For the American Left, gun control has always been nothing more than a statist impulse in search of a reason to justify it.

And there have always been reasons they’ve offered as to why the government should prohibit Americans from owning this type of gun or that one. Today, the talk tends to be about the AR-15, and the reason that is most commonly parroted tends to be along these lines, this one offered in a tweet by Max Boot:

There is no reason why any civilian should own an assault weapon. And gun prohibition and buyback much more effective than a ban on further sale.

Boot tweeted this in support of the “courageous and principled stand” taken by Democrat House Representative Eric Swalwell of California, who is championing the idea of an Australia-style “buyback” of “assault weapons” such as the AR-15.

There is only one logical reason to disarm the citizens. They want to do things that well-armed citizens would never allow.

“buyback”

Sorry, my Arms are NOT for sale.

Tell me Congressman, how much would you sell YOUR freedom for?

Perhaps you CAN take them but they will be
empty and smoking...!

We cannot and will not say, “How we burned later in the camps...”.
