If gun grabbers thought they could they would ban and confiscate handguns as handguns are the weapon of choice in criminal activities and often mass murders.
This is a lie.
There are no ‘gun grabbers.’
No one seeks to ‘confiscate’ guns – this is nothing but rightwing demagoguery and dishonesty.
How about….

The New York Times created quite a stir recently when they ran a front page op-ed – the first of

An older article that discusses gun confiscation that didn’t happen but still is pertinent as it mentions gun grabbers.
California calling for door-to-door gun confiscations; ban of all semi-automatic handguns, shotguns and rifles; making possession of over 500 rounds of ammo a felony; and a list of proposals that will instantly criminalize law abiding gun owners...

Gun grabbed do indeed exist.
Well, your link shows us 5 folk had "wish lists" and such, but to date the various consensus from the Party and committees voted that type of thinking down. Beto shot his mouth off, but couldn't get support from the Party. just saying.
That does not change the fact that there are people who want to disarm American citizens and would be willing to implement a mandatory gun buyback program (which is gun confiscation) or raid known gun owner’s homes to confiscate their weapons. To call such people “gun grabbers” is appropriate and accurate as that is what they are.
Of course this is nothing new.
Mark Borinsky founded the National Council to Control Handguns in 1974. He served as Chair until 1976. Charlie Orasin was a key player in the founding and growth of Handgun Control (HCI). He worked at HCI from 1975 until 1992.[8]
Nelson "Pete" Shields became the organization's chairman in 1978 and retired in 1989.[9] In July 1976, Shields estimated that it would take seven to ten years for NCCH to reach the goal of "total control of handguns in the United States." He said: "The first problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns being produced and sold in this country. The second is to get handguns registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition – except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors – totally illegal."[10] In 1987 Shields said that he believed "in the right of law-abiding citizens to possess handguns... for legitimate purposes.".[11]

Uhh, yeah it DOES CHANGE THE FACT that folk like you consistently claim that "gun grabbing" is the end game for any gun control legislation. As I pointed out, NONE of your examples are nothing more than A FEW INDIVIDUALS WHO COULD NOT GAIN CONSENSUS FOR THEIR VIEWS IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. THE FINAL LEGISLATIONS GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO SECURE PRE- LAW PURCHASES AND OWNERSHIP. Period. And I already did the dance concerning Mr. Shields, Borinksy and subsequent like examples with another poster on this thread. If you guys can't come up with something original, then please stop wasting time and space.
Of course you will deny that the end run objective of many of your fellow liberals is to implement draconian gun control in our nation and to ban and confiscate most if not all civilian owned firearms. Perhaps you are deceived by their propaganda.
But they can’t accomplish their goal if the average citizen realizes what they are up to. The gun grabbers learned after years of attempts by the anti-gun organization Handgun Control Inc. that banning handguns (the firearm most used in crimes) is impossible as a first goal. Therefore they decided to adopt an incremental approach. First ban a basically unpopular type of firearm — rifles that resembled fully automatic rifles used by the military such as the AR-15.
The gun banners pushed through a Federal Assault Weapons ban to stop the manufacture and sale of such weapons but it had loopholes in the law big enough to drive a semi through. The bottomline was it really didn’t ban anything. Even high capacity magazines were available as long as they were manufactured before a certain date.
Gun owners decided to buy modified versions of the AR-15 which were legal to manufacture under the Assault Weapons Ban and they discovered it was a very accurate rifle that was easy to modify without taking it to a gunsmith. It could be used for hunting and also for home defense. It’s lack of recoil made it more poplar with women than a shotgun for self defense. Soon the AR-15 became the most popular rifle in the nation and millions and millions ended up in civilian hands.
The first Federal Assault Weapons Ban was allowed to “sunset” after ten years. Everybody agreed it had accomplished nothing.
Now we are once again witnessing the gun grabbers trying to ban and confiscate firearms. It almost seems the plan this time to ban the police (defund or handicap police departments) causing gun crime to skyrocket and therefore leading to a demand to disarm civilians.
Well the big democrat cities have shafted their police departments and cops are quitting in mass or becoming reactive rather than proactive. Crime including gun crime is SKYROCKETING. Unfortunately for the gun grabbers liberals are becoming first time gun owners because they realize dialing 911 means the cops will show up just in time to put out crime scene tape.
Today we witnessed our President addressing the rising crime rate. Being a gun grabber, he of course blamed firearms and once again called for another Federal Assaualt Weapons Ban. He wanted to see weapons like the AR-15 banned again and mentioned that deer don’t wear Kevlar so you don’t need a weapon that can use a 100 round magazine to hunt deer. In many states where it is legal to hunt deer with a semi-automatic rifle the hunter is limited to a five round magazine. Joe Biden may not realize that but to be fair he is in the early stages of dementia and may not know what end of the rifle the bullet comes out of.
He did mention patriots using weapons such as an AR-15 to overthrow a tyrannical government but said they would need F15 fighters or nuclear weapons to win the fight. I get the feeling he would nuke American cities that are under the control of patriots but he has the balls to criticize Assad for using chemical weapons on his people in Syria.
I really don’t expect the gun grabbers to get far with gun bans this time. However assume they do blow up the filibuster and force legislation through requiring all gun owners to turn their “assault weapons” into a mandatory federal buy back program (which is gun confiscation). I doubt if gun owners will just line up and turn their weapons in like a bunch of British wimps.
But even though I don’t expect the gun grabbers will have much success I still will oppose any and all efforts to ban or federally register firearms.
Gun grabbers are like the camel who pokes its nose under the tent. If you let the camel get away with this then before you know it the entire camel will be in the tent.
