In the wake of the recent deadly mass shootings, Democratic presidential candidates are stepping up calls for the federal government to start buying firearms from gun owners, with Beto O’Rourke and others going as far as seeking a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons.
O’Rourke, whose home state of Texas has seen two massacres in the last month, was asked over the weekend how he would address some gun owners’ concerns that the government could be planning to take away their firearms. He did not mince words.
“I want to be really clear that that’s exactly what we are going to do,” O’Rourke replied. “Americans who own AR-15s, AK-47s, will have to sell them to the government.”
O’Rourke doubled down when he tweeted out video of his comments. “I was asked how I’d address people’s fears that we will take away their assault rifles,” he wrote Monday alongside the video. “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,” he continued. “All of them.”
A growing number of 2020 Democrats have taken a similar stance, calling for either optional or mandatory federal gun buyback programs to reduce the estimated 400 million guns owned by civilians in America.
Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., in a recent interview with Vox, said he believes there should be an “outright ban” on assault weapons and, like O'Rourke, wants a "mandatory" turnover program.
Politico reports that New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio also supports a mandatory program.
Other Democratic candidates – including former Vice President Joe Biden, former HUD Secretary Julian Castro, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Montana Gov. Steve Bullock – have voiced support for some sort of buyback program, albeit a voluntary one.
Now move the goalposts and come back in a few days and start lying again.
So you found a couple who support it. And one, Beto, isn't even an elected official. And there's zero chance of him getting the nomination with that position.
Yeah, they're only running for President. And anyone who calls for Australian style gun control is calling for gun confiscation. And it just so happens that both Hillary and Obama both said that Aussie gun control is something we should look into.
Hondo because he is a pathological liar is essentially arguing that people who call for Canadian style healthcare aren't really calling for single payer because they never said it.
You are seriously dumb. Look at follow up comments from both Hillary and Obama. Idiot.
And you're an unserious pathological liar.
They said Australian style gun control was something we should look into. Did Aussie gun control involve gun confiscation Hondo? Now go run and hide you worthless Kunt. Hondo is the kind of pathological liar who hear someone say that we should find a Germany style solution to the Jews and then deny they were calling for genocide.
The truth is the overwhelming majority dems in Congress support harsh gun confiscation and very selective gun ownership. This exact topic is brought up at every 1st of the term dem meeting. The veterans like Pelosi know this is a death knell and thus have kept it off the to do list for over 30 years. There was some responsible dem leadership when I worked there but I can only imagine how difficult it has been for Pelosi and this issue with the modern day left wing wacko dems she is forced to work with now.

What is the meaning of unalienable rights? The unalienable rights are those which can never be forfeited. They are fundamental parts of humanity, the basis for moral interactions between people and are irrevocable.

True I hit the post with both of your quotes in it. They are endowed by the creator. History much?

Only in the mind of a America hater is mocking this acceptable.

Pelosi is a modern day left wing wacko dem. It's scum like her that opened the door for the increasing fascism displayed by the dim party.

Since Hondo's tongue rarely leaves O'Keefed's ass you can understand my confusion.
