Nadler (D) Suggests a Dem President Can Seize Guns After Trumps National Emergency Precedent...Trump's national emergency is in furtherance of his charge to protect national security by reinforcing our borders to keep out illegal entrants - Nadler's theoretical would be in direct opposition to the Second Amendment.....

There is already precedent for presidents abusing executive power, just ask Lincoln or FDR. They make it sound like this is the first time, and quite frankly, I have no doubt a Democrat president would move against guns if he thought he had the political backing.

Could try that, but would be in office less time than William Henry Harrison.

We’re pushing 400 million weapons in this country.
That’s counting the legal ones.
Someone I know told me that between 1000 and 2000 guns come into this country illegally every single day. That may be a high figure, but I doubt it is no small number.
Nadler, good luck with that.

In the case of Lincoln, we had actual states surrounding Washington DC with plenty of Confederate sympathy, so Lincoln forced bordering states not to secede and protect the capital. FDR? We were at War with Japan at the time. My grandfather was forbidden to speak German at all during that time. It was ordered to prevent them from thinking he was helping the enemy. He even Anglicized his name after war as well.

Building a wall to protect our borders, constitutional. Seizing firearms, unconstitutional. Any questions Waddler?
To: SkyPilot
"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."
Ask Thomas Gage how well that worked, Jerry.

And plenty of them likely go into the hands of criminals such as gangs who will gladly kill innocent civilians and police officers.

When the democrats declare a Naty Emergency to ban firearms, they will probably suspend all elections, revoke the most troublesome amendments to the constitution, declare martial law, ban assembly of more than 3 persons etc.
We'll see how far they get with that scheme.

If that’s the case Nads, how come Clinton or Obama never did it?

If thats the case, then perhaps the president should go ahead and revoke Nadlers right to free speech.

So Republicans are supposed to be afraid of what Democrats might do in the future? What kind of stupid blackmail is that?

I specifically remember listening to Holder speak once. His words chilled me to the bone, as he quoted Mao. “We get it. Political power comes out of the end of a gun.” He was the US AG at the time.
And so he instituted policies to make kids get suspended for pop tarts in the shape of guns. He also said that “when they go low, we kick them......we have to brainwash people against guns.”
