Yes, They Want Our Guns: Sen. Raphael Warnock Supports Harris Enforcing Mandatory Gun Buybacks

Posted • September 9, 2024: On Twitter, you will find no shortage of leftists demanding that the government take away Americans' firearms by force. Usually, these demands come in the form of a low-follower account that promises to go door-to-door confiscating weapons. We generally don't highlight those random accounts at Twitchy, but the universal reaction to these stunning and brave tweets is everyone laughing at them, or inviting them to come and give it a try, or both at the same time. When it comes to Democrat politicians and gun confiscation, however, there is always a dance. The pols who want people's votes know this is a horrible idea, not to mention blatantly unconstitutional, so they try to hide their intentions with vague statements like 'Well, we have to do something.' No, you really, really don't.

But they obviously want to. This was the case yesterday when Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock appeared on Meet The Press. Warnock's presence on the show was no mistake, as NBC News wanted him there to politicize the recent shooting at a high school in Atlanta.

NBC: Should Kamala try to pass mandatory gun confiscation, which she has repeatedly said she supports?

Top Harris surrogate Raphael Warnock: "We're not going to be able to get where we need to go without action."

NBC: Yes or no?

Warnock: Yes.

Notice the dance. Warnock is asked a simple question and then speaks for nearly two minutes about 'doing something.' But when pressed on the issue (and we're a little bit surprised that he was pressed at all), he clearly states that he supports buyback programs. As a reminder, the person who Warnock supports and who he was representing yesterday, Kamala Harris, was much less ambiguous about supporting mandatory buyback programs. Believe them when they tell you who they are. Oh, we believe them. We know they want to disarm citizens. Gavin Newsom says it nearly every week. Mandatory gun confiscation. This should go well. Yes, it is important that conservatives call this what it is: confiscation. It is not a 'buyback.' That word doesn't even make sense, considering that no Americans buy their firearms from the government. “Mandatory buyback” is Orwellian new speak for *confiscation*! Did the government buy back the firearms from the Lakota members that they subsequently slaughtered at Wounded Knee? Bingo. (…)
