New Jersey –-(Ammoland.com)- News that a mandatory, government sponsored gun buy back scheme is in the planning stages emerged last Friday.
Friday is well known as the day of the week in the news cycle to release information or statements that is unusually controversial or ” bad news” , the theory being that the general public will be so distracted by the upcoming weekend that they will pay little if any attention.
Exploiting this common practice, word emerged at the end of last week that Congresswoman Dianne Feinstein and NY State Gov Andrew Cuomo are actively working on a planned govt fiat to seize lawfully owned private property without cause. In the form of an Australian style MANDATORY firearms buy back program, going so far as to tout that Countries program and so called positive results, while conveniently omitting the fact that Australia’s violent crime rate dramatically increased in the wake of the scheme and continues unabated.
While details are scant in both Feinstein’s and Cuomo’s press release on the plan, Cuomo was quoted as making it clear that the buyback would be compulsory and participation mandatory. Although it remains a question what the penalties for non compliance would be.
Cuomo further added that they would make gun owners “an offer they can’t refuse” when referring to buyback amounts of up to 500 dollars.
Sounding more like a NY mafioso then a “leader” in a Free State with significant Constitutional Protections in the way. Cuomo’s offer serves not only to further reveal his elitist arrogance, but also highlights his ignorance, presuming that the owner of a 1 , 2 or 3000 dollar firearm (or multiple ones) would roll over and comply for a cash value orders of magnitude below retail values.
Also worthy of note is Dianne Feinstein’s previous quotes on the news program 60 Minutes several years ago. During her interview with Mike Wallace about the 1994 to 2004 Clinton Era “Assault Weapons Ban” , where Feinstein lamented the fact she felt the law didn’t go far enough and 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 ’em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here.”
This is the same Feinstein who admitted in another, different interview that when she felt threatened by terrorists, she carried a gun for self defense and stated “I carried a concealed weapon. I made the determination that if somebody was going to try to take me out, I was going to take them with me.” — 27 April 1995.
And Gov Cuomo has a taxpayer supplied 24/7 security detail armed with actual, real fully automatic “assault weapons” at his side and disposal for his safety and the safety of his loved ones.
There should now be overwhelming evidence to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that we are no longer being “led” by elected Officials that took their Oath of Office seriously, but by rulers, tyrants who would be Kings, no different then King George III. We might as well take down Old Glory from every State Capitol and the US Capitol in DC and replace it with the Union Jack, while we’re at it, we can rename Congress, Parliament, because there really are no significant recognizable differences between the yoke of tyranny we are under today and the one we threw off over 200 years ago.
If Feinstein’s and Cuomo’s plan is allowed to proceed even one step further without being vociferously and publicly protested and killed in utero, they will have effectively struck the match and lit the fuse on a Second American Revolution.

Cuomo, you come in the posture where you tell my wife you will give her an offer she can’t refuse. Mafia will meet their maker if they tread near whom is precious to me. Behold, a great beast will rise and decimate you while you think to yourself, “I sit a queen, and am no widow. I shall see no sorrow …….” Let it come to your swelled head Sindikat. In time. In time.
I have read all the comments I sure hope we all stick together Time well tell WE all know time is running out IN closing i hope we have people in DC THAT ARE GOOD AMERICANS AND DO THE RIGHT THING GOD BLESS THE USA AND ALL YOU GOOD AMERICANS
Mandatory buy back? They mean mandatory confiscation. What are they going to do if no one turns in their guns? They going to come get them? They going to throw otherwise law abiding citizens in jails we don't have? Diane Feinstein seems to have grand ideas to confiscate everyone’s guns, I would like to see here on the front porch of those that don’t
People seriously now. Remember what they did with gold in 1940's and 1971 gold window? They bought gold then, inflated the price, instant wealth transfer, not from the rich to the poor but from the poor/middle class to the elite rich that control said gold. If people are smart they wont participate in the guns buyback unfortunately many in America are brain dead right now. For those with courage please protest and boycott. Confiscation of guns = opening window for the government to suppress their citizens also makes us an easier target to be invaded. A well armed citizenry can… Read more »
I have a question regarding the photo of communists burning confiscated firearms . In a country that firearms have been virtually banned and illegal my entire life , where do the subjects of that communist regime get them ? Kind of makes you wonder what the hell good would a ban do in the united States where they have been legal from the inception of he country . They would NEVER get them ALL . I , in fact , have three already buried with a sizable amount of ammunition in water proof containers with nothing more required to locate… Read more »
