In an interview at SXSW last month, US Senate hopeful Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke kicked off his campaign by doing something most Texas Democrats have been loath to do: line out his opposition to the Second Amendment and advocate that Texans should be prohibited from purchasing the most popular firearm in the United States. “There is no reason an AR-15, a weapon of war designed for the sole purpose of taking lives as effectively and as efficiently and [in] as great a number as possible should be sold to civilians to be used in our schools, in our churches, in our concerts, in public life in this country,” said O’Rourke. “I have no idea how that polls, and I could give a s*** what the NRA thinks about it because it’s the right thing to do,” he added. Though O’Rourke’s campaign has publicly eschewed polling and consultants, someone must have told him how much of a loser his position is with Texas voters. And recently he’s begun obfuscating his position on the issue.
On Monday, O’Rourke told Chad Hasty of Lubbock’s KFYO that if Texans owned an AR-15 they should be allowed to keep it. “We support the Second Amendment, if you own a gun keep that gun. No one wants to take it away from you, at least I don’t,” said O’Rourke. Sounds awfully familiar doesn’t it? It should.

If we actually had a independent objective press they would school him on all the wrong shiite he stated.
“I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence …
I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy.” - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778

and I could give a s*** what the NRA thinks about it...
If he COULD give a s..., then that means he cares.
Can’t even get that right.
Papa in law must be dying.
Precisely as Nelson “Pete” Shields said he would confiscate handguns.
From 1976.

“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”
-Pete Shields, Chairman emeritus, Handgun Control, Inc., 60 Minutes interview
HCI, now THE BRADY CENTER, around 1984, made a grab for the semi-auto rifles and shotguns, and missed! They showed their hand. But now gun owners know they are up against a stacked deck.
If they get a ban on semi-auto rifles rest assured they will be back for the handguns, and anything else they suddenly want to ban.
Commies and leftists and Dems 2019 vintage lie like a rug.....and be aware they want and will steal our freedoms.
With his need to run for the presidency and his now wanting to disarm “the people”, I wonder which cartel group is either giving money or blackmailing him.
When anyone starts the “There is no reason anyone should own an assault rifle” argument, I give the ‘T’ hand signal for “time out”. Then say, “Yes there is... To kill politicians...when they become tyrants...their standing armies...(then I lean in close)... And their supporters”. Freaks ‘em out every time. “I finish with “Make no mistake, I will kill you when you come for my guns, are you willing to die trying?”
Gee, that’s nice. Texans can keep their AR-15’s...but what about Oklahomans, Louisianians, Mississippians, New Yorkers.....???????????

And I won’t -— in your mouth. Faggot.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, we can deal with the Democratic party agenda.
