Beto O’Rourke: Credit Cards Enable Mass Shootings
Democrat presidential hopeful Robert “Beto” O’Rourke is suggesting credit cards are an enabling factor in mass shootings.
O’Rourke conflated the two via Twitter and followed it by pushing financial institutions to take action.
He wrote, “Credit cards have enabled many of America’s mass shootings in the last decade—and with Washington unwilling to act, they need to cut off the sales of weapons of war today.”
O’Rourke is pushing for corporate gun control even as 145 of America’s well-known companies ask Congress to take up more gun control.

On September 12, 2019, Breitbart News reported that Bain Capital, Credit Karma, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Doordash, GAP, Levi Strauss & Co., Pinterest, Reddit, Royal Caribbean, Twitter, Uber, and Yelp, and 133 other companies sent a letter to Congress asking for universal background checks and legislation allowing court orders for the confiscation of firearms.

I am starting to think that the only reason why these cucks are running is to throw out the talking points that the front runner cannot mention at the time ...

It's really frustrating that these wankers are even getting air time. I'm sure even most democrats don't like what these people are selling.

Shoes enable violent criminals.

Real men pay cash for their guns and ammo. Wives are smarter than government, if you can outsmart your wife you're GTG.

Man, talk about a box of rocks. It is simply remarkable, almost beyond description, the collection of f-wads the dim/socialists have put before the public. These people don't even know how to be embarrassed.

Cars seemed to have enabled them also, allowing them freedom of movement without being detected.

Free will has also enabled people to commit acts of violence . The very fact that a person could act on his own without government knowledge or approval is very dangerous

The freedom to purchase or even steal a weapon also has enabled shooters to obtain guns legally or illegally.

The connection between all of these shooters is clear , they all had freedom . Freedom is a threat . By reducing freedom we can reduce the amount of mass shooters.

Its pretty clear, freedom must be stopped in our lifetimes before more people are killed.

Life itself kills 100% of people who encounter it.

Therefore, it is imperative that we stomp out life.

Only the people. Every other creature seems to get along fine.

I agree. I think Beto is talking about gun confiscation plans as part of the leftists' attempts to market the idea of banning guns, and to then get people to accept it as normal.

Here are excerpts from Beto's goals and his plans from his website:

Create a nationwide gun licensing system and registry......... Individuals will also be required to register their guns through a registry and all new handguns will be microstamped.
[ I'm assuming he means the gun must microstamp the cartridge. AFAIK, capability to reliably do microstamping does not exist, right? Therefore, no new handguns.]

Implement a national buyback program for banned assault weapons and handguns.......... Beto is calling for a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons and a voluntary buyback program for handguns.
[ Prediction: "voluntary" becomes "mandatory".]


To get more voters to vote democratic :

Beto will pursue a plan to register at least 50 million additional voters. It does not matter to Beto whether these voters are Democratic, Republican or independent
[If Beto doesn't care whether the new voters are D, R or I, why mention it? Of course he cares. ]

As President, Beto will work with Congress to pass legislation that allows people without identification to vote with a sworn written statement of identity.
[Along with same day voter registration, Beto seems to support the idea of "vote early and vote often". ]

I read only a little of Beto's website. There is lots of pontificating, appealing to emotions and "feelings".

His ideas are heading towards stacking the deck with votes of his party's liking, implementing totalitarian goals and taking confiscatory actions.

 

[repete]

I gotta disagree with most of you guys, I've never used a credit card to buy a gun and I've never done a mass shooting! Upon further thought I believe I might be able to get a government grant to study the connection. Anyone want to sign up for the study?

He is talking about this so that the other dems can seem "reasonable" by comparison.

It is so that Biden or whomever actually gets the nomination can say "I don't want anything extreme like Beto, just a little registry. "If you like your AR15 you can keep your AR15"

 

[MuttCat]

beto will be talking about tattoos for gun owners next....

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

They want total control. Period.

I've said the same in a different forum. Beto's psychotic rant was a litmus test to see just how far the socialists can push it. HE has zero hope of candidacy, let him make outlandish rants and see just the public receives it. DNC are crooks and thieves, but they are not dumb!
