Eight Democrat Presidential Hopefuls Who Plan to Come for Your Guns

Every Democrat presidential hopeful supports a slew of gun controls but eight in particular actually plan to ban certain guns that law-abiding Americans currently possess.
The positions vary from simply banning certain types of guns to confiscating them via a mandated ban and buyback combo.

Here are the eight Democrats and their positions:

• Cory Booker — Wants to institute a ban on AR-15s and other commonly owned semiautomatic weapons that would include taking the guns away from law-abiding citizens who currently own them. On May 6, 2019, the Washington Examiner quoted Booker telling CNN, “Again, we should have a law that bans these weapons, and we should have a reasonable period in which people can turn in these weapons. Right now we have a nation that allows in streets and communities like mine these weapons that should not exist.”
• Joe Biden — During the June 27, 2019, Democrat debates Biden espoused a confiscatory plan very similar to Booker’s. Breitart News quoted Biden saying, “Folks, look, and I would buy back those weapons. We already started talking about that. We tried to get it done. I think it can be done. And it should be demanded that we do it. And that’s a good expenditure of money.”
• Bernie Sanders — Sanders showed strong support for New Zealand’s ban and mandated buyback of certain semiautomatic rifles. On March 21, 2019–the day after New Zealand’s ban was announced–Breitbart News reported that Bernie called for a similar ban in America.
• Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke — O’Rourke supports an all-out ban on AR-15s and other commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles. On June 26, 2019, he tweeted, “Following the lead of the students marching for their lives, we need to implement universal background checks, pass red flag laws, and keep weapons of war on the battlefield—so they’re not trained against our communities in synagogues and churches, concerts and movie theaters.”
• Kamala Harris — Harris supports renewing the 1994 ban on “assault weapons.” She says as president, she would give Congress 100 days to ban the weapons and if they failed she would executive gun control to ban import of AR-15s and other commonly-owned semiautomatic rifles. On May 15, 2019, she tweeted: “I sponsored the bill to renew the assault weapons ban. We need to do it. But if Congress won’t act, I’ll take executive action as president to ban imports of AR-15-style assault weapons. We can’t afford to wait any longer as these guns flood our country.”
• Julian Castro — Axios reports that Castro supports banning “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines.
• Tulsi Gabbard — Gabbard’s campaign website puts her support for an “assault weapons” front and center. The campaign site also states, “Tulsi has an F-rating from the NRA, a 0% rating by the Hawaii Rifle Association, and a 100% rating by the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.”
• Marianne Williamson — Williamson’s campaign website notes her support for “eliminating the sale of assault rifles and semi-automatic weapons.”

So-called "law abiding citizens" have killed more people in domestic (US) gun violence than have died in all of our wars. Why do you want this massacre to continue?

That's a stark contradiction of terms. "Law abiding citizens" don't kill people for no reason.

What did they say about wrestling it from cold dead hands?

Have they killed more than Planned Parenthood? BTW, what does PP do with the bodies? Use them for financial gain? Yes, they do. Have a nice day.

Let's say for argument sake that is true. Why do you believe taking away gun rights from law abiding citizens is the answer? Further, how does doing that address the issue of why these things happen in the first place?

Also you want to get rid of guns but you support politicians and a party whose platform is the slaughter of unborn children. How do you reconcile those?

Do you see the same number of gun deaths in any other civilized nation? Of course not. The extreme domination of the gun lobby in America is blocking even common sense measures to deal with all these gun related deaths here.

This thread is not about abortion. Everything is not about abortion.

It is. That's my point and why I put it in quotation marks.

When it comes to conversations about how many deaths happen in this country it is a legitimate comparison. But I can see why you would want to avoid that topic.

What Guns?

 

[HankD]

It may very well be that when that day comes that all 393 million firearms in America will have disappeared and/or been stolen.

Just saying...

 

[Alcott]

Let's have your numbers and where you get them from.

At the same time America is not facing UK's "national emergency" of knife crimes.

The problem is not guns but hearts.

 

[OnlyaSinner]

The logical comparison, which might also support your ideas, would be of suicide rates and murder rates and aggravated assault rates. Comparing gun violence rates amounts to a tautology. If murder is in my heart and I have a gun, that's what I'll use. If all I have is a knife, that's what I'll use

 

[JonC]

The larger problem is whether one group (even if a majority) can deny another group rights that are providen citizens without cause.

This is a larger problem because it can be extended to other rights.

 

[Adonia]

is blocking even common sense measures to deal with all these gun related deaths here.

Gun owners already have to jump through more hoops to be able to buy firearms than any other citizen who wants to exercise a constitutionally protected right. Every time I buy a firearm from a licensed dealer I must go through a background check and get the government's okay before I exercise one of my constitutional rights.

So tell me, what right is it that you cherish where you would have no problem having to prove your innocence every time you wanted to exercise it?

 

[Adonia]

When it comes to conversations about how many deaths happen in this country it is a legitimate comparison. But I can see why you would want to avoid that topic.

Yep, we are talking about deaths and constitutional rights. (Even though I cannot find the "right to an abortion" anywhere in our governing document).

 

[Adonia]

Do you see the same number of gun deaths in any other civilized nation?

Please. Any nation that allows it's future citizens to be sliced and diced in the womb IS NOT CIVILIZED!
