Joe Biden Wants AR-15 Confiscating Beto O'Rourke to Take the Lead on Gun Control

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden gladly accepted former rival Beto O'Rourke's endorsement during a rally in Dallas on the Monday before Super Tuesday. When O'Rourke was finished with his speech, Biden revealed he wants the former congressman to lead the effort on gun control.

"I'm gonna guarantee you this is not the last you've seen of this guy," the former vice president said as he had his arm around O'Rourke. "You're going to take care of the gun problem with me. You're gonna to be the one who leads this effort. I'm counting on you. I'm counting on you. We need you badly, the state needs you, the country needs you."

Biden just ensured that no gun owing American citizen will ever vote for him and his trained monkey.

You got that right. The negative campaign ads just write themselves.

I’m convinced that the only reason Biden is running is self protection for himself, his family, and “The Swamp,” because they can’t allow their trough to be revealed and taken away.

They’ll claim that he and his family can’t be investigated for the REAL crimes they committed while becoming millionaires, even though the intelligence apparatus of the US was tasked with the destruction of the Trump family and everyone involved with the campaign and his administration, while using demonrat supplied disinformation, courtesy of foreign intelligence services.

Biden had never won the election, but you are right to point out that he continues to careen from one bad choice to the next given where he needs to go in the general election.

This was another self-inflicted wound that not only harms his chances, but harms democrats in swing districts.

If there were a democrat candidate who ignored the conventional wisdom of the media that has pushed them so far to the left I would be concerned, but even the “moderates” are swinging wildly to the left in their primary.

Why?

Because that is where the media and conventional wisdom is telling them they need to be.

They are wrong. It is bad politics to say you will end fracking, coal mining, refineries, pipelines, etc. It is bad politics to say you will confiscate and/or seize firearms from law abiding Americans. Reparations are bad politics. Free college for all are bad politics along with forgiving student loans. Raising taxes on the middle class and free healthcare for all are bad politics.

Right now they think these things are what they need to do or say to secure the nomination, but where will it leave them after the convention? They will not only have won the right to be the loser in November, they will crush democrat candidates in many districts and give up the house.

Democrats used to be smart by knowing that they needed to chip away at all of these things to reach a goal. They have abandoned all pretense now and are basically promising shock therapy for the nation. A fundamental transformation in a time of peace and prosperity.

DUmocrats prove time and time again there is no room for common sense in their party...

God has no room in their party. If you value your own life, they promote open borders with no way to defend yourself, your family, or your livelihood and want to kill off your offspring so they can bring in more unskilled and illiterate slavish supporters with promises of unlimited “freebies”. If you value your property, they will allow squatters to pillage and trash everything you have worked for.

There are many more reasons and I even neglected one of the best issues for Trump -

Immigration and border security.

This is a winning issue that was a very powerful plus for Trump in 2016. Trump is no “Chamber of Commerce” republicrat!

The good polls show clearly that even a majority of democrats oppose unchecked and illegal immigration.

Winning!

That would make Joe Biden the last president of this Republic.

Re the thread title: if Beto ONLY wanted to take AR15's that would be bad enough, but has anyone else actually read the "assault" weapon bill he cosponsored in Congress?

A Ruger 10-22 with an adjustable stock is an "assault" weapon, while all other versions of the same gun are not.

A S&W .22 Victory is also an "assault" weapon because of the threaded barrel.

The other candidates have all cosponsored identical bills. They want our ordinary .22's.
