Beto O'Rourke calls for broader gun buyback at Aurora town hall
AURORA • Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke on Thursday said he was open to expanding his proposal for a mandatory government buyback of AK-47s and AR-15s to include all semi-automatic weapons.

Taking questions from a crowd of about 200 that included survivors of mass shootings and gun-rights advocates at an emotional town hall held within sight of the 2012 Aurora theater shooting, O’Rourke told a survivor of the Columbine massacre that he would consider whether it made sense to confiscate more than the military-style rifles he has been proposing.

“This is a criteria that makes sense to me, if that weapon is designed to kill people and do so efficiently and effectively,” O’Rourke said after Evan Todd pointed out that the perpetrator of the Columbine shooting hadn’t used those weapons.

Now this fellow does not have a chance of being a front runner .. So he just throws out what anyone running for office cannot say at this moment...... Now that idea is out there... 6 months from now the mantra will be ... ban weapons of war ... That 1911 in your safe and the sig p320... ... military using that also... Cannot get it done on a national level ... Safe act 2 on it'd way .... IF banning the AR-15 ban was upheld in court .... then auto loading guns ... very easy using the sane arguments ... Then it goes down hill from there ... Who needs a sniper rifle to kill a deer .. Never had that when the 2nd was written.... .... need to get credit card bills paid off .... could have a limited time to buy that gun one always wanted ... But the crazy never stops .....

“This is a criteria that makes sense to me, if that weapon is designed to kill people and do so efficiently and effectively,”

So, like any gun being used as a self-defense tool. And this would logically expand to anything being carried, so would reasonably coincide with a ban on carrying, nationally. And in simple conflict with the scotus rulings on the 2nd.

"And how much is this rifle worth?"

"Including optic and all extras........ 'bout $3,500"

"..............We have a $50 Walmart gift card for you"

They should be paying gun owners. How many times has America been successfully invaded? Bunch of ingrates.

He knows he can say anything he wants now since its just the cops’ fault anyway.

Here is another link of the Colorado stump speech Beta Boy took to milk the Columbine tragedy in true ghoulish Leftist Demoncrat form.

Beta Boy clearly indicates he is considering confiscation of all semi-auto rifles and handguns.

Also note how obnoxious, rude, and threatening the anti gun crowd is to the woman who states that Beta Boy can not legislate evil out of the hearts of criminals by making victims defenseless.

In Aurora, Beto O’Rourke says he’s open to broadening gun buyback proposal

 

[nortatoga]

Even Fredo school's Beto on confiscation!!

At least twice.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

I hope he keeps it up. He has no chance of getting elected and by continuing to run his mouth about confiscation and banning, he is single handedly killing the Democrat's chance at beating Trump.

What kinds of name/nickname is Beto.

Take a beto now, there will be no gas later...

 

[BuffNiag]

Guy is going for broke. He knows he doesn’t have a chance. Basically he’s just trolling.

 

[Marine Cpl]

He knows he can say anything he wants since the cops will enforce it anyway.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Phazer]

One...more...time, for those in the cheap seats:

There is no such thing as a "government buyback" of firearms. The firearms were never purchased from the government in the first place. Ergo, the government cannot by them back. This is simply a Liberal Progressive focus-group-tested phrase that plays better with independents than "government confiscation of firearms."

I do not speak of buybacks. I only refer to confiscation when speaking with those who advocate from a Leftist perspective.

 

[Airborneguy]

Fixed it for you.

Waah, I hate cops but am not man enough to say it. At least Darth is honest.

 

[Podmonkey]

Where the fuck does he get "beto" from anyways?! His name is Robert Francis. What the fuck is an "beto"?

 

[Marine Cpl]

Hahaha. I don’t hate you AB.

 

[ArmedCorgi]

It's a ploy to get the hispanic vote.

 

[BDinPutnam]

His politician father gave him that nickname very early on for exactly the reason @ArmedCorgi said.

Which is not hypothesis it is well established fact.

 

[Airborneguy]

He’s trying to be fake Hispanic and for some reason the Hispanics in Texas allow him to do it.

I hope he keeps it up. He has no chance of getting elected and by continuing to run his mouth about confiscation and banning, he is single handedly killing the Democrat's chance at beating Trump.

Just like AOC, the more they run their mouth, the better. Got my new computer monitor at work today and realized how pissed this electronics company must be that she's in office....

 

[Podmonkey]

I have heard that. What is a "Beto" though?
I have never heard that name before. Is it a word or something? Why is "Beto" connect to Hispanics?

 

[Podmonkey]

Also, it has been suggested that all o'rourke is doing with his crazy talk is stumping for funding for a future gubernatorial or senatorial run.
Sounds like a logical explanation. Politicians never personally believe what they say. All he is doing is pandering to the looney far left.
He thinks Texas is going to flip blue.

It's a nickname for boys with Spanish names ending in berto, like "Roberto".

Either that or it just means "cunt".

 

[Saltwater60]

Can’t be true they don’t want to confiscate guns.

 

[Bigfoot]

Can’t be true they don’t want to confiscate guns.

Yep, I have heard most of them say that over and over for a number of years now.

I'm not sure why nobody believes them... It's not like the Democrats lie every time their lips are flapping... LOL
