Beto’s Back, Along with His Gun Ban

U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Everyone’s least favorite adrift office-seeker is back in the national spotlight. On November 15, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke announced his candidacy for Texas governor. Should the work-shy politico secure the Democratic nomination, it would likely set up a 2022 showdown with two-term Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R). In 2018, the perennial candidate failed in an attempt to unseat U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). In 2019, Beto ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and dropped out before securing a single delegate.

Gun owners are most familiar with Beto for his flamboyant support for gun confiscation.

During the September 12, 2019, Democratic debate, Beto was asked about his proposal to confiscate commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms. Beto responded in part by saying, “hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15!” The Beto campaign would go on to sell t-shirts with the anti-gun slogan.

Less than a week later, Beto reiterated his call for gun confiscation on CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time. During an interview, Chris Cuomo asked Beto, “All right, so let’s state the proposition. Are you, in fact, in favor of gun confiscation?” Beto responded with “Yes.”

In addition to confiscating commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms, Beto has endorsed all manner of other gun restrictions.

In September 2019, Beto demanded that banks and other financial services providers stop doing business with firms that manufacture commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms. Moreover, Beto demanded that these financial institutions prevent the prospective gun purchasers from using their own credit or money to purchase lawful products. Specifically, Beto commanded,

Banks and credit card companies must:
1Refuse to take part in the sale of assault weapons.
2. Stop processing transactions for gun sales online & at gun shows without background checks.
3. Stop doing business with gun & ammo manufacturers who produce or sell assault weapons

Illustrating how out of step Beto is with the Lone Star State, in June, Texas lawmakers enacted S.B.19. The law is aimed at preventing financial institutions from discriminating against companies that produce products that help Americans exercise their Second Amendment rights. Specifically, the law prohibits governmental entities from contracting with financial institutions that discriminate against “a firearm, firearm accessory, or ammunition manufacturer, distributor, wholesaler, supplier, or retailer,” a sport shooting range, or a firearm trade association.

Beto was also the only presidential candidate to endorse the gun control “Peace Plan” put forth by David Hogg and his associates at March for Our Lives. The plan’s tenets included, “reexamine the District of Columbia v. Heller interpretation of the Second Amendment,” annual gun licensing, a federal ban on commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms and their magazines, and “a reduction of our domestic firearm stock by at least 30%.”

The two-time failure hasn’t backed off his gun confiscation stance since announcing his gubernatorial bid. Speaking with the Texas Tribune for an item to coincide with his campaign announcement, Beto stated, “I think most of us also understand that we should not have military-style weapons used against our fellow Texans.” The candidate also criticized recent changes to Texas law that respect the rights of law-abiding Texans to carry a firearm for self-defense without having to acquire government permission.

In addition to Beto’s seeming desire to extend his political losing streak, some might also be confused by how Beto has the time to run for office. After all, voters were promised that Beto would have an important role in tackling guns for the Biden administration.

At a March 2, 2020 campaign rally in Dallas, Beto endorsed Biden for president. Sharing the stage with his former rival, Biden stated, “I want to make something clear. I’m going to guarantee you this is not the last you’ll see of this guy.” Biden went on say, “You’re going to take care of the gun problem with me. You’re going to be the one who leads this effort. I’m counting on ya.”

Following the campaign event, Biden and Beto went to local burger chain Whataburger, where the septuagenarian continued to heap praise on Beto’s anti-gun advocacy. Speaking about Beto and gun control, Biden stated, “This guy changed the face of what we’re dealing with regarding guns, assault weapons… and I just want to warn [Beto’s wife] that if I win I’m coming for him.”

Of course, Biden never came for him. That could reasonably be chalked up to the befuddled president’s waning memory. It might also be the case that given the strong opposition to Biden’s radical ATF Director nominee, gun control lobbyist David Chipman, posting an even more toxic figure to an administration post would have proved even more untenable.

Going forward, NRA-ILA will continue to follow Beto’s splashy but shallow political career. Moreover, NRA-ILA will work to inform Texans as to the perennial candidate’s history of support for radical gun control, lest they be made to suffer this egotist’s tenure.

He has failed at everything else. He was not even a skillful burglar. He married into a very wealthy, very libtard family, and lives off of their money. He almost has to keep running for some office to stay in their good graces.

ras52

Bucktooth Bozo, that`s a good name for him!

Mystic Wolf

Heck I just call him betti rourke, that fits him as well, he looks like a betti.

Wild Bill

Betti! That is funny!

ras52

Yes,that suits him/her well!

The perfect Marxist democrat paradigm. Tells us how to live, while living on someone else’s money.

That’s what we said about brain-dead Joe too. Be careful with those mail-in ballots.

Let him be at the DOOR FIRST, and have a GOOD STOCK OF BODYBAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wild Bill

I’m just gonna throw a loop around one of his ankles and pull the skateboarder into the forest. The coyotes would be sitting around picking their teeth and too full to waddle away. And a fine Thanksgiving Day was had by all.

