Beto: We Shouldn’t Be Selling ARs in this Country
The Truth About Guns ^ | 10/08/18 | Dan Zimmerman

Posted on 10/09/2018 9:43:02 AM PDT by Simon Green

Just an election season reminder this was said:

“I think banning bump stocks makes a lot of sense. I don’t know that we should raise the age for buying an AR-15 I just don’t think we should be selling AR-15s in this country.

“That weapon was designed for one purpose and one purpose only, to kill people as effectively and as efficiently as possible on the battlefield.” – Senate candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke in an interview with CBS News

“That weapon was designed for one purpose and one purpose only, to kill people as effectively and as efficiently as possible on the battlefield.”

So was the Brown Bess musket, which the left tells us is what is really protected by the 2nd amendment.

Lots of AR-15s have been sold in the US over the years. Have they all been used to slaughter as many people as possible? Because otherwise, maybe there is some other purpose for them after all.

That fake Latino, O’Rourke, is still trying to drum up a modicum of support for complete negation of the Second Amendment, not because he is truly determined to protect the lives and property of citizens from armed thugs, but to assure that private citizens do not have the means to resist the jack-booted thugs sent by the government to enforce some very unpopular but legally authorized application of some provision of the law, or in many instances, the illegal suppression of some opinion or activity.

Where in the heck did the Dems find this clown? He is a low life with a criminal record. I wouldn't hire him to be a janitor. It's like Beavis and Butthead running for office.

The same way Hillary had a ninety five percent chance of winning, and the same way Wendy Davis was going to win.

That's correct. We should be selling M16's which would pretty much make AR's obsolete.

If the police need full auto. WE need full auto.

Their purpose is so law abiding citizens won’t be killed as effectively and as efficiently as possible.

Beto is another great example of the reason AR’s should be available.

Maybe not full rock n roll which is wildly inaccurate unless using a bipod, but being able to select 3 round burst would be nice. Wonder if a burst mode would require same licensing as full auto ?
