Fox news reports that at a recent campaign stop Hillary Clinton commented that she would be in favor of a mandatory gun confiscation similar to the one that was put into place in Australia. I have had this conversation with liberals who don’t believe that gun control laws aren’t about guns but about control. Every statist, dictatorial regime has collected the guns from their citizens first before rounding up the trouble makers. The critics who recently had a cow over the remarks of Ben Carson on this very subject should now be required to explain just how it is that the presumed front-runner in the Democrat primary wants to violate the second amendment rights of America’s citizens by taking away their firearms in direct contradiction to what the constitution says.
Hillary Clinton said Friday that mandatory gun buy-back programs like ones in Australia are “worth looking into,” sparking criticism that the Democratic presidential front-runner would, if elected, impose gun-confiscation efforts.
Clinton made the comments during a campaign stop in Keene, N.H., when an attendee asked about Australia’s 1996 and 2003 buy-back programs that collected roughly 700,000 banned semi-automatic rifles and other firearms.
“I think it would be worth considering doing it on the national level, if that could be arranged,” Clinton responded.
“This validates what the NRA has said all along,” said Chris Cox, executive director of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action. “The real goal of gun control supporters is gun confiscation.”
Cox said Clinton’s comments echo recent ones by President Obama, making “very clear” that the underlying goal of gun-control advocates is confiscation.
