Hillary-Supporting Civics Teacher to Beto: How Will You Skirt SCOTUS on Mandatory Buybacks?

I have a question: Where are you going to find the suicidal idiots to raid people's houses to confiscate the guns?

“Where are you going to find the suicidal idiots to raid people’s houses to confiscate the guns?”

The “Bikers at Waco got what they deserved” posse members come to mind.

[Drango]

Beto, are you PERSONALLY gonna confiscate the guns? Please knock first.

[Yo-Yo]

"And so it would seem as though the courts would probably rule against something banning the AK-47, the AR-15s. And a mandatory buyback program would seem to be deemed unconstitutional, and as late as 2016, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals also included assault rifles to be part of the arms that are protected by the Second Amendment. So how would you be able to get around that?"

Trouble is, SCOTUS has declined to hear appeals of Assault Weapon Bans in Maryland and Illinois, so we don't really know if the Supreme Court would strike down an AR and AK ban.

[Cobra64]

Who are these idiots referring to “buyback”? It’s search and seizure. People gonna get Pb hurt.

[Chainmail]

Ah Beeto - what would you know about “weapons of war”? It seems that Beeto (who names anyone after a root vegetable?) never graced a uniform in his inauspicious life and the closest he has been to war was maybe watching MASH reruns.

[BenLurkin]

Odd kind of civics.

[Still Thinking]

"Is the question 'should we not pursue public policy or legislation for fear of the current composition of the courts?' My answer to that is 'no.' Do the right thing while you have time to do the right thing," O'Rourke replied.

So, after translation from LyingSackEse, he means "We can pass whatever we damn well please if we have the votes. If it makes it to SCOTUS in 10 years and I haven't replaced two or three justices, we'll pull out Roberts' blackmail material. If even that fails, we'll just have press conferences trying not to cry about the carnage, and use it for a campaign issue, while continuing to pass more laws that wouldn't pass muster with the ruling."

[House Atreides]

RUN, HILLARY, RUN! Destiny calls.

“who names anyone after a root vegetable?”

I believe he named himself “Beto” since he identifies as ‘Hispanic’.

[ssaftler]

I believe he named himself “Beto” since he identifies as ‘Hispanic’.

He could "identify" as a rutabaga, he's still a white-as-a-ghost Irish dude.

[Chainmail]

It’s a joke.. I know his backstory.

[GOPJ]

It’s only a ‘buyback’ if the government sold you the gun in the first place and now wants to buy it back.

If they didn’t sell it AND they take it - it’s nothing but common confiscation...

[SuperLuminal]

"I have a question: Where are you going to find the suicidal idiots to raid people's houses to confiscate the guns?"

Better yet... Who is going to be guarding the homes & families of the "suicidal idiots" while the "idiots" are raiding American people's houses to confiscate the guns?

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Beto O’Rourke is just a fool. He’ll never get elected, even to the House or the Senate anymore. There is no fear of him being able to use taxpayer money to achieve his assinine buyback scheme. He is just blowing wind. Ignore him.

Don't get too complacent about it being impossible. They don't need to come to your house. They can mess up your life from a computer terminal in DC.

If they have records, they will just assess you money, and garnish your salary and freeze your bank accounts, until you are either surrender the guns on their list, or you are able to satisfactorily convince them why you don't have them.

[marktwain]

Beto simply lies. He incorrectly states the U.S. loses 40,000 a year to gun violence a year, and no other nation comes close. First "gun violence" is an Orwellian propaganda term that conflated suicide, homicide, and accidents. Of the 40,000 only about 14,000 are homicides, and a couple thousand of those are justified homicides. Brazil has more than 40,000 homicides, alone, with guns a year.

Numerous other countries have a higher "gun death" rate than the U.S.

As someone else said “I was going to sell my weapons back to the guberment but they could not pass a background check.”
