And all the clunker guns would be turned in and the Libs will say “Hurrah! We’re now gun free!”

There are over 10 top-line stories on Yahoo regarding guns and gun control.

It is really being pushed right now...

They claim that it is impossible to find 11 million illegals...so how, exactly, are they going to find 400 million guns? Especially since guns can be buried and then dug up and be as good as new (that doesn’t work so well with Homo Sapiens Sapiens), or taken apart and hidden in many different places (again, that doesn’t work out so well with people), or hidden in very small spaces for years or decades at a time (try that kind of claustrophobic treatment with a person, let alone not feeding them or giving them bathroom breaks). Oh, and guns can easily be manufactured (in way less than 9 months) or stolen (and the guns don’t complain or try to escape).

Go ahead and try, Cankles. You’ll be lumped in with the worst traitors and totalitarians in history, and most of your minions won’t survive.

The Australian government as part of trying to clamp down on the availability of automatic weapons...

I don't know much about Australia's gun laws, but automatic weapons were THAT common?

gun buyback?

I have never liked that term. It perpetuates the notion (even if only sublimely) the Government owns and controls everything.

How can you buyback that which you have never owned?

Such a Law would be a violation of the 2nd and 4th amendments (and probably others).

Oh, I agree with you. Its that little thing about agreeing to be a slave - most people haven’t, don’t and wouldn’t...so then the slaughter would begin, of that I have no doubt.

“First they came for the gun owners, and I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t a gun owner.

Then they came for whoever the F#$% they wanted.”

This would only reward people who hoard guns and hung onto old, worn-out ones. After they get some extra money for turning in their worn-out, old guns, they can buy nice new ones and look forward to another bailout down the road.

A great idea that I'd love to push publicly...but I don't want any visits from the Secret Service.

They simply have NO CLUE what a big can of whoopass they are going to open...and they're happy and enthusiastic about it. Truly, they are stupid beyond belief. They emote, they don't think or reason.

Today, most people would and would willingly.

Remember - We are a country in which 70,000,000 people walked into a private voting booth to try electing a man that profits from incinerating aborted children, is a gun grabber, fathered Homo Marraige in America and about a thousand other acts of evil...

...because they were scared his twin with a D after his name bight get a second term. There is very little but cowardace left in America today in the general public. Sure there are a few actual Americans still here. Mostly active or former military. But when the brownshirts come calling, I would not expect people to scared to vote for their beliefs to open fire on them.

Most will hand their guns in and go back to watching Reality TV after they direct the Brownshirts next door to a neighbor with an American flag sticker on his truck.

A reminder from Australia.

From: Ed Chenel, A police officer in Australia

Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under. It has now been 12 months since gun
owners in Australia were forced by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by our own
government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.

The first year results are now in:

Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria .....alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed
drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.

Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in 'successfully ridding Australian society of guns....'

You won't see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.

The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note Americans, before it's too late!

Automatic, semi-automatic, and slide-action longarms were banned. Before that, they were certainly around...looking at a now-404 Australian shooters’ page I saw pictures of the collections some had before the ban/”buyback”. I saw SLRs, Garands, G43s, even a few 1941 Johnsons. Truly enough to make one cringe at what had been lost.

They didn’t come out with their latest report from the DoJ with help from the Southern Poverty Law Center claiming the real threat to the country was “domestic” terrorist, meaning anyone that disagrees with the adm., for nothing.

The two other times this was done we ended up with the OKC bombing in 1995 and an attempted car bombing in NYC in 2010.

In 1995 Clinton tried to make it appear as if McVeigh and other “right wing extremist” had collaborated with a foreign govt., Iraq, to wage war against the US so he could use the full force of the govt, including federal troops, to target his enemies.

In 2010 after the attempted bombing there was calls to declare the TEA Party a terrorist group and round them up.

People keep telling themselves it can’t happen here and it can.

Agenda 21’s Turtle Island/Wildlands project provision calls for like 500,000 across America as a desired population. Thats official policy, not tinfoil.

Funny how those who come up with these evil & nutty ideas never include themselves in the part of the herd to cull. I wonder why?

This doesn't just mean confiscation. This means confiscation on the cheap - "We'll give you $100 for that Browning over-and-under and guess what? It's mandatory!" Oh, and since Congress won't pass it (and they won't), we'll just do it by executive order. And if anybody does get shot in the process, it just proves how violent those Gun People are.

These were, of course, the same people who reassured us for years that "nobody" wants to confiscate guns. Apparently "nobody" is running for President.
