Kamala Harris supports mandatory gun buyback program

  “Nobody wants to take your guns away from you, we only want common sense gun laws. The NRA is simply trying to scare you by spreading this lie.” 

  This is what the gun control advocates tell us all the time whenever the issue comes up but this is in fact the lie. We all know that Democrats want to incrementally do away with the Second Amendment, they have always talked their way around the point because they were afraid to come right out and say it.

  But the 2020 campaign has seen Democrats trying to out-left each other and they are no longer afraid to admit who they are or what they believe. (It would probably be more accurate to say  the catalyst for swerving so far to the left in such a short period of time was the election on Donald Trump more so than the upcoming election.) Where once the terms socialist or socialism were considered taboo the Democrats have openly embraced them and the same is happening with gun control.

 Robert O’Rourke became the first candidate to admit he supported the mandatory confiscation of some weapons and not to be outdone Kamala Harris became the second and I am sure more are to follow. Here is more:

Kamala Harris said Friday she supports a mandatory buyback of military-style assault weapons, taking a more aggressive position than her main rivals for the Democratic presidential nomination.

“I think it’s a good idea,” she told reporters after a campaign event in Londonderry, New Hampshire.

“We have to work out the details — there are a lot of details — but I do” support a forced buyback, Harris said when asked about the policy. “We have to take those guns off the streets.”

  I take issue with a few things in the block quote above: First; in order to have rivals you have to be a serious contender, second; these are not “military style” weapons and there is no such thing as an “assault weapon” and third; the government cannot “buy back” something it did not sell in the first place. But let that go…

  The bottom line here is that the Democrats are finally starting to come out of their shells and admit something they had always denied but that we had always known and that is that they are going to come after guns and we all know it will not stop with the so-called assault weapons.
