Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.) on Friday suggested a future Democratic president could confiscate citizens' guns based on the precedent of President Donald Trump's national emergency announcement regarding the border wall.
Nadler, the new chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, appeared on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time" to discuss Trump's announcement earlier in the morning. Trump declared it "necessary" to build the wall on the southern border.
Host Chris Cuomo asked Nadler if enough Republicans would come out against Trump, prompting him to say, "I think so" and that he believes Republicans are terrified of unintended consequences. He speculated about other hypothetical national emergencies if a Democrat were to win in 2020.
"If the president can declare an emergency today on this nonsense, on this, the Democratic president can decide that, as you mentioned, the 40,000 people a year killed in this country is a crisis. And why don't we take everybody's guns away? Or force everybody to register their guns, or ban all assault rifles, or do all of that without congressional approval?" Nadler said. "This opens up tyranny or dictatorship."
"Now it may be something that the Republicans don't particularly oppose, but tomorrow, with a Democratic president, it could be something they hate," Nadler continued.
Nadler isn't the only Democrat bringing up national emergency hypotheticals that a Democratic president could push in the future.
"Our next President should declare a #NationalEmergency on day 1 to address the existential threat to all life on the planet posed by Climate Change," tweeted freshman Rep. Ilhan Omar (Minn.).

Yep! Both of these issues (guns & border) are clearly a Constitutionally-supported issue... Therefore Nibler’s analogy is meaningless...
Game on.
“You’d better bring a battalion to my hose Fat Boy! “
And I wouldn’t get closer than 400 yards either. Say, could they bring Lon Horiuchi out of retirement? I’d like to meet him.
The designated confiscator’s life insurance costs would be astronomical...
On the off chance you haven’t already been pinged.
Both overstepped their authority and removed constitutionally guaranteed rights with the stroke of a pen. If the only litmus is the severity of the concern at the time, no rights are protected.
They could do it whether Trump does this or not so this line of argument proves nothing.
They grab guns and there in for some big problems.
Especially that Muslim, because they have been disarming Jews, Christians and Hindus for centuries as a prelude to total domination.
That is a very spirited response. But the concept is wrong.
The Fat Boy should be more concerned with visitors who will show up unannounced at his house.

You tell me since they have many willing voters and they win elections.
Dear America,
Just in case you were curious - a president who is following the constitutional edict that he secure the borders is nonsense, whereas open Democrat plans to declare a national emergency and seize your guns in direct violation of the constitution isn’t.
Seriously, you can’t live with the consequences of voting Democrat - just ask the ‘pre-born.’
Go for it, Jabba! You can have mine - bullets first...
Except for the Second Amendment.
But they have to know you have it to seize it.
The left doesn’t want to go there but thanks for revealing. They would be annihilated. Iraqi or Syrian insurgency is amateur compared to what the left would face from the III%ers alone right here in America.
The Nazi Nadler should first consider the number of soyboys he has VS 100 million armed Americans. I don’t think that the fat commie soy boy has thought through his plan very well.
For example, does the pig Nadler know how many lampposts he can hang from?
No kidding. That is all talk imo. Even blabbering Democrats know confiscation is a sure path to political ruin.
“He will send the FBI..”
The FBI gestapo murders women, children and babies; they’re cowards. When confronted by men with rifles, they run away.
FReepers and
Threepers,,,
Yes,
A nice ring to it.
Any ahole who tries to confiscate guns would be shot to death.
Who is going to want that job?
Go for it, you leftist used asswipe ... Make my effing day!
