    Great sound bite but he won't make the cut.
    Biden has gone on record supporting confiscation.

    Warren has refused to answer the question.

    So it's not just Beto.

    Do these people not see that they are making themselves unelectable?

    Not that that's a bad thing, mind.

    Serious question. What happens when the people vote to "do something", counter to the constitution we (whoever that is) believe in, and enforcement begins? I recall awhile back a number of WA Sheriffs stated they would not enforce new regulations.
    Taking a break from social media.

    I think we need to sue the left for co-opting the term "triggered". Just the mere mention of "trigger" should be enough to trigger them, after all.
    There's nothing civil about this war.

    Booker said some blather later when asked about confiscation/buy back : We will treat them like machine guns.

    Whatever that means in detail.

    I would like to ask a different question to push them beyond the virtue signaling of the AWB.

    "Do you support the right of a law abiding citizen to own a handgun for self-defense and carry such?"

    Cut the crap about your uncle's deer blind.

    As an aside, Biden is loosing it. I don't know why commentators said he did a good job. He might support keeping a double barrel next to his record player.

    He wants to take “weapons of war”.

    Which war? What century?

    If we have to march off into the next world, let us walk there on the bodies of our enemies.

    Weapons of war is a common term to give a vivid image of why a normal person shouldn't own one. Romney was using it and the Zumbo/Metcalf crowd used it. As Joe Scarborough said (something like this): I don't need an assault rifle with a clip of 30 cop killer bullets to take my son deer hunting.

    He is/was a 'conservative' from the Florida panhandle.

    I, for one, enjoyed the Dem debate.

    By continuing to offer the same old, same old crap-

    Gun bans/confiscation
    Redistribution of wealth (socialist plans for healthcare, social and economic justice "reforms", masdive debt forgiveness programs, etc.)
    The ridiculous climate change claims (the world ends in 12 years, etc.) and demands to become "carbon-free" in a decade or two
    Calls for the continuance of endless congressional probes, investigations and presidential harassment

    -makes the entire field appear to be unelectable. I never thought I'd see the day where Biden would come off as being a reasonable, rational centrist in a debate, but the degree of "crazy" shown by the other presidential hopefuls made that the case.

    By not having a cogent, broadly appealing platform, they are doing everything that they can to hand the 2020 contest to Trump.

    They are all weapons of war. Sigs, Berettas, 1911s, Mausers, SAAs, S&Ws, Henrys. All.

    Theoretically that is why the oath taken by US military and and federal government employees talks about upholding the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.

    We don’t really know because prior gun bans have either had grandfather clauses like the 94 federal ban or been enforced through attrition as in CA and NY.

    Forcible confiscation on a mass scale has not yet been tried. My guess is you would see similar distribution to that of the American revolution- 1/3 would support / enforce it, 1/3 would be in the middle / neutral and 1/3 would actively resist or refuse to enforce it. There would be regional variations.

    Unlike Australia there is no central registry of firearms at the national level so identifying who bought banned guns is only step one. You would then have to prove they still have them and prove it to a judge per 4th amendment standards. Essentially logistics make it unenforceable unless you gutted the constitution and violated Posse Commitatus.
