Barack Obama promised he wouldn't take away anyone's guns, but gun-rights alarmists have spent seven years incessantly predicting he would. From his experience, Hillary Rodham Clinton seems to have decided to skip the part of the campaign that involves placating the National Rifle Association.
Recently, at a town hall meeting in New Hampshire, she was asked about adopting a federal gun control program like the one enacted in Australia in 1996, which banned automatic and semi-automatic rifles and shotguns and mandated the buyback of those already present. Some 650,000 guns were taken from citizens and destroyed.
Clinton replied, "I do not know enough details to tell you how we would do it, or how it would work, but certainly the Australian example is worth looking at." The reason, she said, is that "by offering to buy back those guns, they were able to curtail the supply and to set a different standard for gun purchases in the future."
At this, the NRA activated the air raid sirens. Obama and Clinton, it declared, have "made clear what they're really after — national gun confiscation."

Ah - so you’re an ‘alarmist’ if you point out overt and covert attempts to infringe on Constitutional rights?
And you’re a ‘social justice warrior’ if you demand rights be invented out of whole cloth based on nothing more than what you do with your tadger?
Interesting lexicon the leftists use.
:: Some 650,000 guns were taken from citizens and ^destroyed^ ::
Ummmmmm, yeah...right.
They were [scarequotes]destroyed[/scarequotes]
The rules of supply and demand say that if government starts buying it will increase demand which in turn will increase supply.
Crime rate soared and the infringed on self defense also. HiLIEry is wanting to prepare for the takeover by the barbarians that Obama invited in.

Surly the rino Congress would never allow the liberal left communist/Islamic democrat politicians to destroy our Constitutional liberties and freedoms given by God only to mankind as our founding fathers, a unique and set apart Christian people who wanted us to have freedom, enumerated in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Do they not recognize that they are lawless and evil as any communist run government in the earth? Yes, they do know and yes they will do evil against American citizens.
What this really meant is that many Americans sold their crappy guns to the government so they could go out and buy better guns...: )
Americans will always fight for their freedom, the ignorant will always support the despot... Despots have a way of educating the ignorant
When she gives up her security team then we will sit and talk.
0 has not said a truthful word in his presidency, probably his entire life. The lord of the flies can’t tell the truth. Who cares what he promises. I think herself is pretty much the same. NEVER to be trusted.
I believe that your assessment of the situation is absolutely correct...
There is no honor, there is no Justus, there is only government....
I’d donate for a buyback for Hillary Clinton.
But where would she be recycled?
‘Government’ has become the mafia with an Air Force and Navy.
The object of gun turn ins (buy backs) is not take guns off the street but to promote the meme that guns should be turned it.
Likewise, gun control is not about crime, but about power.
With the exception of an Air Force, isn't that pretty much the same situation we had 250 years ago?

My ancestors had the Bill of Rights and the Constitution meant something to most of them.

They sound like dangerous men. I'd like to have known them.
Exactly.
