Sen. Cory Booker endorsed the proposal set by former Rep. Beto O'Rourke for mandatory confiscation of AR-15s and similar rifles, but said "demagogues" are using fear in describing how it would be carried out.
"What’s your view on mandatory gun buybacks or confiscation? And is there a difference?" CNN anchor John Berman asked Booker after Thursday night's Democratic debate.
"Well, look. I hate when Democrats use the language that Republicans try to use to scare people away as opposed to the sort of pragmatism and practicality of this," the New Jersey Democrat said on Friday.

Nobody can ever accuse lie-berals of having even a tiny grasp of logic, reason, or facts!!!!!!!!!
If the government is going to confiscate you guns, and you don't voluntarily comply, how exactly do these lie-berals expect to take those guns from you?!?!?!?
Actually, he may be right. They probably don't plan to use "armed police" to take our guns. They probably plan to use "armed military personnel". So I guess you can't say that Booker is telling a "lie" per se!!!!!

You and your party wouldn't even mention it if it weren't true.

It is not fear-mongering when we know from past experience that the Feds have used armed police to enforce their will.
Remember Elian Gonzalez? His mother risked and then lost her life trying to flee totalitarian Cuba, bringing her son with her. He survived and was being cared for by relatives. Bill Clinton's Justice Department under the direction of Janet Reno sent armed police to remove him from his relatives' home.
So . . . to Booker and the other low-rent idiots from the DNC: You all have used armed police to enforce your will plenty of times before now. I don't see how you lot have changed . . . except for the worse.

And the Feds may even alert CNN ahead of time.

I think I remember it was "fear mongering" when the Democrats threatened a 55 mph national speed limit. How did that work out for everyone. As long as a liberal is allowed to tell you what to do and think...they will!

IT IS ABUSE TO HAVE TO SEE CORY BOOKER'S FACE AND THEN WATCH THAT PIE HOLE SPEW LIES.
He is the 'greatest loser' of the remains...

Doing a little damage control Cory? ‘Mandatory buy back’ is a PC term for confiscation. You won’t do it with unarmed liberals.

Those who are willing to stand and fight whatever threat you might name are called: xxxxphobic. But isn't it those who bow and scrape and yield to these criminals who are the true "Phobics" ? I stand against Islam because it is a Nazi offshoot pretending to be a religion. I stand against the "Climate change" industry because it is just another big government hoax designed to hoodwink good people into surrendering their liberties to enable big government. I stand against gun control because it is the core issue of free people and limited government. I stand against the gender LGBTQ nonsense because at six foot six and three hundred pounds I just don't look good in taffeta.

Maybe Svartacus Booker wants to use the Swalwell approach and just drop nuclear bombs on gun owners.

So the government will aggressively go after legal firearms but won't aggressively go after millions of criminal aliens who are walking around in broad daylight. I get it. No further explanation is needed.

Spartacus says that his Government "Department of Take Away Your Guns" civilian officers will politely ring your doorbell and nicely ask that you deposit your guns in the handy container that they have.
Of course, if you don't comply with their reasonable request, the SWAT team will kick in the door the next day.

Yeah, where would we get a crazy idea like that....maybe from all the Dem clowns saying it repeatedly as they run for the office of President?
Booker is an idiot, much like the other "candidates" on the Dem side.

Yeah, Hitler didn't like that language either so he hired Joseph Goebbels to soften up the language for him.

Now the Washington Examiner has joined the list of brain-dead buttwipes who know NOTHING about guns.
The National Firearms Act was passed in 1934, not 1986. The Firearms Owners Protection Act was passed in 1986; it got rid of a lot of firearms restrictions.
Cory Booker is trying to backtrack by talking about "practicality" and "pragmatism" when his views are exactly the same as O'Rourke's - he wants to come and confiscate them all.

You don't want us to have guns. We won't let you take them...you will have to use armed psychopants to TRY and collect them...but better bring body bags...
