Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke torn into rival Mayor Pete Buttigieg for not supporting his plan to have mandatory buybacks of AR-15s and AK-47s.
O'Rourke jabbed Buttigieg after participating in the "2020 Presidential Gun Safety Forum" on Wednesday, saying the South Bend, Ind. mayor was solely focused on running his campaign based on polls, focus groups, and consultants.
"What Pete has been saying is that a mandatory buyback is 'the shiny object that is distracting us.' How in the world can you say that? To March For Our Lives. How can you say that to survivors of mass shootings across this country?" Beto said to reporters.
"So I was really offended by those comments and I think he represents a kind of politics that is focused on poll testing and focus group driving and triangulating and listening to consultants before you arrive at a position. I think our politics has to be about doing the right thing," he continued.

Kudos to Buttigieg for not (yet ) using the “H” word in response ( Yes, “H”, not “R” )

Two rules for life:
1. Do not be unnecessarily offensive. Save offensive behavior for strategic purposes, and use sparingly.
2. Do not be too easily offended. Sometimes you are not the target, and you only get set up to be the next target.
Meeeee-ooowwwwwwww! Who’s gonna get in the first slap?
Thus the bunny ref.
Stop the presses. Fake Hispanic candidate at 3% is offended.
Someone needs to change Beto’s diaper.

How can you buy back something you never owned?
As the Japanese Admiral Yamamoto once infamously said “You cannot invade the mainland United States. There would be a man with a rifle behind every blade of grass.”
Whaddya call a guy with no arms and no legs in your swimming pool, Bob?

“Hell Yeah, We’re Gonna to Take Your AR-15”
Who is “we” you weak-kneed, unchallenged, unipartarian, anti-American, Stalinist POS?
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love FREEDOM enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn ,

Hmmmm. Have we gotten to the point of ‘there is a nongender specific entity cowering behind every blade of grass’? On a lot of the coast line perhaps. But, there are still plenty of good ol boys our here.
