Buchanan: "There Would Be A Revolution" If Government Confiscated Weapons | RealClearPolitics »
PAT BUCHANAN: There are three million ArmaLite rifles, those Bushmaster types, out there right now. And people are buying them like hotcakes, every gun show the sales are up enormously. Forty-one percent, they were up in December -- for last December, which was a record year. John, what is common though, Eleanor [Clift] is correct, the push is going to come on three things. Grandfather in the assault weapons that are here now, to try to outlaw assault weapons, outlaw magazines that carry more than 11 or 12 bullets, and also background checks at gun shows. JOHN MCLAUGHLIN: With no Second Amendment, Congress could pass a law, as limited as this: banning assault rifles or as sweeping as prohibiting all private firearm ownership and requiring the surrender of all privately held firearms. BUCHANAN: There would be a revolution in this country! MCLAUGHLIN: Baloney! That doesn't mean you can't own one, but you have to put it in first and then go try -- BUCHANAN: There are 270 million guns in this country right now, John, and there adding to them at a rate of 16 million a year.
