Ahead of debate, Beto O’Rourke returns to Texas doubling down on gun control

Hours before the third Democratic presidential debate Thursday in Houston, former Rep. Beto O’Rourke has returned to Texas with a new call looking to stir the night’s conversation on gun violence: telling banks and credit card companies to stop processing assault weapons sales and firearm transactions without a background check.

Additionally, he is calling on these financial institutions to deny services to all gun and ammunition manufacturers that produce or sell assault weapons. This call appears to be the first of its kind among the Democratic candidates. O’Rourke suspended his campaign operations then and returned to the trail nearly two weeks later as the first candidate to call for a mandatory government buyback of every assault weapon in the United States. A September ABC News/Washington Post poll shows 52 percent of Americans support such a program.

The campaign has worked to position itself as the most aggressive on the gun violence issue, from driving a conversation on a policy-front with his buy-back program to using blunt, and sometimes profane language to make his intentions clear.

And no one at questions BernieSanders on voting against the Brady bill, ready for this.... FIVE TIMES! Anyone caring about gun safety should not be supporting Bernie! TheDemocrats DemDebateTSU DemDebates

Clearly ridiculous Beto.

WilliamAmos They don't. You need the background check to do the transaction.

Already done so...done

Basicly Robert wants to control what we buy if government doesn’t like it.

I love Beto. He should be polling ahead of Bernie Sanders.

Banks and Credit Card Companies:

Suddenly a lot of gun dealers will be selling a lot of $600 “hammers”

You'd drive it to an all cash business. Then there will be no records held.

This guy is a dictator in training

If we throw a stick, will he leave?....🤦🏽‍♀️

So a second background check? By your bank?
