Beto O'Rourke Says He'll Send Cops Door-To-Door To Confiscate AR-15s

Sounds like he has no clue as to what he is going to start, if he can convince LEO's to go along and can figure out where to send them without first starting a form of registration and tracking.


Presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke said he would send police door-to-door to confiscate guns that weren't turned in.

Washington, DC – Presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke doubled-down on his plan to take legally-owned “weapons of war” away from U.S. citizens and said he would send police door-to-door to take the guns away.

O’Rourke has focused much of his campaign’s time and attention on promising to ban all “assault-style” rifles, such as the popular AR-15s, because they have been used in several mass shootings in the United States.

However, the candidate has been wishy-washy until now as to how he would actually take the guns out of the hands of their owners who purchased the weapons legally.

At first, O’Rourke claimed that American gun owners would “do the right thing” and turn in their guns if the laws were changed during his administration, the Washington Examiner reported.

He continued to claim that people who own AR-15s and AR-47s have told him they don’t need their guns and they’re willing to give them up.

"My faith is in this country and in my fellow Americans following the law and listening to people who own AK-47s and AR-15s who acknowledge, who concede, they don’t need it for self-protection," the candidate said. "They don’t need it to hunt. Its real, true purpose and use is on a battlefield."

“To be clear, I’m not talking about confiscating anybody’s guns,” he said. “But I do think that for those weapons of war – AR-15s, AK-47s – these were designed and sold to the militaries of the world to kill people on the battlefield and there are more than 16 million of them in America, and we’ve seen the devastating effect they can have in Dayton, Ohio or El Paso, Texas, or Odessa, not too far from where I live.

And for those who don’t voluntarily give up their “assault rifles,” he told MSNBC there would be consequences.

I think there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm and to make sure that it is purchased - bought back - so that it cannot potentially be used against somebody else.

 

He's really making inroads to a dead end..

 

He may be trying to emulate Trump ("I'll build a wall and make Mexico pay for it") by over-promising and taking a firm stand on an issue. It worked for Trump.

 

"I think there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm and to make sure that it is purchased - bought back - so that it cannot potentially be used against somebody else."

Sorry I forgot the quotation marks.

Big difference between the two, Beto has zero chance of being nominated, the Democrats will run a senile brain dead candidate like Biden or Warren, someone they can manipulate, not a loose cannon, with a big mouth like Beto.

 

A lot of Sheriff's being elected would advise Beto to go pound sand and do the job himself, the other problem is LEO's take an oath to support the Constitution and Doing what Beto wants would be a violation of that oath.

 

Robert Francis`s dad should have given him the nickname doofus instead of beto.

 

If the Dumbocrats try something this stupid, it would be like the 1946 battle of Athens, Tennessee on a national scale.

 

I like Beto, but he’s taking extreme positions trying to stay relevant. It won’t work for him.

 

Frankly, I'm loving all this honesty! These are positions that Democratic candidates held but would never say unless they were accidentally caught on mike or making some other Kinsey-like gaffe. In the Trump era, Democrats are letting their hair down, turning that chair around and telling it like it is.

Fantastic that all the cards are finally getting thrown onto the table!

 

Close but not quite there, the Second enforces the Declaration of Independence, which invokes the naturalized God given right that the people shall have the right to "life, liberty and happiness."

And the preservation of life is the most important part of the Second, for if that fails, nothing beyond "the preservation of life" can exist.

 

And it's going to cost them dearly in 2020.

 

Maybe or maybe not. We've known that demographic changes are making it possible to become more and more crazy without the Democrats suffering any electoral loss. I don't know if 2020 is that year but virtually all of the Democratic candidates have said some totally crazy things since the race began that have not been hurt by them at all.

 

Good point, but how much of the damage they are doing to themselves is being suppressed by the MSM?

 

Well Beto's dumb remarks weren't; although they couldn't have suppressed it if they tried since he rolled that out during the last debate. But it doesn't matter. Just the open stuff that's reported on is crazy enough.

 

Sorry beto, they were lost in a boating accident.

 

All the while confirming as indisputable fact, what firearm owners in the united states have been saying for decades. It is now impossible for any individual who belongs to the democrat party to claim that no one is seeking to deprive legal firearm owners of their property, without the campaign message of Beto O'Rourke being presented as evidence to the contrary.

 

Betos idea is never going to work.

iMO, all States should issue a gun license for all gun purchases regardless of who you are purchasing the gun from.

And you have to apply for the license and get approved prior to the gun purchase. The seller should make a copy of the license and keep it in their records after reporting the purchase to the State. easy.

 

Over promise all the fool wants ...... " SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED " . Sorry some dont like our constitution.

 

You have to have a fishing, hunting, driver license. Why not a gun license? I doubt that any law abiding person who purchased their gun for protection or hunting would have a problem with this.

But, those that are illegals or criminals aren't going to purchase a gun from a legal dealer of guns or apply for a license.

This is why trying to control gun ownership won't keep guns out of criminals hands.

Gun laws will only regulate citizens that are lawful.

Beto is a goof ball. I dare him to knock on doors and try to take guns away from criminals.
Gun control is not what is needed. Society needs to allow parents to parent their children. Teachers need to discipline students. Problem children need access to counseling and their parents need to participate. people need to attend church or participate in another group that supports working together for a common, peaceful good. Like charity and so on. Schools should require students participate in a philanthropy, 20 hours prior to graduation from high school. Good for them.

 

Fishing, hunting, and operating a motor vehicle on a public right of way are not constitutional rights, whereas firearms ownership is. They are simply not comparable to one another. Nor does fishing, hunting, or operating a motor vehicle on a public right of way pertain to the matter of self defense.
