It is the same with those who want to jump right to MFA and fail to get the ACA shored up, and the Public Option in place.

Beto wants to go right to mandatory buybacks and then, if people do not comply, you go in with armed LEO's and take them via the threat of deadly force. That is an instant concrete manifestation of every RW wacko's paranoid fantasy for decades about the 'gubmint' taking their guns (and then sticking the right wingers in camps.) It will blow out hundreds of elected Democratic pols nationwide and will turn violent in many places.

I am anti-gun. I would, if I could, snap my fingers and make the 2nd amendment disappear, and then do an Australian or UK or Swedish, etc etc style outlawing. But that is not reality in gun-grazed, gun-saturated 'Murica, unfortunately.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

His demands to take away people's guns is effed up. aikoaiko Oct 2019 #2

That was very strange, indeed. aikoaiko Oct 2019 #4

I missed that. Heard his call for outlawing guns Laura PourMeADrink Oct 2019 #7

Beto O'Rourke: Buttigieg Opposes Gun Confiscation Because He's 'Afraid to Do the Right Thing' Celerity Oct 2019 #8

What he said about Buttigieg is accurate. dalton99a Oct 2019 #19

Right, see my post #35 wildflower Oct 2019 #40

This is what upset Beto: wildflower Oct 2019 #35

Thank you for posting the context of his remarks MustLoveBeagles Oct 2019 #46

I 100% agree with Buttigieg Celerity Oct 2019 #69

And Buttigieg as VP pick wouldn't be electoral suicide? dalton99a Oct 2019 #22

non sequitur Celerity Oct 2019 #26

Beto responded to Pete's and Sen. Schumer's liskddksil Oct 2019 #28

sorry, but Buttigieg and all the others know an electoral loser of a stance when they see it Celerity Oct 2019 #31

LOL we've made so many advances on gun reform from Columbine to the night Beto uttered "Hell Yeah" liskddksil Oct 2019 #36

I find nothing funny or worthy of sarcasm about any of this Celerity Oct 2019 #48

Actually Harris and Booker have expressed support for Beto's plan, but liskddksil Oct 2019 #52

Completely agree. cwydro Oct 2019 #68

more right wing bullshit jcgoldie Oct 2019 #23

so you're saying every 1 of our candidates, save Beto, are buying into RW bullshit when they refuse Celerity Oct 2019 #29

I don't hear them criticizing him for it... jcgoldie Oct 2019 #30

Maybe you are not looking hard enough, or maybe you are inferring too much into Buttigiegs Celerity Oct 2019 #34

My comments had zero to do with Pete Buttigieg... jcgoldie Oct 2019 #38

ok, fair enough Celerity Oct 2019 #41

Beto's proposal is even more extreme than the solution we used to curb machine gun crime aikoaiko Oct 2019 #43

The problem is worse than that NRA BS jcgoldie Oct 2019 #49

NRA BS? These were mostly just facts and logic. aikoaiko Oct 2019 #62

fear mongering jcgoldie Oct 2019 #64

I'll respond to each point aikoaiko Oct 2019 #66

Ah come on. You fanatic assault weapons gunners are only about 15% of population. Hoyt Oct 2019 #33

Maybe but we know the political pressure points. aikoaiko Oct 2019 #47

You think you do. The other 85% of us think it's time to quit coddling gunners, Hoyt Oct 2019 #60

It's not hurting him in TX, one of the places you'd most expect it Rstrstx Oct 2019 #59
