A panelist on CNN fantasized about a Democrat president declaring a “crime crisis” over firearms to confiscate guns from American citizens, claiming the Trump administration has set the precedent.
Appearing on CNN Tuesday night protesting President Donald Trump’s military crackdown on crime in DC and talks of deploying the National Guard to Chicago, panelist Jonah Goldberg asked at this point what’s to stop the next Democrat president from declaring guns a crisis and picking them all up.
CNN is now floating the idea that the next Democratic President will order the military to go door-to-door to confiscate firearms from law-abiding Americans.

“I’m all for crime reduction,” Goldberg said. “But the conservatives were celebrating this.”
The anti-Trump commentator went on to say top Democrat presidential prospects like Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker and Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom, or Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson, could hypothetically deem guns a “crisis” and issue firearm confiscation orders.
“You listen to the mayor of Chicago talk about the gun crisis in America. Well, what is to stop—given the precedent that Donald Trump is setting—what is to stop a Democrat, a Gov. Pritzker, a Gov. Newsom, from saying, ‘We have a gun crisis in America, just as legitimate on the facts and arguments as a crime crisis, and we’re going to send the National Guard into states to go get their guns?’ There have to be standards here.”
What’s to stop them? Umm, I don’t know, maybe a little something called the Second Amendment?
The panelist’s slippery slope was clearly intended to stoke fear in conservatives by claiming Trump’s policies endanger their guns, but the false equivalence doesn’t square with the Constitution, and apparently he’d rather tolerate crime than safer cities.
