Beto Would Risk Another Waco – IOTW Report

Beto Would Risk Another Waco

American Thinker: In an interview with “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough on MSNBC on Wednesday, presidential candidate Peter Francis O’Rourke admitted that, yes, he was willing to pry your AR-15 from your cold dead hands. As Townhall.com reports:

Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said “there have to be consequences” for gun owners who do not surrender their AR-15s, which would include police going to their homes and confiscating them…

“OK, but let’s just assume there’s a rancher in Texas that doesn’t, that says, ‘I’m not going to do this because this is an unjust law and it’s unconstitutional.’ What’s the next step? I think that’s what we need to concede because there will be people that don’t turn the guns back in. What’s the next step for the federal government there?” Scarborough asked.

“Yeah, I think just as in any law that is not followed or flagrantly abused, there have to be consequences or else there is no respect for the law,” O’Rourke replied. “So you know, in that case I think there would be a visit by law enforcement to recover that firearm and to make sure that it is purchased, bought back so that it cannot be potentially used against somebody else.”

First of all, Beto, just what law would that be?

  1. with the cartels taking over whole towns just a hundred miles south of the border, I need my guns and I shan’t give them up.
    If you want Lazlo’s muskets, you better send bachelors with plenty of ammo

  2. What happens when they think I’ve got that gun, but I really don’t? They have every right to flip my house inside out to search for it? Then I should be able to sue the piss for unlawful search. Or are they just going to purchase what was my tidy house back from me?

  3. When the godfather sends some hit man after you you’re screwed.

    If you manage to escape the first one he’ll just keep sending another and then another until he gets you.

    Resistance if futile.

    > O’Rourke, who is currently polling at 3%, says yadda yadda yadda

    I thought “It only took a patriotic 3% of Americans to rout the British Empire”?

  5. The only thing good to come out of Waco is that Janet Reno is dead, and it caused a tit-for-tat bombing. Ruby Ridge was another up yours tragedy. The public that is armed knows what the government is capable of doing. Stand your ground. It’s impossible to confiscate every firearm and ammo from American citizens without a great deal of blood shed.

    Sitting there, on the couch, waiting for those that call you “enemy” to make their grand entrance…? True. But as long as the couch riders, the III%, the Oath Keepers, and all the other patriots, insist on making it one sided… just another day at the slaughterhouse. For the III%, the Oath Keepers, and all the other patriots.

  7. I would love to see bito, since he wants it so bad, to go out for a photo shoot, which he loves so much, and try to take some law abiding citizens legal firearm.

    Go ahead and try it bito, you will get a lot of innocent citizens, and a lot of law enforcement officers killed.

    But, since you believe in abortion until it is time for euthanasia, you won’t care.

    If you want to push it, the deplorables say bring it on soy boy.

  8. Red Flag Law will result in most posters on this board being listed as a confiscation target…so, do we cower and not express our opinion ? Some might take that route, others will not and face the wrath of Progressives and their Laws..Molon Labe, let slip the dogs of war, as the Left is serious about enslaving us to their whims..

  9. This Soy is a serious threat to OUR Republic…what is left of it, with comments like this from the Imbecilic Marxists.

    Least HE be the one to accompany those officers when they start trying ‘stunts’ like that. Let him be at the front door OR have the balls to go in through the back door, even more dangerous.

    Wow. I had hoped that most posters on this board had never volunteerd for a list.

  11. As I recall. Early this summer 4 Philly PD went to serve a warrant on a drug dealer. He had an AR16 and opened fire. Standoff ensued that lasted 8 hours. Dozens of cop cars and SWAT. Maybe 50 police. Guy finally surrendered. Neighbors cheered him and heckled the police.

    Now, with 12 million AR owners and even only 10% resisting the jackboots would have the above situation happen 1.2 million times. They would also have to conduct all those seizures at the same time lest the owners hide their weapons.

    It would never work, ever.

  12. …remember thus advice for how to deal with the Betos of the world…

    “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
