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.

Bobby can stick his demands where the sun don’t shine.

People are better off keeping their money in a mattress what with the fees banks charge these days.

The dimrat voters will do that for you.

Bobby is why we used to beat up nerds like him.

re: “Why do his stories all start with “Beto demands”?”

Hold over from when he was called “Psychedelic Warlord” as a member of the Cult of the Dead Cow?

They will be all too eager to comply.

Letting his inner totalitarian out. Let the hate flow through you, Beato.

Beto is going to go all out honest on what his party wants to do to us. He has nothing to lose now.

Sing Beto Sing. Please.

You know darn well that goofball didn't come up with all that by himself - he's quoting from a playbook of long range goals. Like it's been said, there's probably a number of functionaries who would love to strangle him right now.

"Don’t put it past them to penalize gun owners."

How are they gonna know?? You can test for nicotine in blood and/or urine. Don't think there is a comparable test for smokeless powder.
