Beto O'Rourke pledges to take away AR-15s and AK-47s if elected

Robert Francis "Beto" O'Rourke said on Labor Day that AR-15 and AK-47 owners will have to give up their firearms if he is elected president.

He posted a video on the topic, addressing "fears" that an O'Rourke administration would take away "assault rifles."

He said, "I want to be clear: That's exactly what we're going to do. Americans who own AR-15s and AK-47s will have to sell their assault weapons. All of them."

O'Rourke's talk of AR and AK owners giving up or selling their guns is a continuation of his campaign pledges to do a forced buyback of certain categories of firearms. And it is only one aspect of his overarching gun control plan.

On August 31, 2019 - the very day of the shootings in the Midland-Odessa region of Texas-O'Rourke admitted to not knowing the facts, then pushed gun control anyways. O'Rourke proclaimed, "This is f*cked up," then went on to sell shirts emblazoned with the slogan for Moms Demand Action.

What happens when no one sells there guns back? Do the feds kick people's doors in and take the guns? Most gun owners and many local governments may have a problem with that plan, at least people will down here in the "deep South".

In other news, ding dong is going to end the river of illegal merch and substances from Mexico by saying he did.

"as President, I will deliver on none of the bullshit promises I made during my campaign, and will instead tank this nation using the most expedient and lasting means known to any traitor that has been here before me." will be his inauguration speech.

Every person that believes in eliminating guns in this nation is absolutely off their rocker. All that will happen is American manufacturers and gun shops will disappear, and every illegal gun will be available to the crook and not the law abiding citizen.

Wave your multi-colored flag at that.

"Sorry officer, but two undocumented alien invaders, both with long criminal records both in their countries and in the US, just kicked down my door, went to my closet and stole my AK-47. When they left here, they said they were going to the stadium, where the football game was about to begin."

I would ask, how many registered users of AK-47 was guilty of any massacre, or even robery?

Beatoff O'Dork has as much chance of being president as I do of mutating a blow-hole in the middle of my forehead overnight...

Bezel Bub Careful with comparisons like that.

Given the state of law enforcement in the US, you may be just one burned out tail light away from a cop providing you with exactly that kind of "mutation".
