Beto demands banks, credit card companies 'cut off' firearms sales to law-abiding citizens
The Washington Times ^ | 9/12/2019 | Douglas Ernst

Presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke says a dearth of new gun control laws is no excuse for inaction by banks and credit card companies.

The Democrat took to Twitter on Thursday to blast financial institutions for not acting in the absence of legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by President Trump.

“Credit cards have enabled many of America’s mass shootings in the last decade — and with Washington unwilling to act, they need to cut off the sales of weapons of war today,” he began a series of tweets. “Banks and credit card companies must: 1. Refuse to take part in the sale of assault weapons. 2. Stop processing transactions for gun sales online & at gun shows without background checks. 3. Stop doing business with gun & ammo manufacturers who produce or sell assault weapons.”

The former Texas congressman’s commentary, which included an online petition, did not define “assault weapons” and appeared to use it in reference to cosmetic features on rifles.

Semi-automatic weapons are available to civilians while fully automatic weapons are reserved for military personnel.

Why do his stories all start with “Beto demands”? Does he think he is running for King? He obviously doesn't understand either modern day banking or the business culture of this country. He talks like an infant...

I dont see how any democrat gets anything done legally after the eight years of Trump precedents the democrats have set for obstructing the executive office.

I could see a number of banks caving to this. Corporate America is frequently a willing plaything of the liberals.

To say nothing of depriving citizens of exercising their rights, both constitutional and civil, and in lawful commerce.

Technically speaking, what he’s doing is a huge felony.

He is a nut. He is desperate.

However, do not underestimate Leftist desperate nutjobs ability to influence the gutless pantie-waists on corporate Boards of Directors.

The only people who cave faster than RINO’s to the unhinged rants of Leftists are, Boards of Directors.

Next step is they’re going to get comapnies to demand giving up possession of firearms as a condition for employment.

It's their next step.

Tucker Carlson said it last night, within two years this stance will be mandatory for all national level Democrat Candidates.

Classic arrested development and infantilism. Also his peculiar scatological history, sexual fantasies, and history of alcohol abuse clearly indicate one severely messed up individual.

".... Look at me! Validate me!” This nut is desperate...."

Of course, he's desperate. He's polling between 1-2%. Loser.

So why are we validating him by posting this crap and talking about it?

I say just ignore the dork.
