O’Rourke’s ‘Hell, Yes’ Candor Bares All Democrats’ True Intent On Guns ~ VIDEO

Opinion

BELLEVUE, WA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Democrat presidential hopeful Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke’s outburst on gun control during Thursday evening’s presidential debate, and the applause that followed, effectively erased any doubts about the true intent the candidate, his party and their followers have toward the Second Amendment, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

“Hell, yes,” O’Rourke blurted, “we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47!”

“O’Rourke’s comment was brutally revealing,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “and so was the reaction from the audience. His intent to confiscate privately-owned firearms got the biggest cheer of the evening. Even more alarming was the fact that not one of his colleagues on stage made an effort to disagree. That should concern every gun owner in the country.

“Second Amendment activists have been ridiculed by Democrats and the gun prohibition lobby for years,” he continued. “Their condescending assurances that ‘nobody is going to take your guns’ just went out the window, thanks to O’Rourke, who even said the same thing last year while campaigning for the U.S. Senate.

“O’Rourke can’t walk that back,” Gottlieb observed. “His outburst is getting more media attention than anything else he’s said on the campaign trail. The reaction from the audience, and the silence of other candidates confirms what we’ve been saying. Just look online; they’re already selling T-shirts with his comment on the front!

“Thanks to O’Rourke,” he noted, “Democrats have just graduated from being the ‘party of gun control’ to officially being the ‘party of gun confiscation,’ and nobody in the firearms community is going to forget that.

“From this moment forward,” he predicted, “when Democrats talk about ‘gun reform’ or ‘gun safety,’ the whole country will know they’re not just talking about gun control, they’re talking about taking firearms from law-abiding citizens who have committed no crime.

“Obviously,” Gottlieb stated, “O’Rourke’s party is no longer interested in piecemeal erosion of the Second Amendment. Their intent now is to smash it. How can Democrats expect any gun owner to believe otherwise unless the party, especially the other candidates, immediately disavow and condemn O’Rourke’s remark? Their silence is both deafening, and damning.”


Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear ArmsWith more than 650,000 members and supporters nationwide, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (www.ccrkba.org) is one of the nation’s premier gun rights organizations. As a non-profit organization, the Citizens Committee is dedicated to preserving firearms freedoms through active lobbying of elected officials and facilitating grass-roots organization of gun rights activists in local communities throughout the United States.

An Open Letter to presidential candidate Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke: Dear presidential candidate Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke: April 19th, 1775 is a day of the greatest significance to the birth of this great nation. If they didn’t teach you about this date in your “American History” class I will gladly share the facts with you for “those who don’t know history (or I would add… willfully dare to ignore it) are doomed to repeat it’s mistakes…” On that specific day 700 British Red coats (what a coincidence! The Communist’s/Socialist’s favorite color!) under the command of Lieutenant Colonel FRANCIS Smith (wow!… Read more »

Frank, it’s amazing how many educated Americans have no idea what was behind Lexington-Concord. They’re also not aware of the Supreme Court decisions that have again and again reaffirmed the purpose, application, and weapons protected by the 2nd Amendment: United States v. Miller 1939 confirmed that military weapons are protected by the 2nd Amendment. District of Columbia v. Heller 2008 confirmed the individual right. McDonald v. City of Chicago 2010 stated that the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment and the Bill of Rights apply to state and local governments. Caetano v. Massachusetts 2016 ruled that the 2nd Amendment… Read more »

A Great post Francisco, Tyranny is being displayed openly. The pot is starting to boil.

The Democrat Party has finally revealed itself to be the same fascistic terrorist organization as they were after the Civil War when they wore white hoods and robes and lynched Blacks and Republicans. They want to strip you of ALL your God-given Rights and not just the Right to Bear Arms. I have heard them on the campaign trail trashing America, trashing the Constitution, trashing the Declaration, trashing our Founding Fathers and trashing our values and principles. They’ve always wanted to do away with the 2nd Amendment and eliminate our right to defend ourselves and our families how we see… Read more »

Did you notice that the red flag proposal is not for a federal law, but rather the plan is to provide grants to the states who enact red flag laws. Why, you ask? Because a federal law will be contested in court. It could take 50 lawsuits if red flag laws are passed by all the states. A lot more expensive to tackle than a single federal law.

WilliamR

And their gun free zones do not save lives or protect anyone. I have spoken to many gun grabbers over the years and they don’t understand that as long as firearms and the technology of firearms exist, I will have a firearm to defend my family, myself, and my constitution. Removing my right will not disarm me.

