The NRA says she wants to "confiscate" your guns. She probably does, but this has been discussed before. It didn't fly then and it won't now. All she's doing is riding the same horse she always rides. She's playing off of the terrible shootings recently and use them as a candidate ploy. I agree that I'm as sick as anyone else about the mass shootings, but really, what can be done to prevent them? The only way I can think of is for these shooters friends, family, and loved ones to report any change in a person they know who has a fantasy with guns. If they already know the person has mental disorders or have been in psychiatric care, they should be scrutinized constantly. My brothers son has mental issues. My brother sells guns on the Internet. He gave my nephew an M-16 and an AK-47. I talked to my brother about it and he gets upset with me, but I don't care. I think my nephew is a loose cannon and I'm constantly checking on him. He, like many others already have his WMD's. It worries the hell out of me. Oh, BTW, he's an alcoholic also. Now to Clinton's ideas which was actually asked by an audience member.
It's "worth considering" whether the United States should emulate Australia by instituting a national gun buyback program, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said Friday at a town hall in New Hampshire.
A man in the audience asked Clinton whether she thought it would be possible for the U.S. to enact such a program, and if not, why. Gun buybacks have happened at the metropolitan level in the U.S., but any effort at the national level would be sure to run into intense political opposition.
Clinton, for her part, seemed open to the idea.

Amen, Sergeant-Major! Molon Labe! When the Persians told the 300 Spartans they would let them live if they would only hand over their weapons, the Spartans responded with "Molon Labe!" Which means..."Come take them.."

Come and take them! I wonder if any members of the liberal parties actually think Americans if faced with gun bans are going to actually willfully surrender their firearms. I guarantee you that all such legislation would bring is further violence and death as millions of Americans either shoot or are shot by the government agents that try to take them. They know not the wrath that they would incur upon themselves should they truly expect Americans to surrender to them. Hell, I think a grand majority of our countries military personnel and other government employees would probably laugh in the face of the government and refuse to act on the governments behalf to try and forcefully take them as well because it would mean disarming ourselves, our family and our friends.

Do I support a "Gun Buy-Back" Program?
Yes, BUT not in the same sense as Hell-ary and the rest of the "Gun-Grabbers" are talking about.
I think there should be a "buy-Back" program in place for those that WANT to get rid of their guns, but don't want or don't have the time to go though the rig-a-ma-roll of selling them personally should have an option to just take them to a PD and sell them.
BUT IN NO WAY SHOULD THIS BE A MANDATORY PROGRAM!!!

Of course not. That would deny you freedom of speech, which isn't protected by PC.
