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.

How exactly are MORE infringements than we already have compatible with “shall not be infringed”?
In other words, he’s just another Rat gun grabber.
What part of "Shall Not Be Infringed" allows for Gun Control, Pete ButtPLUG ???
And Sharia Law is compatible with the US Constitution. /sarc
Is that like being “a little pregnant?”
The way he has sex has scrambled his brains.
to Buttplug.
Dick Buttjudge is becoming the next Beto.
I would like to know what the dem freak show thinks why we have a second amendment
Maybe the control folks should write up a fancy law that says the same form of ID for voting should be used for gun purchases. That seems very effective, in that we don’t have many nuts going out to register two or more times or vote in a fraudulent way.
Groovy.
So’s behavior control...like screwing another guy and calling it “marriage”
Free People have a right to regulate their societies, Butt-Gig, and a mental case like you should never have had a gun
How ya like them apples, poof?
is speech control compatible with the 1’st amendment? How much speech control would be compatible? Can we pass a law that forbids politicians from making asinine arguments on public?
We already have 1000s of gun control laws and they only make it more and more difficult for law abiding citizens to obtain a firearm. We need more criminal control.....
Buttboy: another Marxist wanna-be going after the Constitution and wanting to remove power from the people. Right out of the Karl Marx playbook.
Mayor Peter Puffer doesn’t know what she’s talking about.
Speaks 7 languages yet does not know what ‘infringed’ means.
Let he who no rifle, sell his big screen and buy one.
Sit down and shut up Bootigig Peter
Notice how Dems continue to use weasel words and spin to describe their anti-gun position. They just can’t come out and say it that guns should be banned and the 2nd repealed. Such a candidate would get slaughtered at the polls like the Dems back in 1994 when that stupid AWB passed. People need to ask Pete and other Dems do you support the 2nd Amendment or not? If you do but then try to explain that we need more restrictions or gun control, the debate is over. You do not support the 2nd Amendment because none of the “yeah buts” doesn’t count.
