Firearms Background Check Run On Beto & Our Federal Government Results in FAIL

Opinion

Fayetteville, AR – -(AmmoLand.com)- In a discussion that I was a part of over the weekend on Beto O’Rourke’s belief that he will be someday able to require law-abiding owners of “assault weapons” to sell them to the government—often erroneously called a buyback—the point was raised that O’Rourke’s criminal record would prevent him from possessing firearms.

He was arrested on two separate occasions. One charge was declined by the prosecutor, while the other, a DWI arrest, was dismissed. O’Rourke was sent to a “misdemeanor diversion program,” which his record shows he completed. The alcohol-related charge against him means that if he wishes to own a firearm legally in Texas, he’ll need to ask the state to review the case.

But, of course, O’Rourke’s proposal doesn’t involve selling guns that he finds icky to him. Instead, the government would be the mandated purchaser. According to gun control advocates, every transfer of a firearm must be done with a background check, and in the interests of consistency, I will run just such a check on the would-be buyer, our Government, here.
