Democrats Make Clear They Will Come for Guns

At this point, it is unlikely that Democrats will win a fair election. Unfortunately, it is not unlikely that they will hold on to power, just as likeminded leftists did in Venezuela with the tacit approval of Kamala Harris. If that is how our history unfolds, a primary order of business will be to disarm the population. This effort is already underway:

“Assault weapon” is a useful term only in that it is sufficiently expansive to allow Democrats to confiscate anything that might be used for self-defense.

They will come for America’s rifle first, if only for symbolic reasons. Via Breitbart:

President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have consistently pushed a ban against America’s most popular rifle–the AR-15–throughout the tenure of their administration.

Moreover, Harris, as the Democrat presidential candidate, has continued to push the ban as part of her campaign. Her running mate, Democrat Tim Walz, also supports the gun control.

The pretext is to reduce the crime that Democrats have gone out of their way to increase. However,

The U.S.. had an “assault weapons” ban from 1994 to 2004, and the Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ) indicated the ban could not be credited with any reduction in crime.

When confiscating ARs fails to produce utopia, “assault weapons” will be redefined as any semiauto and soon as any gun period.

According to statistics gathered at Ammo.com, the Harris/Walz regime will have a big job ahead of it:

• The most recent estimates (2024) suggest there are over 500 million civilian-owned firearms in the United States.

That’s why Comrade Kamala wants to hit the ground running.

More bullet points:

• In 2000, the ATF estimated there were 259 million firearms in the U.S.

• The largest surge in gun purchases occurred between 2020 and 2023, with over 1 million NICS background checks for purchases each month for 57 consecutive months.

Why do you suppose there was a surge during this period?

Gun sales will skyrocket again if Democrats cling to power — until they are stopped altogether.
