Daryl Fisher, who is running for sheriff in Democrat-heavy Buncombe County, N.C., made the comment after talking about the types of gun restrictions he favors during a meeting with the Michael Bloomberg-funded anti-gun group Moms Demand Action on March 7.
Fisher told the group that he wants to see the age requirement for people to purchase firearms raised to 21 and said that gun owners should be subjected to mandated proficiency testing every year. He also advocated that concealed carry permit holders only be allowed to carry the firearm they trained with.
The candidate also talked about weapons he wants to see banned. "I think we should ban the sale of all high-capacity magazines, including handguns and long guns," he told the group. "Any weapon that is designed for use by the military, I think we should ban," he said to much applause.
What about people that already had weapons?" Fisher continued. "Well, Im gonna tell you now, dont buy into the scare tactics, dont believe the scare tactics, because youve heard people say Youll have to pry my guns from my cold, dead hands," he said, adding with a grin and a shrug, "OK!" to the delight of the gun-grabbing crowd.
Fisher went on to lament that it was actually unconstitutional to take firearms away that were legally purchased. "We just can't do it," he admitted.

You win the internets today.
My latest favorite argument when some gun grabber bugs me enough so I respond:
Q: So Trump is Hitler.
Inevitable A: Yes!
Q: And you want to ban private ownership of guns?
A: Yes!
Q: So you want only Hitler to have all the guns?
A: Befulded look.
Works every time!
He just shot himself and his campaign in the foot
The liberal and stupid combo is the worst by far. I was just trying to make it fit the Animal House fat, drunk and stupid thing.
He will probably win the election.
Ashville area is infected with northeast liberals.
It ain’t Andy Griffith’s NC anymore.
But that almighty government that sticks it to the neighbor you don't like can then come around and give you the same treatment. The Founding Fathers knew this; modern libs don't.
He won’t be able to run. He has broken several Federal laws and has been turned into the proper authorities.
Increasingly prolific spectacular killings like these school shootings and Moslem shooting practice are symptoms of societal breakdown.That must end (for a time) in a totalitarian State or in conquest from outside as society fractures into warring groups and banditry. Taking all the guns from those who obey laws successfully would only get the law abiding types killed off or enslaved while giving power to those who steal guns and normally use them to commit crime.
Totally leftist area of the state. And sheriff, if you decide to take from cold dead hands because you want to confiscate you can, once or twice, but what happens when gun owners are on notice, the SS is action. What happens if they slaughter your storm troopers in an ambush? You will have sympathy from your leftist comrades, but the more family members you kill in your confiscations the more the resistance will grow until you and your goons would become the hunted. When you start killing family members eventually human nature takes over and it will get personal. I pray it never comes to this. And this clod hasn’t a clue about his oath or his word, another Sheriff Israel wannabe.
Agreed. Just want to add these snowflakes certainly dont.
This sheriff guy is literally calling that bluff...
"dont believe the scare tactics", he says.
Unless we ourselves are really willing to be that someone who is willing to die or go to prison fighting for the Second Amendment, then there's no guarantee that anyone will.
Agreed, but it worries me that people running for public office are stupid enough to believe such things and think it’s okay to say them. If the Left is that disconnected from normal Americans, a second civil war may be unavoidable.
This candidate for sheriff is calling that bluff. Unless he wins, there is no reason for us to find out how serious normal Americans are about protecting freedom. If he wins, and if he violates our God-given rights, I have no doubt on the swift and certain outcome of that unconstitutional abuse of power.
Well at least my KSG is legal. It’s a pump action but it holds 12 rounds.
He’d be first.
The opposition should continue hammering him for this—until the cows come home...
evidence of being turned in?
I would dearly love to see this creep hobbling in shackles to a federal prison.
We Have.
Andy Griffith would have supported this guy since he shilled for the wun as well.
Andy Taylor, probably not.
Well Daryl, you come on over and get them. I won’t be there though. I’ll be in your backyard with a gas can finishing up with your loved ones.
