The so-called fact checkers at the far-left Washington Post are liars. Straight-up liars. Because here is what Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama actually said in favor of gun confiscation:
Barack Obama, June 2014:
Couple of decades ago, Australia had a mass shooting, similar to Columbine or Newtown. And Australia just said, well, that’s it, we’re not doing, we’re not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they haven’t had a mass shooting since. Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. There’s no advanced, developed country that would put up with this.
Barack Obama, June 2015:
When Australia had a mass killing – I think it was in Tasmania – about 25 years ago, it was just so shocking the entire country said ‘well we’re going to completely change our gun laws’, and they did. And it hasn’t happened since.
Barack Obama, October 2015:

As much as people complain about America, it is the best country in the World hands down. The problem right now is that we are at a cross roads and we have two directions to take. I think most Americans want to take the correct road but you have this small loud segment that wants us to go the wrong direction. If we keep them in check, we could be fine.
NY and California are always going to be socialist. As a state rights defender, I don’t care what NY or CA do as long as they keep their crap out of Florida and the other 47 states.
I doubt there will be a civil war over the issue. California for instance has been defacto removing guns from the playing field for sometime, NY longer. Gun owners are a docile law abiding group distinct from the left who only know vile ways to move the issues.
Laws get passed, registration is mandated and of course then comes the outright confiscation. No one is going to show up at your door to take you firearm, they will just wait till one gets “discovered” in your presence and just like with the perjury set ups being orchestrated now by the special counsel, one by one everyone over time will be under the yoke. Only way to make sure it does not happen is to ensure that when you pull the lever, ensure the person is not a lib or RINO. There is another way, but that is not going to happen and I will leave what that is to interpretation.
The Supreme Court can't change it.
Legally.
Let me ask you, Nolte: Are YOU really naive enough to believe that the states will just happily go along with such a bill? NOT BLOODY LIKELY.
“SWAT team willing to carry out the requests. “
There’s more than one Broward County out there who would love to do it.
Be realistic Civil War is the most likely possibility.
Lets ship MS-13, ghettoans, drug dealers, organized crime and gangs to Aussie
And then let’s see how well things have worked out for them
And to offset “mass shootings” how many “home is castle” defenses happen ever year? How many murders and home invasions could have been stopped if the victims etc had been armed?
Oh, and do Aussie politicians and celebs have private armed security?
“There will be a lot of dead confiscators...................”
Ray bans and tactical mustaches won’t stop a 22 hornet.

If you go through this list of massacres and look after Port Arthur, you will find incidents of gun massacres, not to mention using other utensils.

My point is that everyone has his own narrative and facts ate freeely invented.
In truth any attempt as confiscation would by default shred the Constitution and would literally require the government to declare war on its own citizens... once and for all putting the lie to “will of the governed”.
Ask a liberal, how much government “gun violence” (SWAT teams with “assault” weapons perhaps?) and possible blood and carnage is permissible to achieve the goal of protecting us from “gun violence”? #RustyBloodIrony
“Remember: 19 April, 1775. Molon Labe.”
Yup.
Not sure about that. Connecticut demanded registration of AR-15s a couple of years ago, and got less than 10% compliance.
Soft strategies won’t provoke as much resistance (i.e. NY and CA examples) as hard confiscation would, but they also are slow and tedious - and the Left in this country is not exactly noted for its patience or long-term thinking. Soft strategies are just a short-lived gateway to hard strategies once the Left feels like it has the capacity to use them. The Left knows that while they can ban 10+ mags and semi-autos, there are probably a lot of guys out there who still have them, and who are getting more from Nevada and Pennsylvania. And since these guys are generally law-abiding, they’re less likely to come into contact with law enforcement and “get caught” to begin with.
The problem with “soft” strategies (like wait and catch) is that they only work for so long. Once it happens a few times and gets out, people are on guard and a not statistically insignificant percentage of them WILL be willing to violently resist, which means the attrition rate for the cops starts. This is especially the case when the armed segment of the population is generally also the one that views such measures as illegitimate to begin with. You’re less likely to comply with something you don’t see as legitimate.
The half of the country that is not armed and would generally support such measures doesn’t count for anything because, well, they’re not armed. They can screech about mean, nasty, violent gun owners, but beyond that, nothing.
Once a few resists take place, that’s when the stepped-up efforts at outright confiscation would begin, but there aren’t enough cops (at all levels) or even Army to get more than a tiny fraction before news of *that* gets out, and provokes even more civil disobedience.
That’s when you have your civil war.
The Left knows this, which is why they engineer school shootings and then non-stop beat the drum as propaganda about dead children and the like. They know they won’t be able to catch everyone with an “illegal” gun, and they know they can’t outright take them by force. It’s too far past the point where that’s feasible. They know they’re not taking 300+ million guns from 120 million gun owners, especially once confiscation efforts got out of the bag and into various media outlets. their best and only hope is to blackpill you and convince you to give them up voluntarily because of feelz and dead chilluns and the like.
We are not alone in that.
Sheer nonsense!
The Feds have a database on who legally owns firearms. So do Google and Facebook.
The Feds can get your firearms in ways other than outright confiscation. Denying Government benefits, licenses, permits, etc., and using the IRS’ unconstitutional confiscatory powers are just some of the ways a tyrannical Deep State can get lawful gun owners to surrender their firearms.
Correct.
Disarm the Deep State’s false flaggers and you will have no more mass shootings.
#DISARMFALSEFLAGGERS
Civil war will start when they start this confiscation nonsense. I feel this is inevitable if we are to save our nation from these Godless ,Homo ,Muslim loving ,worthless pos. God help us .
Coward County showed us how they deal with armed people, they HIDE!
