Thanks for the link. I agree with Mr Raymond that Beto made a huge tactical blunder that the rest of the Dem party will now have a hard time evading. They will have to agree with him and lose gun owner votes or disagree with him and lose leftist base votes. The charade of "sensible" gun control is melting away.
He was never viable, he's just out there to shift the Overton window. I'm afraid he'll be successful unless we make the word Democrat so toxic that none get elected outside of California and New York.
Actually they have spent decades dancing around the radioactive subject of confiscation while everyone knows that is their ultimate goal. Show a single reference of a Dem candidate calling for confiscation before this. Beto was stupid enough to say it out loud which is why I believe the DNC will make him disappear.

Okay.
“Banning guns is an idea whose time has come.” ~ Senator Joseph Biden; AP interview; November 18, 1993
“I don’t care about crime, I just want to get the guns.” ~ Senator ✡Howard Metzenbaum✡; 1994
”If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them: ‘Mr. and Mrs. America, turn ‘em all in!’ I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren’t here.” ~ Senator ✡Diane Feinstein✡; 60 Minutes; February 5, 1995

I don't think so. I think it's planned. Hegelian dialectic.

Why? They’re all on record for decades saying they want total confiscation. No one does a goddamn thing about it.
