Beto made it very clear in last nights debate that he WILL confiscate AR/AK style firearms if elected President in 2020. How he does it remains to be seen but if the liberals pull this off what direction do you think this country will head?

Pretty bold play by him but in a few months he will be as irrelevant as a fart in the wind. He is forgetting that the majority of the left isn’t crazy just like the majority of the right isn’t. Polling numbers will give a better picture but he couldn’t win a senate election in Texas, he isn’t going to get the presidential nomination by cussing, saying the country is racist, bragging about his white privilege, and openly defying the constitution.

National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a Para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group’s organizers as “criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any individual who has interfered with the government’s efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that “none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily.” Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government’s plans. During a tense standoff in the Lexington town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange. Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed mob, ordered a retreat. Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John Hancock, who have been identified as “ringleaders” of the extremist faction, remain at large.

He just wrote off his chances at the VP nod and also lost any chance at beating Cornyn (which was already going to be a long-shot). He'll probably make the remaining debates because of name ID. However, he is now toxic in any general election and the upper echelons of the DNC know it.
Thanks, Rich

Yep, even CNN is saying he just helped Republicans big time.

I watched the clip. There was a couple actually jumping up and down when he really ramped up the volume. The woman was having an out of body experience I'm pretty sure. These are the whack-jobs that will be the problem. They think it's "us against them" and they have no problem with jack booted thugs coming in and taking stuff away from anyone different than them. No understanding of the Constitution whatsoever. These types sent Jews to concentration camps.

He is desperate to appear to be relevant. He is not.
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

I am afraid that a lot of people like that wacko. As a Conservative I would like to think that his extreme leftist agenda and comments would make him irrelevant, but a lot of people cheered and applauded his comments. He actually speaks what the others want and probably would try to do. Now any of the other extremist will seem moderate when they talk of other gun regulations.

He couldn’t carry Texas against Cruz and he had all kinds of outside support. He’s proven he thinks the far left will carry the party but it won’t.
