Conservative Byte.comDemocrat on Semi-Automatics: ‘I Think We Need to Start Taking Them’

A Democratic state lawmaker in Iowa told an Iowa newspaper he not only
wants semi-automatic weapons banned in his state, he would like to see
the weapons confiscated from anyone in Iowa who has already bought
them.
“We cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out
here, the semi-automatics and all of them,” Rep. Dan Muhlbauer
(D-Manilla) told the Carroll (Iowa) Daily Times-Herald. “We can’t have
those running around out here. Those are not hunting weapons. We should
ban those in Iowa.”
Staff writer Douglas Burns reported that Muhlbauer supports a
statewide ban and a voluntary buy-back plan, “but he would go further if
needed” — and that “the state of Iowa should take semi-automatic
weapons away from Iowans who have legally purchased them prior to any
ban that is enacted if they don’t give their weapons up in a buy-back
program.”
“Even if you have them, I think we need to start taking them,”
Muhlbauer was quoted as saying. “We can’t have those out there. Because
if they’re out there they’re just going to get circulated around to the
wrong people. Those guns should not be in the public’s hands. There
are just too many guns.”
Presumably, Muhlbauer’s confiscation idea — if ever adopted –would
include the semi-automatic weapon owned by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa).