JPM

What a lying POS. I have friends who were at the Conway, Arkansas gun show and all Beto’s comments about what he said, about what was said by him and the supposed people he spoke to there are pure unadulterated bullshit. Most people wouldn’t talk to him, and if they did they told him he was full of it and some called him what he is to his face. He was asked to leave by the sponsors of the show backed up by local law enforcement which the media didn’t show or report. The Beto jokes across the show after… Read more »

I stand ready, willing and able to comply with any gun confiscation plan that a President She-shed O’Rourke would implement With one caveat. Beto himself must first take the AR I’m holding 1st. Just grab my Boomstick by the long stick thing with the hole in the end. I’ll make it easy by holding the handle thingy, with my finger on the curved flapper in front, for support. Now pull. Otherwise, the ATF, FBI, US Marshal or other LE Nazis will have to wait until the smoke and bodies are cleared, before they can get them. I believe in, love… Read more »

What’s needed now is one of the talking heads to ask O’Rourke what he’ll do when mass civil disobedience and non-compliance begins.

And what will he do with gun rights sanctuary cities, counties, and (hopefully) states?

Robert Francis O’Rourke has revealed what the Democratic Progressive, Liberal, Socialist / Communists true intention regarding the Second Amendment. O’rourtke is no better than Eric Swalwell, or any other anti gun politician whether, they are US Senator, members of Congress, state senators/assemblymen/women, etc., as well as antigun groups. All of these are SUBVERSIVES, and have been working at eradicating the 2A out of the Bill of Rights, and it’s. something they want to destroy. O’Rourke and the others advocating confiscating guns of law abiding citizens should know is against the law, we aren’t in a communist country or dictatorship .… Read more »

The socialists here are looking forward to confiscating assets of people who have earned them. China, et al have long ago done that already, so O’Rourke and his fellow travelers will never leave until they’ve picked our nation clean.

Deplorable Bill

Come and get them–yourself. Is he really any different from king George of England? Arm up, carry on.

Wallace C

Yes. Historians can only assume that King George III was insane. She-shed O’Rourke proved it in front of America.

BowserB

Yes he’s different. King George didn’t pretend to be a Mexican.

Perhaps, TheTruthHurts, you might want to recalibrate your “racism” meter. It seems to me that Bowserb46 is just pointing out that Beto is trying to use his birthplace and language skills to claim an unwarranted sense of family with people of Hispanic descent. YMMV.

TheTruthHurts

RoyD- if you could please read my response to those below, you might get a better picture of what I was trying to say.. Sorry if I am being misunderstood, but I thought made my statement to this guy a little more clearly… I Don’t Like and Won’t Allow myself to be spoken down to, or berated, if I can keep it from happening.. And I also won’t let my Race, Heritage, Nor My Fellow Americans to be Berated, if I can keep that from happening… Just who I am..

Nothing that he wrote indicated that one race or people is inherently superior to any other race or people. Nothing that Bowser wrote was even a little critical of any race or people. Nothing that he wrote applied to anyone other… Read more »

@TheTruthHurts – I read Bowserb46’s statement as being critical of Bob O’rourke. Personally I am offended by his attempt to fabricate a connection to voters of Hispanic ancestry – not because I dislike or disrespect Latinos, but because I consider Bob’s claims to be insulting to Hispanics. As someone with zero Hispanic heritage, perhaps it is wrong for me to be offended on your behalf. Will gladly drop the topic if enough latinos tell me it is not offensive to them, but for now I believe that we all have a duty to protect each other’s honor and call out… Read more »

I spent some time this weekend hanging out with some nice folks from Massachusetts. One thing I noticed is they tend to justify the gun laws enacted by their tyrant leadership as “practical” or “common sense” but in truth they have been subjectified by their tyrant leaders and legislators who have a clear agenda to disarm and subjectify US Citizens. We have a long fight ahead of us, prepare, unify and rally against this tyranny! Our rights are protected by Supreme Law (Article VI) and the rights within the Bill of Rights in the US Constitution.

Bozo the Clown is a coward. He will expect others to go door-to-door and bear the brunt of the resistance they will encounter. People will die. And… Bozo knows it will not be him.

For this reason, he cannot be elected President. This country needs a person who respects the Constitution and the rule of law. A free people will only be free if the government is afraid of them.

