The candidate responded, “I do believe that we need to do buybacks.” Making clear that she believes Americans’ Second Amendment rights are for sale, the senator added “A buyback program is a good idea. Now we need to do it the right way. And part of that has to be, you know, buyback and give people their value, the financial value.”Further demonstrating her commitment to gun confiscation, Harris called for a “mandatory buyback program” during an October 3, 2019 MSNBC gun control forum. Harris told those gathered, “We have to have a buyback program, and I support a mandatory gun buyback program.” A month later, Harris reiterated her support for gun confiscation to NBC Nightly News. When asked about the specifics of her confiscation program, Harris responded, “well what we’ll do is have an incentive for people to turn them in.” Harris isn’t the only politician in recent years to make clear that they are in fact “trying to come after your guns.” Rather, overt calls for gun confiscation have become an obvious fixture of gun control politics. During the second term of his presidency, Barack Obama repeatedly cited Australia’s confiscatory gun control measures when advocating for new U.S. gun controls. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton followed suit, expressing her support for Australia-style gun confiscation. The campaign for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination was replete calls for gun confiscation. In May 2019, Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) expressed his support for gun confiscation to CNN, explaining, “We should have a law that bans these weapons and we should have a reasonable period in which people can turn in these weapons.” During the September 12, 2019, Democratic debate, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke was asked about his proposal to confiscate commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms. The former manny responded in part by saying, “hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.” In November 2018, Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) famously suggested that nuclear weapons would make short work of those who might resist his gun confiscation program. Then there is Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who just introduced a new version of her bill to ban commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and standard capacity magazines – S.736. Discussing her 1994 semi-auto ban – which sunset in 2004 – with CBS’s “60 Minutes” in 1995, the senator lamented the fact that she was unable to secure the votes to confiscate existing semi-automatic firearms. The former mayor of San Francisco stated, “If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them, Mr. and Mrs. America, turn them all in, I would have done it.” Perhaps the reason so many gun owners believe that politicians are “trying to come after” their guns is that so many politicians are on the record advocating gun confiscation. NRA members and other gun rights supporters should work to inform others of these politicians’ gun confiscation agenda and to expose Harris’s shameless dishonesty.
