding women and faggots. I am not saying he won’t improve things, but the military has changed, and changing it was an Obamalini priority.

Lighten up Francis!! The soldiers are not on their side.

Think so?
How many “police” are fighting the dictatorship and tyranny of the state BY the leftists AGAINST freedom and democracy by the conservatives? There are two-three sheriffs nationwide defending freedom, but no masses in the rank and file in blue suites wearing their armor-plate, black helmets and black face masks.

{In a 10-4 ruling, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., said the guns banned under Maryland’s law aren’t protected by the Second Amendment.}

Court was in Virginia

Maybe it is an invading army to be housed in our homes.

Invading ‘refugees’.

Mooslimes consider themselves Jihadi soldiers.

Trusting a so-called “progressive” with power is like trusting a communist or Islamist with power.
