Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) told people at a rally on Nov. 11 that forcing Americans to give up legally purchased firearms is against the U.S. Constitution.
“A mandatory buyback is essentially confiscation, which I think is unconstitutional. It means that I’m going to walk into your house and take something whether you like it or not. I don’t think that stands up to constitutional scrutiny,” Sanders, 78, one of the leading Democratic presidential contenders, said during the Iowa rally.
