Pete Buttigieg: Gun Control ‘Compatible with the Second Amendment’
Breitbart ^ | 21 April 2019 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 04/21/2019 9:05:00 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Democrat presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg used a question and answer session during an Iowa speech to claim numerous gun controls he supports are “completely compatible with the Second Amendment.” C-Span published the question and answer session, wherein an audience member stood and read aloud a question centered on school shootings. The questioner identified himself as a millennial, “a hunter,” and “a responsible gun owner.” He asked what “policies and measures [Buttigieg] would take to ensure responsible gun laws.” Buttigieg replied:

Like you, I come from a place where gun rights are taken very seriously, and that’s okay. The reality is, that the gun safety measures we’re calling for are completely compatible with the Second Amendment and, by the way, are widely popular.

Buttigieg then listed gun controls he supports. Those include criminalizing private gun sales via universal background checks and implementing policies pushed by Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns, a gun control group of which Buttigieg is a member.

He also used the Obama-era moniker of “weapons of war” to describe certain commonly owned semiautomatic rifles and said, “There are some weapons that don’t belong in our neighborhoods in peacetime in America.” He suggested we already know that banning such firearms is compatible with the Second Amendment; that “we’ve already decided that somewhere between a sling shot and a nuclear weapon we can draw a line.”

Buttigieg has also voiced support for other gun controls. On April 20, 2019, Breitbart News reported that one of those additional controls is reinstating the Social Security gun ban.

Thin Air is as good a place as any for Democrats.

“There are some weapons that don’t belong in our neighborhoods in peacetime in America.”

So how do we get some when it is Not Peacetime? If I had one it would be in reserve for such a time.

“we’ve already decided that somewhere between a sling shot and a nuclear weapon we can draw a line.”

So ‘arms’ are not just guns! Knives, hammers, pitchforks, too?

And a nuke is an arm? To keep and bear?

Fringe is the fur on your ‘furry’ suit.

Infringe is getting into the fringe.

Homosexuality is not compatible with marriage or procreation.

Gun control is compatible with the Second Amendment like speech control is compatible with the First. Makes perfect sense.

Also these dusted off golden oldies:

War is peace

Freedom is slavery

Ignorance is strength

Pete, I guess it’s ok to assume that journalist control is compatible with the 1st amendment? Is common sense control of a religion (such as Islam) OK as well? Just asking

I’m kind of confused. I had a comment removed on another thread about this gay man and it was not near as explicit as some of the comments on this thread. Sometimes the rules around here don’t make sense.
