It’s not just Beto O’Rourke – the rest of the left has revealed their ultimate goal.
This is very important in that it changes the talk on the 2 Amendment from a common sense chain of steps to the real argument. Which is why the Commies are condemning Beto for bringing it up.
Beto O'Rourke just did Republicans a massive favor on guns https://edition.cnn.com/2019/09/13/politics/beto-orourke-guns-debate/index.html
Welcome to FR.
I look forward to prying the microphone from Beto’s cold dead hand.
The guns they want to seize are those held legally by honest, law-abiding NON-VIOLENT citizens who respect others’ rights and use guns for legitimate purposes.
The guns they don’t plan on seizing are those held illegally by crooked VIOLENT criminals who use guns to rape, steal, and kill.
There was a time starting in 1962, when they “ONLY wanted to register handguns! Rifles will not be affected!”
1981..Actress Lee Grant, yelling and poking holes in the air with her finger, on Good Morning America...”THE NRA IS A RIFLE ORGANIZATION! THEY SHOULD GIVE UP THEIR HANDGUNS AND THEY CAN KEEP THEIR RIFLES!”
1976, they put their plans for gun control on paper...

Founder of Handgun Control, Inc.
“I’m convinced that we have to have federal legislation to build on. We’re going to have to take one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest.
Of course, it’s true that politicians will then go home and say, ‘This is a great law. The problem is solved.’ And it’s also true that such statements will tend to defuse the gun-control issue for a time.
So then we’ll have to strengthen that law, and then again to strengthen that law, and maybe again and again. Right now, though, we’d be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time.
My estimate is from seven to ten years. The problem is to slow down the increasing number of handguns sold in this country. The second problem is to get them all registered. And the final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, policemen, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs, and licensed gun collectors — TOTALLY ILLEGAL.”
-Pete Shields, Chairman and founder, Handgun Control Inc., “A Reporter At Large: Handguns,” The New Yorker, July 26, 1976, 57-58
“Yes, I’m for an outright ban [on handguns].”

HCI (now the Brady Center), around 1984, made a grab for the rifles, and missed. But now gun owners know that we are always up against a stacked deck. NEVER GIVE AN INCH!
Thank you for sharing and/or compiling.

Umm, hang on while I empty it.
Those clowns would stain their pants if they ever saw a toy water pistol. None have a clue as to the meaning of the term, “AR.”
Like a roaring lion or a charging bear is wicked ruler to a helpless people. Proverbs 28:15 ————- Why be helpless?
