Democrat presidential hopeful Robert Beto ORourke responded to those who want to keep their AR-15s by asking why they do not pursue ownership of a bazooka as well.
ORourkes comment came after a gun-totting mother in Aurora, Colorado, told him that he was not taking her guns.
ORourke later took to Twitter and wrote, A woman in CO told me hell no she wont give back her AR-15. I listened, but by her logic: Why shouldnt you be allowed to have a bazooka or a tank?

Why not a flame thrower? Why not a brain?
That could work. Dibs on the 40mm heh.
I use mine to burn the weeds around my pond and to burn brush.
I have ‘bottom pour Lee hot-pot’ for melting lead.
I make all kinds of fishing jigs for walleye, bass, pike, and crappie.
I want an 8” howitzer and a 105 with a good supply of flichette rounds.
So I take it that buto is for bazookas?
What a moron.
Beatoff Ororke would be crippled with fear and have a nervous breakdown if he ever saw what goes on at the Knob Creek and Big Sandy shooting events. .50 caliber machine guns up to quad mounted on trucks, miniguns, 20 mm cannon, 37 mm anti-tank cannon. Beatoff would turn into a useless blithering idiot, oh wait, he already is.
They don’t make ammo for them anymore.
Actually I would prefer a Battery of 105’s and all the ammo I could shoot.
“I want a reliable flame thrower too.”
Don’t repeat off this board - it will just cause liberals to worry. But, you can own a flame thrower. There are no federal restrictions against it. Some states probably prohibit them.
Tanks? Yes they are federally legal too but you have to register and pay a tax if the guns are live. Each round of ammunition for the main gun requires a tax too.
But yes, tanks and machine guns (a limited number) can be legally bought and sold in the U.S. if the paperwork is done properly.
Well, by that logic, I want a 155 mm, self-propelled Howitzer, with forward spotters and air support to go with it. I hate wasting ordnance.
One of the funniest things to do when someone brings up the ‘bazooka’ argument, is ask them exactly what a bazooka is. They have no clue.
During the revolution, private citizens had warships with cannon. Heck, Paul Allen had a bunch of tanks and war planes.
Beta is unintentionally turning out to be the 2ndA’s guardian angel.
Hi.
Between Beto you and me, if I could “bear” a thermonuclear weapon I’d do it.
My brother asked me many years ago why I carried a weapon? I told him because I can’t carry a cop.
5.56mm
That's what the rocket launcher looked like.
According to original intent and practice - of course!
Just look at the armament on Lucy a smallish privateer. The owner sought letters of marque, and had many cannons. Private warships!
I personally think we should use letters of marque now, like we did in the past.
I agree, if you’re not inclined to violence, why not Robert Francis?
Maybe if the Branch Davidians had bazookas, they’d still be alive today.
US Armed Forces don’t use bazookas.... for decades.
It truly is what The Founders intended.
*************************************
You get IT! The clear and simple language says “... keep and bear arms...” and “ ... shall not be infringed ...”
If the Second Amendment does not mean what it says, how can we know if the First Amendment means what it says?
Same question, but the Fifth Amendment?
Fourth Amendment?
Do the Bill of Rights only apply if they are not a threat to government?
Not according to the Founders; according to the Founders they are so great that they exceed the law of the land. In fact, they are part of the basis of the laws of the land.
