O’Rourke: Time to find ‘common ground’ on gun control

The hill ^ | 06/19/2022 | Chole Folmar

I think I’ve found our common ground - if I want to own a gun, I will, if you don’t, you don’t.

[Dr. Sivana]

This “Common Ground” schtick requires his side to give up something, and they never do. “Let’s compromise and do it my way.”

[joma89]

We do not negotiate with democrat party terrorists.

[chopperk]

No one cares what Beatoff thinks.

[ChildOfThe60s]

The only common ground I can possibly ever have with this yo-yo is if we were accidentally buried in the same cemetery.

[windsorknot]

I do believe in “gun control”. That’s why range-time is important.

[Highest Authority]

Here’s our common ground Bevis, the Constitution of The United States. If you don’t like it, get the hell out!

98% OF MASS-SHOOTINGS OCCUR IN GUN-FREE ZONES

---

REPEAL THE GUN-FREE SCHOOL ZONE ACT OF 1990

---

FACT: Guns prevent an estimated 2.5 million crimes a year or 6,849 every day. 98+% of the time the gun is not fired and no blood (including the criminal’s) is shed.

Wasn’t he screaming at the governor and the AG while they were attempting to lead this situation.

He is a private citizen. He has zero authority

Geeze the leftists sure bow to the moneyed people when it suits them. He has no authority but that he is from a money family. Money in-laws and has an Hispanic nickname. He is Irish.

[Mouton]

Not for me, I am headed for a vet cemetery. This POS could not make the list.

[txeagle]

He’ll never understand that common ground meas I’ll keep what I have and he can STFU.

[JimRed]

All the needed common ground is contained in the phrase “shall not be infringed”. Anything else is a violation.

[Lurkinanloomin]

That includes at least 10 GOP senators who have signed on for this.

O’Rourke: Time to find ‘common ground’ on civilian disarmament.

[Seaplaner]

Hmmm, might "common ground" include:

--Strict enforcement of gun laws already on the books?

--No bail for gun possession during violent crimes (and no dropping charges; any illegal possession must be included in charges?)

--Immediate deportation for illegal aliens (and families) for possession of firearms?

--Others ?

[Alas Babylon!]

Remember what he said as a democrat presidential candidate back in 2020?

Beto O’Rourke wants to ban and confiscate ‘assault weapons’ and create a national gun registry

Do not trust ANYTHING he says. We KNOW what he really wants...

[isthisnickcool]

If no guns then sickos will use other tools.

[pepsi_junkie]

Finding “Common ground” is insider code for democrats gettting to do what they want to and republicans getting to do what they secretly want to.

[Yo-Yo]

My common ground on gun control is the two hand isosceles stance.

Just finished shooting with my adult son for Father’s Day.

[mosaicwolf]

I think this gang of how many in the Senate, should be creative about this issue. They should hold hearings on how to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and the mentally unstable. Invite the following to testify:

Gang member from Chicago

Gang member from New York

GangMember from Los Angeles

Menally unstable folks that are on drugs

Known Alcoholics

Several people from Mental institutions.

Ask each one how we can accomplish keeping guns from the above. I'm sure they will have some enlightening ideas that the the committee from the permanent criminal class in DC can understand.
