(50 sec. in) Will you gladly turn over your gun? begrudgingly turn it over? sheepishly not turn it over, adamantly not turn it over? (or other) lol... Is Beto boy perhaps painting a disingenuous or overly optimistic picture here or is he 'spot on'...? Are you down w/ imprisoning those that resist, as Beto & his ilk espouse? Or should imprisonment wait until the pesky 2A rights are effectively legislated away & not through executive order? https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/09/democrat-beto-orourke/
In the northeast, leftists famously demanded mandatory registration under threat of felony and were met with a 10% compliance rate. I would imagine a mandatory confiscation scheme would be met with a similar or smaller result.
I see now reason gun owners shouldn’t be registered. But I don’t think people aren’t going to take to kindly to having them confiscated illegally either.
Murder is never committed by those who would gladly turn in their guns. Perhaps he will gladly give up his armed security!
You know what's funny? The fact that Beto is willing to say that he'll force law abiding gun owners to turn over their ARs and AKs is proof that he doesn't believe law abiding gun owners are dangerous. Yet... those are the people he wants to go after... Beto IS dangerous. Thank God America will have nothing to do with his megalomaniac ass.
Not only will no one in my neck of the woods willingly surrender their firearms, the police, sheriffs, reservists, and national guardsmen from around here will assist, side by side with the citizenry, in making sure any attempts are nipped in the bud. Not ever gonna happen here. Bank on it. And on an interesting side note, I can't recall any "mass shootings" occurring around here or in a fifty mile radius from here since the Civil War. Believe me gun grabbers, disarming law abiding citizens will make a far more prickly, less convincing moral ground for violent central government aggression than slavery did. Bring it.
I'm assuming you meant "I see no reason gun owner's shouldn't be registered". However, this is an excellent example as to why guns should not be registered. Creating a Government list of who to go after when the guns are confiscated is the exact reason why there is a 2nd Amendment to begin with.
Go into the south side of Chicago and demand they turn over their guns, Beetoff. See how many holes in your head you come out with.
Now we know why he's polling 0.0% in NH. Funny how the LW thinks we can't round up 12 million illegals, but we can force 20 million gun owners to give up their 2A rights.
Exactly, here in blue state NM most of the county sheriffs stated they would not comply with even a universal background check, let alone Beto's crazy ideas.
Fair point. One's words may lead to the deaths of many. I propose that once the technology is available, we wear a cap that's able to detect unapproved thoughts, thereby preventing death by assault speech.
Thank God that it is our birthright - along with our other enshrined natural & constitutional rights, liberties & freedoms! The cost of all this... very bloody & very steep. Ceding any of the above to the deconstructionist 'do-gooders' & their persuasions of the hour is dishonoring the blood sacrifice of those who have established & continue to preserve the purview of our unprecedented liberties & freedoms.
I went to a republican Meet The Candidates dinner a few weeks ago and I learned that about 95% of New Mexico's counties are gun sanctuary counties. I have no idea what polling data O'Rourke is getting, but it's not accurate.
