During recent remarks captured on video, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) discussed her support for a national firearms registry and a federal buyback program. In the clip, Omar said:
“We have more guns in this country than we have humans. So one of the things that is going to be important is to create a registry so we know where the guns are. We know when they go into the wrong hands when they’re stolen. And we can actually start a buyback program. I know that some of the Minnesota legislators have had that legislation and that’s something that we should be thinking about on a federal level.” — Rep. Ilhan Omar
Her comments echo long-running proposals among some lawmakers who believe a federal registry would help track firearm ownership and identify stolen guns. A nationwide buyback program has also been floated in the past, typically framed as a voluntary effort to reduce the number of privately owned firearms.
Gun owners and Second Amendment advocates have consistently expressed concerns about registry efforts, warning that centralized lists of firearm owners raise major privacy and civil liberties issues. Many also note that previous federal proposals faced significant constitutional challenges.
Omar’s remarks are already fueling new debate about federal gun policy, especially when it comes to national registries and large-scale buyback programs. Her comments have drawn strong reactions from both sides of the gun-rights discussion, and many gun owners see this as a sign of where future legislative efforts may be headed.
Someone need to push for this “thing’s” deportation, I think.
Deportation of this cumbucket should incorporate being dropped back into Somalia from 3000′ with an umbrella for a parachute. Those who voted for “it” should be similarly outfitted and hooked in tandem. (How does one say, “Geronimo!” in Somali? Guess we’d find out!)

Any politician or policy maker that even hints or suggests unconstitutional laws, policies, edicts etc. Is a threat to our Constitutional Republic, unfit for public office and should be arrested and thrown in federal prison. In her case, deported out of the country immediately!
Be very afraid when people who hate America want to take away Americans gun rights.
Yeah right. And her home country…the country she really cares about more than America, is a mess of Islamist terrorism and is rated as the number one failed country in the world. Send her back there where she belongs.
Then we will see how quickly she tries to get out of there.
Can anyone answer this question please? Why do all these democrat politicians insist on doing a “government buyback” of our firearms?? Whereas, I never bought any of my firearms from the government, so how can the government buy them back from me? Ilhan Omar needs to be removed from office and deported back to Somalia, and leave our firearms alone!
Personally, I think these aliens need to be arrested and removed from this country. Ilhan and those like her are trying to remake America into images of their home countries, with the same laws and restrictions as in their native nations. If they don’t like this country, there is no law that says they must remain here…they are welcome to return to their native lands whenever they want. Personally, I love America and the freedoms we enjoy, including the right to own and possess firearms.
Why do we allow foreigners in Federal Government? There should be a law….
