Beto ORourke launched an expletive-fueled defense of his call Sunday to ban assault-style weapons and impose mandatory buybacks of AR-15s and AK-47s while also pushing back at critics including fellow 2020 Democrat Pete Buttigieg.
During last Thursdays presidential debate, the former Texas congressman said, Hell yes, were going to take your AR-15, your AK-47, and were not going to allow it to be used against your fellow Americans anymore. Three days later, ORourke appeared on NBC News Meet the Press, where host Chuck Todd pointed out that there was a lot of hand-wringing about the presidential contenders full-throated call on national TV for confiscating such rifles.
As ORourke has put the issue of gun violence at the center of his campaign effort, some fellow Democrats have chastised him and expressed concern that his statements may have made things harder for gun control supporters as they negotiate with President Trump on legislation to respond to this summers mass shootings.

presidential contenders full-throated call on national TV for confiscating such rifles.
Calling either of them a contender is quite a stretch in my opinion.
Words of war between a “free” republic and its “representatives”.
Then I guess I’m a #$#$ing dem and have been pulling the lever for the wrong folks for 30 years :)
And I don’t plan on changing much...the cursing or the voting for conservatives :)
Thomas Jefferson, I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence
I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy. - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778
Great sound bite - completely divorced from reality. Gee Beto, if such pronouncements are all it takes then gosh... Why don't we "not allow" other things like oh, drunk driving, domestic abuse, child abuse, medical malpractice, meth, cocaine... Hey, how about we "don't allow" murder!? That'll cover a lot of ground, not just your current talking point! What a {expletive}.
Beto, you simpleton, everyone knows you're making noise because you're in trouble. Polling has you in something like 7th place. Heck, Beto's behind Yang, and no-one even knows who Yang is! So of course Beto is saying controversial things, the dying gasps of a failed campaign.
The rest of the 'rats though...Yeah, they have good reason to want him to shut the **** up. They're leftists, through and through, so of course they also want to promote civilian disarmament. However, they don't want it out so openly. They're trying to maintain the decades-long lie of "no-one is coming for your guns"... Now the other 'rats are worried that they'll be associated with Beto - as well they should.
I’ve said before, this next election isn’t an election at all.
It’s an IQ test.
O the ggod guy bad guy routine. About as genuine as pleather.
Might i suggest at least some acting tips from holkywierd.
If this guy’s wife wasn’t a billionaire he’d be on the street.
Mexican Bob can’t skate board his way into the presidency so I guess he figures he’ll curse his way into it.
I just might steal this from you as a tagline some time next year!
I read an article the other day that said Beto is in an IDGAF mode.
He knows his campaign is a joke. He knows he is a vulgar fool.
He just doesn’t give a eff.
BEETOFF IS AFTER PETE’S WIFE.
LOL! It is!
go for it!
:)
The democrat party was hijacked by the Communist party of the USA in 2008 and hasn’t looked back.
BEETOFF IS AFTER PETE’S WIFE.
“I dont want any US citizens to lose rights granted to them by the Constitution and its Amendments”
The Constitution and Amendments do not “grant” anything.
What the hell kind of background check could be done for a ten year old?

Get into his files at school and at the Doctors.
The Counselors and Teachers might put anything in there, especially if he did something like wear a MAGA hat.
“By making the outrages declaration he has moved the line. So now anythng short of outright mandatory confiscation is the new center position. That is how constant pressure leftward works.”
