Former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) said in an interview broadcast on Sunday that Texas needs to find “common ground” on gun control by respecting the Second Amendment while also requiring safety measures on firearms.
O’Rourke, the 2022 Democratic candidate for governor of Texas, slammed current Gov. Greg Abbott (R) for what he described as “extreme” gun policies in the interview with KXAN-TV in Austin, Texas, citing a Quinnipiac poll that found only 6 percent of Texans agree with Abbott’s policy of no background checks.

Anyone who has ‘common ground’ with that jerk Beto - needs to join up with demofrats... because we don’t want Peter Pan types in our party.
Where do they get this ‘no background’ check insanity? I guess they want husbands and wives, kids, anyone else to have a background check when you give or even lend them a gun. They’re saying 94% support that?
A couple guns I know of already have safeties but thanks anyway.
Riggggght.
His side: AR-15s and AK-7s are banned. Standard capacity 30 round magazines are banned. He will take them from us.
Our side: (crickets)
To him, this is common ground.
Here’s the common ground Francis. GFY.
There is no common ground. Rot in hell.
There’s no common ground. These folks just need to be defeated then we need to start rolling things back.
Hmm... I'm thinking he doesn't mean a good sight picture and a smooth trigger pull.
Here’s my common ground: zero gun control. What part of shall not infringe don’t you get? Come and join me, our founding fathers and generations of freedom loving Americans.
There is no common ground. You want to not punish, or not even arrest violent criminals, while strictly limiting what arms the law-abiding can have access to, and harshly punishing those who violate those ever-tightening laws, you want to make the law-abiding pay for the actions of criminals, e.g. by forcing them to pay for background/registration checks even though gun ownership is a right, and to buy liability insurance. Meanwhile, you want to arm government agents to the teeth, exempting them from all the gun control laws, and this even while they simply stand aside while school children are being massacred in your “gun-free zones”, if not lying about their actions, or even actively preventing armed citizens or parents from taking any action against murderers, while the police do nothing about them.
Sorry, there’s no room for any “compromise” there whatsosever.
Sorry La Raza boy. There is NO COMMON GROUND in the Bill of Rights. It is not up to the government to manipulate them. The Bill of Rights belong to the American people. Taco Bell is hiring. Why don’t you get off your ass and go get a real job.
FBO.
Another Quinnipiac “poll”. REALLY? Only .2% of Texans I know agree with Quinnipiac “polls”. LOL.
Here’s your ‘common ground’ Bobby: “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
He’s finally agreeing that it shall not be infringed?
All we needed was one single cop with balls enough to charge into a school to save our children from a murderous product of the Democrats. We finally had a Border Patrol Agent drive to the seen and do that. Finally.
The only new laws we need are for cops to be held fully accountable for dereliction of duty and cowardice on duty. Every single adult human being should have been expected to do that, armed or unarmed. In fact, many were perfectly willing to give up their lives to save the children. The cops there in Texas stopped them.
Hey Beta, I've got your gun control RIGHT HERE!
go back to your skateboard, schmuck, and may you follow biden’s example of safe cycling!
If you got rid of all the coward and/or crooked cops there’d be none left.
