Wednesday on CNN’s “Newsroom,” 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said mandatory buybacks of assault rifles with the threat of criminal prosecution was a “strong” idea.
Poppy Harlow said, “So on the assault weapons issue, you have talked openly about being in favor of an assault weapons ban. I’m interested if you are supportive of a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons. It was brought up first by Eric Swalwell, who was running for president in your party. Cory Booker has talked about that. Some are gone as far as to say not only should it be a mandatory buyback of assault rifles, but there should be criminal prosecution for those who don’t sell them back. Is that something you support?
Gillibrand said, “I think we should ban assault weapons as well as large magazines. As part of passing that ban, do a buyback program across the country so that those who own them can be compensated for the money they spent. But I think both of those ideas are strong.”
....
Gillibrand said, “So the point is you don’t want people using assault weapons. So the point is, if you are arrested for using an assault weapon, you’re going to have an aggravated felony. The whole point is when you make it a crime to own an assault weapon, then if you are found using it, that would be the issue. So it would just be part of your law enforcement in terms of what you have access to.”

The smile of a psycho and a mind to match!
Molon Labe, bitch.
Talk to the street thugs gangbangers and drug dealers first then get back to us a##wipe
MOLON LABE! = “Come and take them!”
well done.
How very Bolshevik of her.
I’m afraid you may be right.
“it’s gonna be ugly.”
Yes, it is.
CLACK!
Partly so. A lot of the Bureau Field Office SACs and SSA's [management] are pretty much as you describe. On the other hand, a n awful lot of the *brick agents* actually on the street and not busy filling out CYA memos to the 7th floor of the FBI building are a lot closer to us than you'd think. And there are an awful lot who have no faith at all in their fellow agents and local law enforcement protecting them than their own families.
I know two former military 10-year FBI field agents who keep an eye out for new *first desk* rookie agents just out of the FBI Academy with the right attitudes. They figure on taking care of themselves.
Can I get those on Amazon?
If an Amazon drone shows up with one of those underneath it, it's a Special Delivery shipment. Avoid.
LOL! Good to see ya archy.
How do these monsters rise so high in American politics.
A rational nation would see her elected to spittoon cleaner and dog crap monitor in Hell’s Kitchen and no more!
“These Folks”
Really Are
That Stupid.
And Philly.
Also KEEPING convicted gangbangers and drug dealers locked up at least for their entire Sentence.