Littlejohn1411

Everything that comes out of that pos betos mouth are lies and typical of all these power hungry treasonous and corrupt career politicians. Every demorat on that stage obviously has mental illness and if anyone shouldn’t own firearms it’s every one of them. Someone needs to build a Gallows and park it right in front of congress. I’m so tired of these politicians thinking they own our country, they need a reminder that they work for the American people and treason needs to be dealt with the way it used too.

Whoever becomes the Democrat candidate for president will walk back the rhetoric on gun control and confiscation. Right now they are pandering to the hardliners, later they will pander to everyone! The media won’t call them out when that happens. We need a good PR firm to take on the project of keeping these statements alive during the primaries so moderate democrats are reminded of where their leaders REALLY are.

As I opined on another forum. There are 100 million + Of us in America that own an estimated 300 million + firearms and trillions of rounds of ammunition. And, you just think we’re going to gove them up or, are you all delusional enough to think you can take them?!

As has happened in the past, a blabbing liberal talking of gun control has surely provided a boost to the gun and ammo industry. I’m still using ammo and the bolt action 5.56mm rifle I bought (in case my AR became illegal) when Hillary was running on her 25% excise tax on guns and ammo. I guess it’s time to stock up again. Or should I save up for a Barrett .50 BMG to replace my confiscated AR?

I wish schools would actually teach students about the actual political philosophy behind the American Constitution and the Federalist Papers. I wish Robert O’Rourke would read these documents. Representatives are expected to understand, uphold and defend these valued institutions against erosion – whether by ignorance, corruption or foreign subterfuge.

Beto is a bald face liar. Unless he brought his own people with him so he could have this conversation at a gun store he is handing out a line of bullshit.

@TLS, I went to the gun show last Saturday. Many came in empty handed, most went out with purchases. Car sales are down, way down. Gun sales are up. America’s economy needs the firearms industry. Betoken O’ Dork is an up and coming young gun salesman. Maybe he could get a sales position at Dick’s Sporting Goods.

At least this lying piece of liberal/socialist/communist Democrat Party trash told it like the other s are thinking. Actually they will not have to go house to house–if you get caught with one in your possession (house fire, gun range or whatever) that will violate whatever law or rule they will (ultimately–just takes time) implement–unless rank and file ordinary Democrats finally see the light and cross over to save themselves and what is left of the Constitution and our country.

The AMERICAN PEOPLE are the ultimate power & authority in the United States. The Second Amendment enumerates the American Citizen’s Right & Duty to control government by force if necessary.
Unfortunately, far too many cowardly Americans want SOMEONE ELSE to do the work for them. I notice you say nothing about the American People doing anything.
Cowardice & inactivity have their consequences.

Back in 1990, lulled by the commie-lover Bill Clinton’s presidency, Dianne Feinstein said “If I had the votes, I would tell Mr. & Mrs. America ‘Turn in your guns, all of them'”.
This has been their ploy all along, ever since 1963 when the democrats got in bed with the Communist Party USA.
Democrats tell you to your face every day, they demand a communist America. The communist democrats will not allow their slaves to remain armed.

Considerthis

I haven’t been tuned into this forum very long but it is encouraging that these comments reflect some unity and brotherhood. All these comments direct disapproval toward the gun grabbers as it should be.
It is interesting that when I posted a comment before Alan Gottlieb’s comments that expressed the same evaluation, I got disapproving comments directed at me, instead of the gun grabbers.

Before anyone jumps on me again, I wish to make it clear that although Gottlieb may have come to the same conclusion that I did, I am not a CCRKBA supporter or a Gotlieb supporter.

BowserB

You’re not a supporter of Alan Gottlieb and the 2nd Amendment Foundation? I think you should be. We have other organizations lobbying and advertising. SAF actually challenges these bad laws in court, usually successfully. If there was ever a time that SAF needed our support, it is now, with cities, counties and states becoming sanctuaries for illegal aliens, while simultaneously passing unconstitutional gun restrictions. Unless you have personal assets sufficient to take your state to court when they pass a mandatory “gun buy back,” then like the rest of us you need SAF, too.

Bowserb46, Thank you for your considerate response. Many years back I maintained membership and made contributions to five gun rights organizations. CCRKBA and SAF were among them. When joe Manchin and Pat Toomey teamed up for the original “Universal Background Check” to close the “Gun Show Loophole ” and Alan Gotlieb came out in favor of it, I stopped supporting them. Currently all my support goes to Gun Owners Of America. I see that I continue to get down votes so I’m starting to think I am not really welcome here and not wanted here.
