Beto: We Shouldn’t Be Selling ARs in this Country

The Truth About Guns ^ | 10/08/18 | Dan Zimmerman

Just an election season reminder this was said:

“I think banning bump stocks makes a lot of sense. I don’t know that we should raise the age for buying an AR-15 I just don’t think we should be selling AR-15s in this country.

“That weapon was designed for one purpose and one purpose only, to kill people as effectively and as efficiently as possible on the battlefield.” – Senate candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke in an interview with CBS News

No ARs?
Obama gave thousands to the IRS.

I guess the rats were hoping for a short war.

[Ancesthntr]

Damn, but that looks like a great testing ground for the latest in thermobaric weaponry. Or, alternatively, if those are a bit too new to be just testing them for fun, we could get rid of excess stocks of obsolete cluster munitions and give our air-to-ground guys some useful experience.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Beto’s a moron. The full-auto equivalent, the M-16, is what was used on the battlefield. I don’t know if it’s still used, because I’ve read that it is awfully jam-y.

Robert, do you know what an AR is? An AR does NOT mean Assault Rifle...

“We didn’t give ourselves the right to bear arms to protect us from deer! We did it to protect us from tyrants! “

You know, I’m a little bit fuzzy on my History, but I don’t have any recollection of Paul Revere riding around one night warning people that, “The Deer are coming, the Deer are coming! I mean, maybe if he had a whole bunch of beers with Kavanaugh’s great, great, great, great, great grandfather, after molesting some 15-year-olds and throwing a bunch of ice - just before deer season...but I just don’t recall that from my school days.

Little help - anyone remember that?

[Ancesthntr]

“Where did you get that? I want one!”

One? ONE???

How about 50, a box of nails and a hammer? Fill up those telephone poles!

[Ancesthntr]

“Robert, do you know what an AR is? An AR does NOT mean Assault Rifle...”

Actually, the rifle was prophetically named just for Beto, errrrr, Beta. It took him 15 times to get it right, but finally Mr. Stoner produced the perfect rifle...

...the Asshole Remover-15.

Now you know the truth. :>)

[Dick Vomer]

and that’s all she wrote....... yep. Banning AR-15s is the winning strategy that someone in his organization came up with.

Thank you for participating, here’s your loser/participation ribbon.... now STFU.

And of course, they are in proglib infested Austin Texas."

 

I wonder what would be the most satisfying solution for that situation. A couple pineapple grenades.. or a minigun. What do you guys think? (I like minigun myself)

 

[motor_racer]

So were the broadsword and the mace. How far do we go?

[ZULU]

Yes, Beto, they should be selling AR-15s in America and conservatives should be buying them - as many as possible to protect themselves,their homes, their families from Antifa, MS-13, Islamists, illegal aliens, gangbangers, and all the other assorted lunatics your Communist
Political party chooses to inflict on us.

If the police need full auto. WE need full auto.

According to Title 10 of Federal Law, civilians are *those persons not under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or subject to the UCMJ.* Accordingly the police, despite what they frequently like to clame, are civilians like most everyone else not on active duty in the military. Accordingly, ban AR-15s or full-auto M16s for *civilians,* and they're banned for the civilian police as well.

That weapon was designed for one purpose and one purpose only, to kill people as effectively and as efficiently as possible on the battlefield.”

If I tried to donate my AR15 to the Army it would be rejected because it is functionally inferior to what the Army uses and is NOT a weapon of war.

Facts matter.
