U.S. Politicians Cheer New Zealand Gun Confiscation

American gun owners have once again been reminded that the ultimate goal of U.S. gun control advocates is firearms bans and confiscation. Since the heinous terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, American anti-gun politicians, activists, and media outlets have offered their full-throated support for the New Zealand government’s efforts to ban and confiscate firearms from law-abiding gun owners.

~~~~~SNIP~~~~~~

Failed 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton tweeted her support for Ardern’s confiscations measures, stating, “Under @jacindaardern's leadership, New Zealand has banned assault rifles and military-style semi-automatic weapons just six days after the Christchurch mosque attacks. Public servants didn't stop at offering thoughts and prayers. They chose to act.” In 2015 Clinton expressed her support for Australia-style gun confiscation.

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) stated via Twitter, “This is what real action to stop gun violence looks like. We must follow New Zealand's lead, take on the NRA and ban the sale and distribution of assault weapons in the United States.”

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) tweeted out a video of Ardern’s confiscation announcement, adding, “See. It’s not that hard.”

Not that hard, eh?

Chuckle... He doesn’t know the meaning of “hard”.

Mar 7, 2019 · Sen. Lindsey Graham, the chairman of the powerful Judiciary committee and a close ally of the President’s — told CNN on Wednesday that his committee will hold a hearing on gun control legislation later this month, a rare move in a Republican-controlled chamber.

If you think it is just Dem’s who are interested in firearms restriction, you are wrong.

On Feb 28th, 2019, President Trump stated “guns first, due process later.”

Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Mitt Romney are all on board with “red flag” laws, and as Governor of Massachusetts, Mitt Romney signed an assault weapons ban in 2004.
