Totally. Like every day. I can't seem to find any specific examples though, would you mind helping me out with that?
Google "assault weapons ban". Click the news tab. It's automatically sorted by newest.
Banning the sale of military-style assault weapons is exactly the same thing as taking your guns away.
They were being sarcastic because it actually isn't
"Yes we're going to take your AR-15s" - Beto O'Rourke
Doesn't sound like banning the sale of them, sounds like outright banning them to me.
Beto o rourke? Doesn’t ring a bell. Remind me what office he holds ?
No seriously though- really nice work. You found one quote from the former mayor of a Texas town who currently holds no office, and you’re using that quote like it defines a literally decades-long campaign of “Dems are gonna take your guns” Come on man you can do better than that. I’ll even GIVE you one: “ take their guns first, do due process second” there, that one’s on me.
He was a nominee for presidential candidate* you baffoon, and a close ally with Biden as well.
And that's just one example from 2019. There are plenty more examples if you dig a bit more.
Yup, that's another good one, but unfortunately that one wasn't spoken by a "dem". Still a great example of authoritarians trying to disarm civilians which is precisely what I am against.
There’s no need for name-calling here. If that’s how you want to debate you can do it with someone else.
I genuinely didn't mean to insult you with the word "baffoon", but I honestly find it silly that you're taking the "holier than though" approach here. Whatever floats your boat.
