Beto O'Rourke won't back down on AR-15 buy back, says Democrats should stop playing defense

PLANO — Beto O'Rourke on Sunday said Democrats should be bolder in their approach to issues related to gun control, immigration, criminal justice and climate change.

"I'm a lifelong Democrat," O'Rourke told about 300 people outside of Artcentre of Plano. "For too long Democrats have played defense ... but just like Lucy with the football, every single time that we put our best foot forward and move forward in the spirit of consensus and comprise and start in that middle position, we lose it."

O'Rourke called for a different, less compromising approach, noting that attempts at consensus building have led Democrats to vote on hundreds of miles of border fencing, mass deportations that break up families and a mass incarceration of minorities.

The thing NOBODY seems to be mentioning is that Beto said “He’ll yes I am coming for your AR15’s and AK 47’s ....and weapons designed for the battle field”. Think bolt action 30-06, 45 APC, 9mm, most revolvers, most lever action carbines, along with an assortment of knives etc. There are a lot of guns he is coming for!

IOy vey, how disgusting. I read a book long ago, I think by Larry McMurtry, in which guys out in the dessert with no women within 500 miles were inserting their bleeps into automobile gas tanks, holes in the ground, knotholes on trees...whatever. Didn’t associate it with gay guys then, but now...you bet I do.

Someone please get Beatoff a platinum gas tank filler hole. He’ll be too busy to confiscate anything.

As another FReeper pointed out, Beto is using a very Trumpian technique here: Being outrageous to get attention. Falls under the any publicity is good publicity game plan. Beto is throwing bombs because he is at 1% in the polls. He can’t really go any lower. Ha ha.

Yep! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT!

I double-dog DARE the Demonrats to pass a bill in the House that mobilizes every single armed Federal department (and there are a LOT!) to go into the state into which they are based, get 4473's from gun stores, and start invading homes to take AR-15's and AK-47's.

Trump ain't dumb enough to sign it, but if he did, that's one way to ensure a RADICAL reduction in the Federal workforce.

Any “buy back” is an UNCONSTITUTIONAL taking. I won’t obey it. DEATH FIRST.

Hey Beto,

Do you really think that troops in battle want an AR-15? Oh - you think “AR” stands for Assault Rifle instead of Armalite? And that all you have to do is keep your finger on the trigger to shoot every bullet loaded in the rifle? Um...okay.

Sorry, Beto, you are too dumb to be CIC, and any troop to which you hand an AR-15 would look at you as if you were insane (which, being a Lib/Dem, you are).

What would the government do with them?

The government can’t ‘buy them back’ if they never sold the guns to you in the first place.

What they’re really saying is when they confiscate your guns they give you some money. If you don’t accept the money they’ll take your guns without paying you.

***Democrats should stop playing defense ***

Dems have never been on the defensive on gun control. Since 1962 it has been “PUSH, PUSH PUSH!” on gun control.

Grab what you can, then demand more!

“Beto O’Rourke won’t back down on AR-15 buy back, says Democrats should stop playing defense”

naturally, the other Dem clowns will feel compelled to one up Beto on gun confiscation, which is the beauty of having so many weak, brainless clowns running: by the time one of the clowns “wins” the nomination, they will either have already adopted all of the most extreme positions of the other clowns, or will ultimately be compelled to adopt them to avoid having to attack them as bad ideas ...
