Mika: Why Not a Gun Ban Like in Australia?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/05/2015 6:48:29 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

They really are coming for your guns . . . After the Charleston church shootings, President Obama praised Australia's draconian gun laws, which included a mandatory buy-back program, AKA confiscation.

On today's Morning Joe, Mika wondered "why" we couldn't institute a similar gun ban in the United States, throwing in support for a database of all gun ownership for good measure. Joe Scarborough was actually obliged to explain to Mika that her gun ban was never going to happen because we have the Second Amendment here. That left Mika grimacing in regret [see the screengrab].

All it would take to make criminals of all of us is for these five of nine politically appointed lawyers on the Supreme Court to decide that we don't have the right to keep and bear arms under the Second Amendment:

Sotomayor, Kagan, Breyer, Kennedy, and Ginsberg.

Note to all gun-loving FReepers:

Prices for AR style Modern Sporting Rifles have hit rock bottom, with very decent examples going for under $600. If you’ve always wanted an AR and you live in a free state, now is time to buy.

Hurry, limited time only!

Well, then they are really going to see mass shootings and gun violence on a level not seen since CW1.

When Australia did this, they caught the pro-gun supporters off guard. Nonetheless, there was some resistance. In the US we have a tradition of gun ownership, the example of Lexington & Concord, and the 2nd amendment. This issue has been a major public issue for years and gun owners have had plenty of time to stock up and get ready. Everyone knows that gun confiscations would mean civil war.

That’s a very old viral bit right there. While the crime rate did see an increase at first, rates in Australia are really down a lot since then. Just sayin’

Good to know...I’ve observed that many viral e-mails are not completely honest. Thanks.

It will be rubber stamped by the courts. After that it will be linked to government welfare payments but especially the grand daddy of all government welfare Social Security, the. Medicare/Medicaid, then SS disability, the all levels of government pensions. They will leave gibsmedat cards alone since that class needs to keep their guns to terrorize the rest of us into submission.

Might throw In various forms of government licensing for occupations, driving, travel, business permits, and etc..

Even the most hardline conservative will blanche at giving up Social Security because it was earned and promised /s.

LOL, exactly. Only a simpleton believes they arent. The only reason they arent openly confiscating is b/c they know it would be open war between some of the populace and govt. At the moment theyve neither the man power or materiel to prosecute that action. No, theyll continue to lie about intentions while taking small bites until reaching the goal of complete civilian disarmament of unfavored classes. Liberals have no problem with guns. Their problem is that you can have them too.
