We hear this constantly. Every time the possibility of a new gun law or executive order is uttered... the leftists come out in droves and repeat the tired old line: "Nobody is coming to take your guns."
Just thought I'd create this thread to post examples wherein people are saying that. Feel free to share your examples. I'm breaking one of my own rules by linking to places like Salon, et al... but there are too many links here for me to go through archiving them all.
(Some of these found here: Geeky Leftist: The gun bans and confiscation we're told nobody is talking about ) Also check out a new Subreddit called "No one wants to take your guns"... wherein they post examples of just the opposite: https://www.reddit.com/r/NOWTTYG/
