Thread: Beto O’Rourke: If You Can Own an AR-15, Why Not a Bazooka?

  1. #1

    Exclamation Beto O’Rourke: If You Can Own an AR-15, Why Not a Bazooka?

    Fact of the matter is you can, if you're willing to jump through all the hoops and paperwork and red tape.

    And got plenty of money.


    Beto O’Rourke: If You Can Own an AR-15, Why Not a Bazooka?

    https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...not-a-bazooka/

    AWR HAWKINS 21 Sep 2019

    Democrat presidential hopeful Robert “Beto” O’Rourke responded to those who want to keep their AR-15s by asking why they do not pursue ownership of a bazooka as well.

    O’Rourke’s comment came after a gun-totting mother in Aurora, Colorado, told him that he was not taking her guns.

    O’Rourke later took to Twitter and wrote, “A woman in CO told me ‘hell no’ she won’t give back her AR-15. I listened, but by her logic: Why shouldn’t you be allowed to have a bazooka or a tank?”

    The exchange with the Colorado mother, and the subsequent emphasis on bazookas and tanks, came just over a week after O’Rourke stood at the September 12, 2019, Democrat debate and said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”

    On September 19, 2019, O’Rourke tried to calm concerns about his gun confiscation push by making clear he would not take away Americans’ hunting rifles.

    Beta is right, I should be able to own a bazooka or a tank or just about anything the military has.

    The argument makes no sense that the founders never meant weapons of war. What the hell do they think the colonists fought the American Revolution with? Every "weapon of war" in 1776 & in 1787 when the constitution was written was less advanced than a modern hunting rifle. So essentially, the right to bear arms is the right to weapons of war.

    With all this nonsense Beto has been spewing lately, it makes me wonder how he even got elected in a state like Texas in the first place. He keeps this up he might not even get reelected/elected to anything else ever again.

    You're thinking of feral hogs. I actually miss being able to hunt those in Florida, we don't have any here in Colorado...yet.

    Feral hogs are just referalized wild boar that were domesticated centuries ago.


    I also need a bazooka to hunt jackalopes.

    And that's really the crux of the issue. It simply makes no logical sense that law enforcement should be allowed to own automatic weapons, without restriction, while the citizens who pay their salaries and fund their equipment, buildings, etc. shouldn't be allowed to.

    We just call them pigs. Killed a pig last night....went huntin pigs....ran over a pig....pigs tore up my pasture....etc. People sometimes call them hogs, but if anyone calls them wild hogs or wild boars we know they're from Dallas or Yankeeville.

    From the article:

    along Colorado 96 east of Eads
    This is close to me(I'm 90 miles west of Eads along that same highway and also along the Arkansas, but upriver)...no one around here has heard of hogs in the area, the rancher behind me and his family has owned this land for well over 100 years, never seen one or signs of any. Neither have I in the 3 years I've been here.

    This article is from 2006, maybe they just never really took hold here, I dunno. I'm gonna look into hunting them here somewhere in Colorado when I get back on later.
