Robert tries to shame gun owners again
« on: September 27, 2019, 01:23:50 PM »
Robert O'Rourke was at Kent State and It seems some people showed up lawfully carrying their "assault weapons". He tried to shame them the next day by talking about how they were trying to intimidate the people there, even mentioning the fact that 4 people were killed there in 1970. Seems he forgot one small detail, those people were shot by the government, not a crazed killer. What a dipshit.

“I told them nobody should show up with an AK-47 or an AR-15 to seek to intimidate us in our own democracy."

Yeah!  Only the government should be allowed to intimidate us in our own democracy!!!

Dipshit is right. . . . .
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will... The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. ― Frederick Douglass

No American citizen should be willing to accept a government that uses its power against its own people.  -  Catherine Engelbrecht

What if they showed up with bike locks?

Nice thought. Too bad we don't live in a democracy. Dipshit swore to uphold the Constitution. He should try reading it.

This is the guy with the fake Hispanic / Spanish / Mexican nickname, right?

Yes, he pathetically claims “Beto” is a nickname he’s had since childhood but it’s really pandering to Hispanics.

Willing to bet he wasn't called Beto when he went to Woodberry Forest.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

He quite literally thinks this. Another quote from Beto, "If it is a right to be able to rise up or stand up against your government, I don't accept that, that's not my reading of the constitution."

Just my opinion but I think he is simply voicing things the overwhelming majority of our "elected rulers" of both sides of the aisle actually believe.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Samuel Adams

Has he spoken with Antifa about this? Black Lives Matter? Occupy? The ACLU? The King Center? Code Pink?  :lol:

I guess he hasn't read The Declaration of Independence--

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

A disciple of John C. Calhoun, no doubt. He is a Southern Democrat, after all.

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it, or their revolutionary right to dismember it or overthrow it.

Usually, on the Babylon Bee, the joke and punchline are right there in the headline, and the articles are filler. Not so this one.

And this was published about 6 months before O'Rourke spilled the beans on TV.

RFO stated that once the law passed, gunowners would simply handover their guns.  What was the estimated compliance rate when CT passed their "AW" registration law?  6%

That's a Bold Strategy there, Cotton...
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