Finnky

Love the coyotes in our neighborhood. They deserve a break from their primary diet of rats, rabbits, skunks and cats.

Would guess Robert Francis O’Rourke wouldn’t really be a break from eating rats though.

WI Patriot

So, when he loses this time he’ll quit politics for good…???
3 strikes and you’re out, right…???

Autsin Miller III

No, it won’t be HIS fault, he’s a demoncrat, they never accept responsibility. He will just keep running his mouth about how special he is.

Mystic Wolf

Yeah he is a special kind of turd, a dog turd, he should quit while the quitting is good, he does not deserve to be in office because he will become a tyrant overnight and you can bet the creep will trample on every ones rights. That betti rourke hates the rights we have.

swmft

special is the word that replaced the descriptive phrase mentally retarded ,and it fits him to a T ard

Aardvark

Personally I am glad he is sticking to his guns (pun intended). I am tired of worn out politicians outright lying saying they support the Second Amendment and then do everything they can to eliminate it when they get elected. If Beto came out and said he had a change of heart and now supported gun rights, a lot of people would unfortunately believe him. Better he sticks to his failed narrative so people know for certain where he stands.

Well, the communist, Marxist, socialists at the top of government in those countries all thrived. It was at the cost of everyone else that had to go without.

Of course it’s good to be King. Unless your were a family member of the the Czar Nicolas Romanov. Who was really behind his assassination ? What significance happened to the Ottoman Empire after his planned demise ? Why are Wahhabi Arabs aligned with AshkeNAZI Zionist’s ? Why did a Sunni Islamist organization founded in Egypt by Islamic scholar and schoolteacher Hassan al-Banna in 1928 align himself with Hitler in WWll ? & Why did Muslims serve in the Waffen 10th Handshar Division ? Why would Nazi’s & Muslim’s be allies ? Why is Mein Kampf the second most popular… Read more »

Well, those totalitarian regimes all relied on armed government employees to do their bidding.

Constitution-abiding non-government employees should not give armed government employees their unequivocal support.

Who are the ones in Australia that are enforcing lockdowns?

Who has enforced tens of thousands of gun control laws (that are even more onerous than the federal laws in many states) in the United States for decades?

Does it make any difference if the person who is violating the rights of a “civilian” is an employee of a federal law enforcement agency, the DOD, or a local law enforcement agency?

“We were just following orders” has been the “Nuremberg Code” (aka Eisenberg Defense) protocol dogma gestalt for how many centuries now ? Since Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion – Rome – Nimrod – Zoroastrian (Zoroaster approx 9,000 B.C.) – Babylon – Canaanite’s – Indus Valley Civilization’s Vishnu/Vajra Kaste/Caste system ? Since academia’s scholarly levels of gnosis/knowledge transcripts of ancient ledgers of record show the Metal workers who knew the Alchemical secret formulas to integrate Tin/Copper/Bronze/Iron alloys/amalgamates into tools create wealth ?

100% true.

This is an interesting video below from a civilzation some 60,000 yrs old or so.

Perhaps the NRA could recoup some of the many millions Pilfered by Wayne and company, and use the funds as they were intended… sue the United States government to revoke the NFA, restoring citizens’ Constitutionally protected gun rights for a change, rather than negotiating our rights away like it did when Congress first passed the NFA, the GCA, the hughes amendment, etc.

Montana454Casull

He is trying to stay relevant but he is beating a dead horse . HELL NO ! NOBODY WANTS THIS CLOWN IN CHARGE OF ANYTHING ! Just ride off into to the sunset idiot and pretend you are important we all know better !

Wild Bill

If he did the rich family that he married into might kick him out, and if he did ride off into the sunset, he might be replaced by someone that could get elected. Why not let the little fraud waste democrat funds. Stupid enemies are hard to find.

Deplorable Bill

Beto never learns. Just because a weapon LOOKS scary does not make it a machine gun nor is it illegal but it might make a criminal take pause. The AR-15, America’s rifle, is, in itself, a symbol of freedom and lives saved. Just this past week we have seen the trial of an untrained teenager as he used his AR 15 in self defense righteously and successfully and on video to boot. If he had brought only a bolt action rifle it is more than likely he would also be dead and that is a fact. Parts of what makes… Read more »

bobby frank is already acting like he is the governor elect when he hasn’t even gotten the dem nomination. He spouts a bunch of flowery garbage but has absolutely NO follow up plans. BTW – he served one full term as a US Rep and part of a second, does anyone know why he didn’t complete that second term? His stellar (and only) piece of legislation he managed to get passed was naming a courthouse. Come to think of it, it is probably a good thing he didn’t have more successes.

Please, oh, please. Send Butto O’Dork as the first one through the gun confiscation door.

This guy is a F__KING moron! Nothing more than a leech on society! FOX ‘snooze’ said he continually runs for office so he can live off of campaign contributions! I THOUGHT that was illegal!
