Biden, Buttigieg say no compromises on overhauling gun laws
Associated Press ^ | September 2, 2019 | Thomas Beaumont and Bill Barrow

Democratic presidential candidates Joe Biden and Pete Buttigieg, moderates who project themselves as pragmatic collaborators, are taking a no-compromise approach on the overhaul of the nation’s gun laws after the latest mass shooting.

Campaigning separately in eastern Iowa on Monday, the former vice president and the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, say the minimum provisions include universal background checks, a ban on military-style weapons and high-capacity ammunition, and red flag laws to allow officials to confiscate firearms from dangerous people.

Biden told reporters before a Labor Day picnic in Cedar Rapids that inaction from President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans is “disgraceful.” Asked if there’s room for negotiation, he declared: “None. This is one we have to just push and push and push and push and push.” Buttigieg also rejected compromise, saying after a campaign event in Cedar Rapids: “There is just no good faith in the congressional GOP nor, I believe, in the White House when it comes to dealing with this issue.” […]

“Look, you can either defy the American people or you can defy the NRA,” Buttigieg said. “You have a choice.” […]

Biden’s and Buttigieg’s positions represent a rare case of absolutism from the two men. Despite their generational divide, at ages 76 and 37, both have staked their campaigns in part on calls for a more civil, productive governing process in Washington. …

Read my lips...Democrat Party dummies....the American people & voters know and realize this insanity of mass slaughter of innocents does not come from guns...it comes from mental illness, criminals, illegals, thugs, human traffic dregs, terrorists, America haters, Jew/Israel haters, Christian haters, weak laws that easily allow these nutcase to float around free to do their hateful dirty. a vote cast for a Biden or O’Rourke is to destroy your nation free Republic!!!

I can assure you all the restrictive gun legislation the in the world will not curtail or halt these evil, insane slaughter of American innocents. Just take a look at California, Illinois, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia San Francisco, New York City, Cleveland, El Paso, Parkland, High School, Odessa, Midland, Black on Black wholesale murder, everyday, every weekend!!!

Thanks...Democrat Party, Obama, Biden, all Democrats...the blood runs unending from your filthy, scum & vermin hands..period!!!

Americans who own AR-15s and AK-47s will have to sell their assault weapons. All of them.


Which of the enumerated powers granted to Congress in Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power to do this? Just askin’...

Asking communists to be honest is like asking their spiritual father whose existence they deny (the devil) to be honest too.

Biden has been there for over 50 years..."Elect me and I will fix things."

Buttplug is a failed mayor in a small city..."Elect me and I will fix things."

Better take inventory of your guns. Which the government knows you have and which are not in a government data base.

The government knows I have three CMP rifles, all between 101 and 75 years old.
I can see a raid on my house...”We’ve come to take your CMP guns! You are on blood thinners and they might bruise your arm when you shoot them and cause a blood clot to kill you! It is for your own good!”

Somebody should tell these schlamiels there are faster ways to commit political suicide, but none more effective than messing with America’s guns.

So Mayor Butthead has allowed South Bend, Indiana to turn into the wild west with shutouts almost every night. And He’s going to tell the rest of the country how to control guns???

high-capacity ammunition

You know, I’ve been around guns all my life, hunted on three continents, shoot about 20,000 rounds a year and I’ve never seen any high-capacity ammunition.

Neither has Butplug, Senile Biden, or the media.

Lately, the Democrat party's position on everything is no compromise.

They have pretty much repudiated the idea of peaceful coexistence.

... high-capacity ammunition

That must be those new ones that are multi-cartridge systems built into each ammunition ... and each of those has multiple bullets in them. You only need one of those high-capacity ammunitions to kill 10 people at a time with a single ammunition shot. So yeah ... we have to get rid of those ...

What is “high-capacity ammunition?” Is it like a MIRV or something?
