New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is now blatantly calling for banning practically all firearms and mass confiscation.
The 29-year-old Congresswoman said she supports a ban on all semiautomatic firearms and high capacity magazines. This really equates to a total firearm band since semiautomatic firearms are the majority.
She also called for several gun control laws and bans that we already have, showing that she is really doesn’t care about facts, is incapable of learning about what she doesn’t understand or just like to lie to rile up lunatic leftists.
Ocasio-Cortez tweeted out, “You know, instead of training children, teachers, houses of faith, & concertgoers to prep for being shot, we could just:
- Pass Universal Background checks (#HR8!)
- Disarm domestic abusers
- Mandate safe storage
- Ban bump stocks, semiautos, & high cap mags designed to kill people”

Ocasio-Cortez previously tweeted out praises for the New Zealand prime minister for essentially doing what she called for.
“Sandy Hook happened 6 years ago and we can’t even get the Senate to hold a vote on universal background checks w/ #HR8.
“Christchurch happened, and within days New Zealand acted to get weapons of war out of the consumer market. This is what leadership looks like,” she said.

Twitter lit up with replies from people with common sense who pointed out how ignorant she is of firearms, gun control laws and the 2nd Amendment. Some of them are included below.
A ban on all semiautomatic firearms. This is a gun ban. They are coming for your guns. Either that or she does not comprehend that near every gun in the United States, including handguns, is semiautomatic.

AOC comes out in favor of banning semi-automatic firearms which make up the vast majority of legally-owned firearms in the United States. https://t.co/SUwDwV2vKh

Dear #AOC, you forgot one thing: the Constitution of the United States of America GUARANTEES that the right to keep and bear arms “shall not be infringed.” That means to not undermine, erode, diminish, weaken, impair, damage, or compromise. #2A #1A #Merica #ConstitutionalCarry 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/4kQ02IKHfa

-Background checks already required
-People with violent records are already prohibited from having firearms
-“Mandate safe storage” is unenforceable, unless you want to violate the Fourth Amendment, which you probably do
-Bump stocks already banned
-“semiautos” = nearly all guns https://t.co/Dsp0Tdn20S— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) March 22, 2019
Not a single one of those would have stopped any major shooting in the US
But at least we would have done something
And by something I mean
Eroding rights to make liberals feel like they did something https://t.co/J4NMiN9lbU— Jim Hanson (@Uncle_Jimbo) March 22, 2019
