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, thats it, were not doing, were not seeing that again, and basically imposed very severe, tough gun laws, and they havent had a mass shooting since. Our levels of gun violence are off the charts. Theres 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 were going to completely change our gun laws, and they did. And it hasnt happened since.
Barack Obama, October 2015:

We know that other countries, in response to one mass shooting, have been able to craft laws that almost eliminate mass shootings. Friends of ours, allies of ours Great Britain, Australia, countries like ours. So we know there are ways to prevent it.
Hillary Clinton, October 2015:
You know, Australias a good example, Canadas a good example, [and] the UKs a good example. Why? Because each of them had mass killings, Australia had a huge mass killing about 20 or 25 years ago. Canada did as well, so did the UK. In reaction, they passed much stricter gun laws. In the Australian example, as I recall, that was a buyback program. The Australian government as part of trying to clamp down on the availability of
weapons offered a good price for buying hundreds of thousands of guns and basically clamped down going forward, in terms of having more of a background check approach more of a permitting approach.
What you have above are four crystal clear examples of a former president and an almost-president, both of them leaders of the Democrat Party, openly speaking out in favor of gun confiscation which is precisely what both are talking about when they extol the wondrous virtues of what Australia did.
What happened in Australia was that the government sponsored a gun buyback in which Australians were forced to hand their guns in. That is confiscation, full stop.
Nevertheless, despite four crystal clear examples, the Washington Post fact checkers have said that it is a lie to accuse either Hillary or Obama of wanting to confiscate guns.
So how close are we to having the federal government confiscate our guns? So close that the leaders of the Democrat Party are calling for it, while their media gaslights us into believing they did not.
Oh, yes, something is afoot. And that is the least of it. Lets start at the beginning
In the 1980s Democrats assured Ronald Reagan that if he signed a mass amnesty for illegal immigrants, they would increase border security. They lied, and now anywhere from 10 to 30 million illegals have invaded our country and Democrats want to make them voting citizens.
In the early 1990s, Democrats assured President George H.W. Bush that if he broke his famous read my lips, no new taxes pledge, they would cut spending. They lied, and Bush lost his re-election bid to Bill Clinton, who passed a ban on assault weapons.
In 2009, and on dozens of occasions, Obama promised us that if we backed his scheme for a government takeover of our health care, costs would plummet and no one would lose their doctors or insurance. He lied. Millions lost their insurance and doctors and costs have exploded.
Over the last fifteen years, the left assured us that if we backed same-sex marriage it would in no way personally affect us. They lied. Christian cake and floral artists are now being persecuted by the state, and the Church itself is next.
Gay marriage is the perfect analogy to what we are seeing now, which is the left with a ton of help from the corporate media using the Parkland, Florida, school shooting massacre as a means to stigmatize the NRA and gun owners; to turn us into social pariahs, to make it socially unacceptable to be us or to associate with us.
If you recall, though, this push to scarlet letter marriage traditionalists did not work. In fact, had the issue stayed within the democratic process, same-sex marriage would not be legal today. Despite the propaganda push, despite the phony polls to make it look as though those opposed were in the minority, in state referendums all around the union (with three exceptions), voters rejected the legalization of gay marriage. This includes California.
It is important that you never forget that same sex marriage did not and could not win through democracy, that you never forget that same sex marriage was forced upon us by a 5-4 vote by a single vote on the Supreme Court.
And this is how our guns will be confiscated through a demonization campaign and a single vote Supreme Court vote.
The scenario by which we are disarmed by our government, is this close to reality
.
1.Democrat president elected.
2.Democrat president replaces a Clarence Thomas with a Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
3.Democrat president enjoys Democrat majorities in the House and Senate.
4.The Democrat Senate either enjoys a filibuster proof majority (this happened in 2008) or finishes what former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) began the annihilation of the filibuster. While there are some current Democrat Senators who would oppose confiscation, over time they can be weeded out in primaries, bullied into siding with the Party (as we saw with Obamacare), or simply overwhelmed by their pro-confiscation co-partisans in the aftermath of a Democrat wave election.
5.Both Houses of congress pass a gun confiscation bill.
6.By a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court declares gun confiscation perfectly constitutional.
To those of you naïve enough to believe that the Bill of Rights, that the Second Amendment will save you from outright gun confiscation, I give you the District of Columbia v. Heller, where the individual right to own a handgun was barely recognized in the Supreme Court by a 5-4 decision, by a single vote.
If the District of Columbia refused its citizens any other right on the Bill of Rights, we would have seen a 9-0 or 7-2 decision. But a Second Amendment right just barely squeaked by.
This is how close we are to having our firearms confiscated.
Do not listen to the assurances from Democrats and their media. Ignore the lying fact-checkers and those scoffing at the very idea of gun confiscation and those in the ruling class ridiculing those of us trying to sound the alarm
Just remember My gay marriage will not affect you.
Remember You can keep your insurance.
Remember that 73 percent of Democrats want to ban semi-automatic firearms (which means most handguns), and 44 percent are in favor of banning all guns.
Remember 5-4.

Pro-tip: It’s easy to gin up mass shootings when you use psychotropic drugs to make already-mentally imbalanced people susceptible to further psychopathy, and orient them toward this using “therapy.”

The Left uses the slippery slope to install their agenda. That’s why they must be fought inch by inch. Before Clinton, known homosexuals were discharged from the Military. The came “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” and we were told it would never lead to open homosexuals in uniform. Fast forward to Obama and now not only are open homosexuals allowed in uniform, they allow displays of same sex pda without punishment, and transgenders are going to be able to serve as well. The same way we were told that “civil unions” and “domestic partnerships” would never lead to gay marriage. Don’t even give an inch.

Australia and Canada both don’t have a second amendment. So unless the Supreme Court changes that, it won’t happen. Most likely we will not have this happen if ever for 40 years (if we get another justice or two on the court that is conservative).

Let us see how the government plans on stopping illegal guns from flooding across the borders once they disarm us. Just as successful at stopping illegal drugs and aliens?
To: Cheerio
We might be close to gov’t doing something stupid.....BUT....
We are NOWHERE near the clowns having the courage or the means to implement “confiscation”.

Umm, no.
A civil war will likely break out before such confiscation BS takes place.

The Democrat-Communists must disarm Americans in order to achieve their global communist agenda! The shooting was a false flag. There will be others until the Deep State is put down.

The left (socialists) like many criminals, never stop unless they are incarcerated or eliminated.
Witness history. Witness current events.

The ABC countries not only do not have a Second Amendment, they have no right of self defense.
If you shoot an intruder with your registered gun, you will be arrested and charged with actual or attempted manslaughter. Automatic. If the police later determine that you had no other choice than to shoot to defend life & limb, the charges may be dropped & you will not be charged again.
Protection from double jeopardy, they say; guilty until proven innocent we say.
And if the home invader you shoot is a Muslim, you can still be charged with a hate crime.
No plans here to visit any of those nations.

USSC might rule after the fact. That wont stop NY and CA from starting. Starting? They're already well into it. You cannot buy a semi-auto rifle in New York or California if it has a pistol grip and a detachable magazine. You cannot buy a semi-auto pistol in California if it isn't on their ever-shrinking "approved" list. You can't buy magazines that hold over 10 rounds, and you can't load more than 7 rounds in your New York magazine.

Not if they do it piecemeal. Even the well armed citizen will be easily subdued by even the most basic SWAT team willing to carry out the requests.
