Beto O’Rourke: If You Don’t Hand over Your AR-15 We’ll Take It

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.”

He said, “I expect my fellow Americans to follow the law.

Yeah Beto, we have laws right now that say you can’t go kill people. Do you expect the people who don’t follow that law to follow your new law????

Hope he comes hungry!

Beto O’Rourke: If You Don’t Hand over Your AR-15 We’ll Take It

Don't you worry, Butto.

I won't wait for your people to come get it.

I'll proactively deliver it to your people.

[BuffaloJack]

You will never get any Marine or Special Ops guy to ever hand over their personal firearms. It’s just a mindset thing. You’d have to kill them first.

[A_Former_Democrat]

Spot on, Bro

[SaxxonWoods]

If an AR-15 is a “weapon of war” how come no one in our military carries one?

[jjotto]

Kill them first?

No doubt that is exactly the plan!

[Lazamataz]

If an AR-15 is a “weapon of war” how come no one in our military carries one?

I think Butto is talking about the upcoming American Civil War II.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Beta Boy will get the same compliance we get from fraudulently documented foreigners with immigration laws.

[SaxxonWoods]

Got it.

But Beto has been after the AR specifically and says Americans don’t “need weapons of war” when he speaks about it.

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

I think little Bobby still harbors resentment over being denied something. His gun rights, possibly. Maybe his parents took away his video games at some point, and this is his way of acting out.

[centermass_socrates]

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

there are still a bunch of Fast and Furious guns floating around in Mexico and the southern US that the ATF lost track of ... :)

[BigEdLB]

Someone ought to visit Robert Francis and remove him to an asylum

[shanover]

God forbid SHTF,this Beto POS better hide very well or just off himself. In any case Saddam was found in a dirty hole as will Beto and he and his ilk will swing just the same.

[Hazwaste]

I’m stealing this. Perfect response.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

This is why they favor the China model of surveillance. Social Credit Score systems and cameras everywhere you go.
The only way to prevent that from ever happening here is an EMP.

I believe it’s coming regardless.

[HotHunt]

There is no gun registry. Beto was asked that last night on stage. "How will you know who even has these guns to confiscate?"

Besides, this poorly thought out plan is impossible to carry out.

There are not enough law enforcement personnel in the US to even begin to go door-to-door to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizens. Million of guns and not enough cops.

Stupid idea from a stupid candidate.

Dork. Go eat some more dirt.

[Taxman]

Let this be fair warning to ALL AMERICANS!

What happens when LIEberals are elected to public office?

LIEberals LIE TO, CHEAT AND STEAL FROM the Citizenry!

LIEberals routinely violate the law and ignore the US Constitution!

LIEberals WILL take your guns!

TAXMAN: “A vote for ANY LIEberal, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!”

POTUS: “A vote for any Democrat in 2020 is a vote for the rise of radical socialism and the destruction of the American dream!”

TAXMAN: “America cannot survive a LIEberal victory in 2020!”

[HotHunt]

Beto's response during the debate last night was (paraphrasing) that he believed in the American people and that they would voluntarily proffer their AR-15s and AK-47s without needing the government or law enforcement to go door-to-door to confiscate them.

Even if he knew who all of the gun owners were, which he doesn't because there is not gun registry, there are not enough law enforcement personnel in the nation to come close to carrying out this bizarre plan of his. An bad idea not well thought out.

Yeah, that's the ticket, Beto. Law-abiding gun owners will just give up their 2nd Amendment rights voluntarily.

I don't think so.
