Bernie Sanders: Mandatory Gun ‘Buybacks’ are Unconstitutional, ‘Essentially Confiscation’

Now that Robert Francis O’Rourke is just a fading memory, the field of Democrat contenders hasn’t made much gun-related news in the last week or so. That changed today.

Bernie Sanders is in Iowa this week and took a question from the crowd at a greed jobs rally regarding Beto-esque mandatory gun “buybacks” for AR-15s and AK-47s.

The Vermont socialist had this to say about that . . .

I don’t support — a mandatory buyback is essentially confiscation, which I think is unconstitutional. It means that I am going to walk into your house and take something whether you like it or not. I don’t think that stands up to constitutional scrutiny.
