Former Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary turned 2020 presidential candidate Julian Castro appears to be taking a play out of Sen. Kamala Harris' (D-CA) gun control playbook. Over the last few months, Harris has made it very clear that if elected president, she would give Congress 100 days to take up "common sense" gun legislation (translation: gun control). If they fail to act, she would use executive action to make her gun control agenda a reality.

During an interview on NBC News, Castro reiterated a similar position.

"If I were president right now I would do two things: first of all, I would maximize our executive authority to do what I can to keep our families safer from gun violence. For instance, we would immediately redefine who is a firearms dealer so that anyone who sells more than five firearms in a year is classified that way and has to conduct universal background checks," Castro said. "We would also push legislation in Congress to get common sense gun safety legislation done. [We would] put as much pressure as possible on swing state Republican senators who are up for re-election in 2020 to get them to go with something that we can compromise on, at least universal background checks. I think we can do more than that in the future."

According to Castro, politicians repeatedly promise to "do something" about mass shootings but there's always inaction.

Hoolian is describing his planned tyranny. Oh the irony!

[Wingnut]

Julie, bubby, we know you're a white knight. but tell me again how "Universal BGC's" would have stopped this last act by a mentally disturbed person?

[Free Vulcan]

You can't talk about mass shootings and taking guns while you're for open borders and letting tens of millions of foreigners stream in to jump on welfare and jack up the crime rate.

Illegal immigrants kill more Americans than rifles.

The Left doesn't care about that. What it wants are the guns of law abiding gun owners that are sitting there doing nothing.

It is and always was about disarmament. The more candidates like Castro speak, the more they justify our fears.

[roamer_1]

It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you...

And them that do not know history are doomed to repeat it.

Exactly.  The left has an agenda; disarm the American people so that they can dismantle the Constitution and replace our Republic with socialism.

First refuge of a Rat scoundrel:  Accuse your opponent of being mentally ill.  Stalin would be proud of his cultural spawn.

[skeeter]

And of course being mentally ill they cannot be allowed to possess firearms.

Circular leftwing reasoning.

Circular leftwing reasoning.

Circular logic is very economic:  One only needs to think of something just one time, then reuse every turn of the circle.  It beats thinking.

You know what...this probably won't surprise you...but I agree with that he said in that article

"I agree that there are a certain percentage that somehow fear that one day the government is gonna try and takeover the entire country somehow and they're going to need their weapons but that's actually a minority of people out there. That's not a majority of people," he said.

I think that's true

I don't think it's true any longer.   You are vastly underestimating how many folks have been closely observing how radical the Democrat leftist party has become.   American patriots that are sick and tired of being called racists for stating truths, of being called white supremists for being "not colored", and of America being blamed for every ill on the planet, while other nations, especially Muslim and Communist nations, are given a complete and total PASS by these same radical leftist azholes.   I suspect that these same folks will vote, en masse, next year to show you just how underestimated they have been.

Do you also agree that Second Amendment supporters are "paranoid?"

[txradioguy]

I think that's true

We've got the track record of the Federal Government to justify the sense...no...the reality that they are becoming ever more tyrannical with each passing day.

So what part of "shall not infringe" is confusing to you exactly?

Nah...you gotta think about it.

This country has 300+ Million ppl

138 Million voted in 2016 so that's about half. The other half is either too young to vote or doesn't care enough.

of that 138, Hillary and Donald split the votes nearly 50/50

so that leaves 60+ million that voted Trump

of those voters. Even if all of those people "fear that one day the government is gonna try and takeover the entire country somehow and they're going to need their weapons", that's the minority.

[Chosen Daughter]

Yeah I bet that's what people though in Nazi Germany too.

But a future without guns is not a safe future.  If people want to kill they will kill.  This just in from China hours ago.

You forgot to add "In my opinion"...cause that's all that is.

You forgot to ass "In my opinion"...cause that's all that is.

You got the "as" part spelled correctly

Here's the bad news for the idiot left.   The more radically left the Democrats go, the more mainstream and patriotic Americans will get off their dead azzes next November and show up at the polls to keep the rats from winning.  Earth to Leftists:  Choke on that reality.

Oh my! 

My fingers got ahead of my brain on that one LOL!

That may very well be the case. I think that's why the establishment Dems are pushing Biden.

[Wingnut]

I read it as "Add"!  lol
but it was a nice faux pas .....

[txradioguy]

Biden can barely remember his name or what city he's in on a day to day basis.  He's the best of a bad option for the Dems and no matter how you look at it...it spells defeat for your fellow Dems.
