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

Posted on 09/08/2019 2:53:21 PM PDT by upchuck

... 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.”

Has anybody mentioned to this immature dork that to even call for confiscating Americans' 300 millions guns, will require a repeal of the 2nd Amendment or, at the very least, a change in it?

Gun ownership is ensconced in the Constitution. It is in the original Bill of Rights. The right to own and bear arms, according to the amendment, is NOT TO BE INFRINGED UPON. Americans own more guns than all of the standing armies in the world.

The 2nd Amendment was created to stop treasonous treachery like the Irish Mexican is bragging about engaging in. The government can't just take away our guns unless we want them to.

Ain't going to happen. Not in this country.

I don’t have one, but I might go buy one now just to not turn it in. He is certified nuts.

Everything... EVERYTHING the left candidates are saying is the biggest pack of lying fodder I’ve ever heard.. and if they were in touch with the people out here who are voters, they would not be so deep in their own sick beliefs.

Killing babies and other races .. to save the world
eat human flesh... and I guess we don’t have to go any further to know they have gone off into a satanic world where anything goes if they say so.

It’s unreal... somewhere they have lost their minds..

Never in my lifetime would I have thought the United States would sink so low to even think of flesh eating and killing human beings they deem unworthy... what keeps them from being struck dead from on High!!!!

Confiscation of firearms is Unconstitutional but so is murdering babies and that is allowed in this country.

Babies can’t fight back when their lives are snuffed out by a murderous mother with help from a baby killer abortionist.

I, on the other hand, can fight back when threatened with the end of my life and so should you.

“Didn’t they pass a large capacity magazine ban in New Jersey that required them to be turned in?

Probably because that’s exactly why those people needed to keep them.

In Manchester, NH of all places.

How clueless are these guys to go to NH of all states, and push gun control and think people are going to comply.

This is the “Live Free or Die” state.

Overreaching government is NOT welcome.

Dems keep this up and Trump will handily take NH.

Beta is right. He won’t need the police. He’ll need an army.

...I agree ...! O’Rourke must be off his lithium or something... he seems to be becoming more and more irrational as the year passes... does he actually believe following a knock on my door and a request from an LEO that I am gonna freely give up my precious little (well, not so little now...) arsenal, which includes a brand-new AR-15...?? really; is he smoking too much weed or eating the wrong kind of mushrooms...?? PLEASE... get an intervention for that poor misguided soul....!!!

Certifiable.

Invoke the 25th Amendment.

Beto needs to spend some time in the real world, not hanging out with his wife’s heiress friends. There are some real rough and tumble men in our country, he’s never met them.

(of course, I could be out on the lake some day with all my guns and a big gust of wind came up and the boat tipped over and, oh my, all of my guns just, well, ya know, like, disappeared....!!! sad...so sad....)

“It amazes me that the entire cast on the dem side is running on taking away freedoms.”

The Dems are supported by people who consider freedom a burden; they want to be as dependent as possible and contribute as little as they can get away with. Communism is a death spiral but there are always fools who want to give it a whirl.
