As Twitchy reported earlier Saturday, 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke made it clear that as president he would implement a mandatory buy-back of assault weapons. If you own an AK-47 or AR-15, “you’ll have to sell them to the government,” he told a reporter.
This was before news of the twin shootings in Odessa and Midland, Texas, as was Cory Booker’s tweet, in which he promised on Day 1 as president to crack down on gun manufacturers and close all of those dangerous gun sales loopholes.
Beginning on Day One in office, I will take executive action to reduce gun violence—closing dangerous loopholes in gun sales, cracking down on gun manufacturers, and investing in communities impacted by gun violence.

Executive action, huh? Could you be a little more specific?
So your plan is to violate our Constitutional rights as a dictator would?

Sounds that way, yes.
Who needs congress? ??♂️

Classic candidate mistake. Make a claim that gets the support of the left wing base, but will get you defeated in the general election. remember, Spartcus lost to rhe Romans.

Its the lies you spread about "dangerous loopholes in gun sales" that will keep you from higher office. No one can purchase a firearm at a gun show without a FBI NICS background check. No one can purchase a firearm online without a NICS background check. Try it and see, Spartacus

You're not going to do that, BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT BE PRESIDENT.

Save yourself a little dignity and drop out already.

What do you mean by cracking down on manufacturers?
— VHockey477 (@VHockey477) August 31, 2019
On day one you may want to focus on clean drinking water to Newark
— Butch Beals (@ButchBeals) August 31, 2019
How about making sure Newark has clean water.
