I begin by saying we expect our fellow Americans to follow the law.”

But it’s ok for illegal aliens to break the law.

"An addendum that will get me flamed and perhaps banned. But think about this. If Trump can Direct ATF to change the legal definition of an accessory without scientific basis or action by congress, as is the case with the Bump-Stock Ban. Then all Butt-O has to do as Pres. is make a similar demand to ATF and all semi-autos become machine-guns! ATF has been Enforcing the MG laws for decades. We might want to remember what happened to several Americans leading up to the FOPA-86. Hint, yes, people WERE shot in their beds by ATF goons! "
Agree 100 percent. People do not realize how dangerous this bumpstock ban truly is. I have said before we are now at the point where a toaster over could be defined as a machine gun so it would be quit easy now as you say to define any semi a machine gun. If the text of our laws are fluid as this clearly has set in precedent then the laws say whatever the government wants them to say.
What is this ATF incident you refer? I'm familiar with a lot of these but not sure what you are talking about. When and where did it happen?

Sounds like he’s chickening out of taking them by force.

ORourke did not mention that rifles are not a statistically significant contributor to overall gun deaths in the U.S. This will never not irk me.

Why do Democrats barely talk about handguns despite how many annual deaths and injuries involve them in the United States, especially when compared to their obsession, AR-15s?
Oh, right, the politics of it, that over 70% of Americans oppose a ban on handguns. So Democrats don't really care about gun-related homicides/suicides, just politics.

"What he really means is that he will use guns to compel compliance with the AR-15 ban."
Yup! I think that came through loud and clear. Of course now he is trying to back peddle but I don't think it's going to work. There is just one video clip after another on the net of him saying "hell yes, we are going to take your AR15s and AK's". He did not say anything about fining people.
He stepped in it big time with this statement.

Didn’t Beto’s Woodberry School teach the meaning of the word, “infringed”?

To: Andy from Chapel Hill
I think the whole criticism over Beto's real childhood nickname is rather silly. Even more so since we have Raphael Eduardo Cruz, a Canadian-Cuban, who insists on an American name. I guess it shows hypocrisy in its finest to criticize one while ignoring or accepting the other. Many people have nicknames from childhood, nothing wrong with that. The real problem with Beto is his call to forcefully seize our firearms. Now, I see Harris repeating it. Both are out-of-touch with our European roots, our constitution, and setting their Democrat party up for big fail.
Democrat party: Seize firearms, disarm Americans, open our borders, give away our resources to illegals, embrace socialism. They are established anti-first amendment, anti-second amendment, and more. I don't suspect it will be hard to get them anti-fourth with questions about searching for firearms. Red flag laws already infringe upon several. The whole bill of rights and our constitution are at risk from Democrats. Engaged Americans can see this, will our disengaged Americans see it?

1971, pre-internet.
Not the only incident but one I always remember.
This is the sort of action that got the FOPA-86 introduced and eventually passed.
First link I found, https://www.boogieonline.com/revolution/firearms/enforce/ballew.html
I have read much better detailed accounts in the past.
With the name and date I expect details may be available.
If Butt-O gets his way this is the sort of tragedy that will become common again.

He did specify he expects Americans to follow the law, not illegal aliens.

I would argue that part of the reason is handgun crimes are overwhelmingly committed by Democrat constituents.

If this ever came to reality the Coast Guard would be run ragged over all the boating accidents. Their ships would run aground on all the accidentally lost firearms, outside the current 12-mile offshore limits.
