O'Rourke Believes Americans Will Willingly Comply with Gun Confiscation, Won't Need Police
Western Journal ^ | Sept 9, 2019 | C. Douglas Golden

... That’s pretty much what former Democratic Rep. O’Rourke’s campaign is about at this point. He’s seen a revival of his fortunes by jumping in front of the cameras whenever there’s a mass shooting and saying that it’s time to confiscate America’s AR-15s and other so-called “assault weapons” via a mandatory “buyback.”

And does he think there’s going to be any trouble getting Mr. and Mrs. America to turn them all in? No, of course not. When he was asked about the logistics of his plan in Manchester, New Hampshire, he said that his mandatory so-called “buyback” plan wouldn’t include law enforcement coming to your house if you didn’t comply.

“No. I don’t see the law enforcement going door to door,” O’Rourke said in response to a question at the New Hampshire Democratic Party Convention on Saturday.

“I see Americans complying with the law. I see us working with gun owners, non-gun owners, local, county, state, federal law enforcement to come up with the best possible solution. I have yet to meet an owner of an AR-15 who thinks it’s OK that we have these kind of mass killings in this country.”

If he believes that he is really out of touch with reality.

Maybe he can make himself believe we already have.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If...if...We didn’t love FREEDOM enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation.... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn ,

If he thinks the people will willing give up their guns, he surely didn’t pay attention to the registrations acts in NY and CT. There is about a 1% compliance in very deep blue states. There will be no voluntary disarming.

It amazes me that the entire cast on the dem side is running on taking away freedoms. They make it sound nice, but when you boil it down their entire platform is about removing liberty and freedom. When they run on a platform like that, they shouldn’t be surprised that the people are reminded about what the 2ndA was intended for. It was people like that.

Plenty of supporters here on FR.. if you question that, I can send you the responses from trumps bumpstock ban, red flag rules and now “the administrations gun control package”.
Only Gun Owners Of America is still in it, while the NRA submits.
The bumpstock ban opened the doir to ffinding and funding murderers to complete the 2A demise.
Speaking of submission, look up the fastest growing US religion and ask yourself if the government and criminals should be the only ones with firepower.

He is showing his I.Q, a real professional modern thinker. I say let;s give it a try, starting in Texas where he was from.
