Beto O’Rourke: If You Don’t Hand over Your AR-15 We’ll Take It
Breitbart ^ | 10/16/19 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 10/16/2019 6:58:42 AM PDT by Enlightened1

During the October 15, Democrat debate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke made clear that AR-15 owners who refuse to hand over their guns will have them taken away.

O’Rourke reiterated his plan to use a government-mandated buyback to confiscate privately-owned AR-15s and AK-47s. In so doing, he claimed that each AR-15 and AK-47 in private hands is a “potential instrument of terror.”

CNN’s Anderson Cooper then asked O’Rourke how he plans to get people to hand over their rifles.

 

O’Rourke responded by explaining that he expects complains with the mandatory buybacks. He said, “I expect my fellow Americans to follow the law. The same way we enforce any provision, any law that we have right now, we don’t go door to door to do anything to enforce the law. I expect Republicans, Democrats, gun owners, non-gun owners alike, to follow the law.”

Cooper then followed up by asking what O’Rourke plans to do if Americans do not comply.

O’Rourke said, “If someone does not turn an AR-15 or an AK-47, one of these weapons of war, or brings it out in public and brandishes it, in an attempt to intimidate…then that weapon will be taken from them. If they persist, there will be other consequences from law enforcement.”

His 15 minutes expired a long time ago. He’s the only one that hasn’t realized it yet.

Elian today, in Cuba. I'm not sure he feels the same way we do when looking at that event.

This article is behind an bit. I believe it was either yesterday or this morning that Beto said if people don’t turn them over then police will come to their homes to confiscate the firearms.

When somebody directly threatens to murder 20 million people to get his way, I take him seriously. Kamala Harris and Eric Swalwell have made the same threats. This indicates that the plan is already in place - these stooges are tasked with finding some legal way to get there. If they can’t, I suppose the plan will eventually proceed in some extra-legal manner.

I thought about selling my gun “back” to the government but after doing a comprehensive background check found they were irresponsible with an unstable history given to fits of irrationality.

“Buyback” is another lazy misleading trope like “whistleblower.” You can’t buy back something you didn’t own in the first place.

Too bad we don’t have any professional journalists who could point this out.

actually Ayers was talking about 20 million back in the seventies. I imagine their target kill number is closer to 100 million today.

On that note, can anyone recommend to me a good AR15 and a good place to buy it?

Yes. He said they will "visit."

"Land sakes, dear. Whose that in those black outfits?"

"Just get away from the window, honey. I'm fully loaded."

Well, good ... is that now an official Democrat position that all Americans should follow the law pertaining to immigration, to not hide or support illegal aliens?

Irish 'Side Show' Bob is merely a clown. Bill Ayers was/is a much more representative second amendment poster boy.

Yes. They have to pass 62,979,636 Trump voters from 2016 and then keep going.

Imagine it actually happened that the total waste of Earth's oxygen Ayers became a "revered" Chicago college professor with tenure!
