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.

It was good of him to pick up the gun control thing after “Nuke” Swalwell dropped out of the race.
and we will sue any bank that refuses to conduct or process our lawful business
and sue them big time too
If red flag laws are ever passed, the first person they should be used on is this raving lunatic.
I’m on a new job and they are penalizing smokers on health insurance offerings. Don’t put it past them to penalize gun owners.
Keep it up! The more that Democrats go off the deep end on the 2nd amendment, the more likely that the Supreme Court is going to clear the tables and reset everyone on the national reach of the 2nd amendment, throwing out all of the laws that infringe upon it.
lol
What a d... :)
Would they finally rebrand as a Communist Party?
As a Texican, “Pretty Bobbi” is now seen in Texas as “a fool in the public view” & “an EMBARRASSMENT”.
(He is now as big of “a public joke” as Wendy Davis is.)
His career “in public service”, such as it was, is OVER in his home state.= He couldn’t win “dogcatcher” here, now.

This is why we must never be a cashless society. By the way, if you do not use cash now, you should. Just like every right in the constitution, if you do not exercise the use of cash, you may end up losing it. I use cash for a significant number of my transactions and I recommend you do the same.

Yeah, that was my first thought, too.
“Beto demands . . .” Is hilarious when you think about how much time dems spend screeching about President Trump being a dictator.
BEETOFF’S IDEA IS STRAIGHT OUT OF CARVILLE’S MOUTH.
How does the credit card company know what you are purchasing?
Beto is STUPID.
Just another one percenter...in more ways than one. Stuck maxing at 1% of the vote and came from a wealthy 1% family having a spoiled rotten childhood.
Exactly and to the point. Even if a CC company didn’t want its cards used for purchases of firearms, they wouldn’t know if someone got a cash advance to do so. Beto MUST be THAT STUPID!
Now you begin to understand the real design behind the 2008 financial crisis and subsequent bank regulation....
“You’re a child, Robert Francis”
Shut up Bettle,
You’re an Idiot!
1. Hey Beto, Why would Banks and Credit Card Companies listen to you. A KNOWN Criminal and Braindead Fool. 2. They will not listen to your dribble, Beto, because no matter how you feel about Banks and Credit Card Companies. They follow the law and would loose BILLIONS in following your stupidity.
