2020 Democrats Step Into The Void Created By Republicans On Gun Control | Deadline | MSNBC
Gun confiscation on all semi-autos?
@Ryan Hansen A buy back program is NOT confiscation. It is voluntary surrender for compensation. Australia instituted such a buy back program after one mass shooting and has had no others. It was a success for their people. If you do not wish to participate, you can continue to hide out in mortal fear of other people as long a you like. LMAO
RhondaH why is that funny? And how is that not confiscation?
Sure…but only FULL semi-autos!
Ryan Hansen
“wretched screeching at your logic!”
The local police chief sold the guns people turned in for destruction. In high school our Constitutional Law class went to court to watch a trial day. The case was SWAT cops and PA National Guardsmen were stealing police and military weapons and selling them to the public. Criminals will get guns. I knew a Russian who was arrested for smuggling military rifles. A German I knew made his own.
America has lost its moral center. When I was a boy and even a teen and early adult we didn’t have mass murderers blasting away at the populace. The only one I can recall was Charles Whitman shooting and murdering from the tower at Texas University. Gun control wouldn’t be necessary in a more moral population as we once were. Nowadays we need it, especially with a “leader” such as Trump.
So you want to hand over our guns (and power) to Trump??
James Dunn if trump is so evil, why should we hand him our firearms?
DEMS: we’ve been trying to pass gun control for decades.
GOP: We take rubles thru NRA directly from the Kremlin to continue Ruskie OP of letting white Evangelicals mass murder innocent Americans.
Chuck Todd: Both sides are the same (I don’t work for the Kochs and Ruskies on the side)
Hey why you so worried about russians. No borders no walls bro! Let them come and get free healthcare like everyone else. Right? Its kind of like being a racist to not like a certian group because they are not the same as you right? Are you racist?
people has lost there value on life. Am for back ground checks and the red tag bill. but we must remember that people picks up gun to use it. the gun can’t do anything until someone pick it up. Just like drunk drivers. That was destroying families because they chose to drive drunk. we didn’t ban cars. We made tougher laws. The same thing need to happen with gun control. all states should do back ground check,
But all states DO use background checks as mandated by the federal government. We already have so much fun control and it’s not helping curb crime or mass shooters one bit! And red flag bills are simply the elimination of due process. We NEED to start holding our government accountable for their failures and NOT the guns, gun owners and sellers or the industry.
There is no void …..
But go ahead and keep talking about confiscating guns because you are handing the election to Trump…
Democrat party is a void
Sadly Trump would probably support this. He’s is NOT 2A friendly.
Beto is out.
Clinton again.
Children should be in fear of going to school.
We need common sense abortion safety laws, like background checks, and education. The majority of the country supports this.
Once provoked we will go after the politicians. Your security forces will be easy pickings for true patirots. Beto is a worm. He will be dealt a slow death. As for the rest that have treaded on the 2nd. Pray for a fast one. You people are picking a fight, not a debate.
Somehow, I bet a buyback program that paid in Home Depot gift cards would reduce America’s gun count by 50%
A police chief in my area sold the guns people turned in for destruction.
I’ll take that bet.
Can’t buy back what you’ve never owned.
Trace Malinowski I would file paperwork to take them home
I love it when the rich politicians who can afford private security for their own families and themselves tell us we can’t own firearms to protect ourselves.
Will NEVER HAPPEN.
dems are delusional.
Gun confiscation will bring civil war. Maybe that’s the point.
Most gun lobbyists are cowards, which is why they have guns. There’s no civil war coming.
I’m sorry to say that you are very wrong on those assumptions. That isn’t said as a putdown to you…there will be massive violence if a gun confiscation program is attempted.
Back in Bill Clinton’s administration US Army Special Forces soldiers had a message for the President when there was talk of confiscation. They appeared on 60 Minutes. They would train the largest guerilla army in history, overthrow any administration that attempted it, and restore a Constitutional republic. My dad lost an eye for the Constitution and was discharged from the USMC in ’64.
princeoftidds lobbyists? Perhaps. But the hundred million other gun owners are not! Push your communist agenda and find out for yourself.
Do you anti-gunners know you have a 1 in 28,000 lifetime risk of being attacked by a shark while surfing, a 1 in 18,000 lifetime risk of being killed by an AR15 or other semi-auto rifle, a 1 in 68 lifetime risk of being murdered in Chicago, a 1 in 50 lifetime risk of being killed in a car accident, and a 1 in 37 lifetime risk if you also ride ATV’s and motorcycles? Should we ban vehicles? The U of Pitt Dept. of Epidemiology confirmed the stat that 80% of gun crime is gang or drug related with illegal weapons, 18% by gun owners. The CDC confirms more lives are saved by guns than lost.
Left: “Trump is a murderous dictator and the police are racist!”
Also left: “only the government and police should have guns!”
A bunch of nitwit hacks that want to lead the sheep to slaughter. People keep your powder dry , these kind of people are the reason we need to protect the second amendment.
The House of Representatives is 2 year terms of service, the Senate is 6. 2018 set new Mid-term records, the highest number in history, and the highest percentage in over 100 years. The Census bureau site, 54.3%. 9 Republicans and 24 Democrates were up for re-election, 2 seats flipped from Democrat to Republican, 2020 that flips. Donald Trump, Moscow Mitch + another 21 Republicans are up for re-election, only 12 Democrats. Nov 3rd 2020, the Citizens of the United States of America are going to hire a plumbing Contractor that specializes with blocked drains, to clean out the blocked up, “I WONT PUT ANYTHING TO VOTE” Senate and flush it.
Oh no an F-bomb! It’s not like people are dying or anything. 🙄😐
Dems propose legislation designed to do nothing more than legislate away the sensationalist crimes that make the MSM echo chamber. But their “solutions” wouldn’t even do that, emboldening criminals as the law-abiding public is made more defenseless.
Gun control leads to rise in violent crime: Canada has 3x violent crime rate as US, UK is 5x the US, Sweden is 2x the US, Australia is 2.5x the US, Brazil is 6x the US…
Disarmed citizens make easy marks for the criminals.
