No, Sen. Schumer, gun confiscation talk is exactly the reason to stop ‘universal’ background checks:

Only because Beto is telling the truth and saying it out loud in public.

An absolute ban would end the political wrangling that is the bread and butter of all the players in the gun debate, both pro and con. (Of course it also wouldn't be effective, but that's another story.) Keeping the gun issue alive is what brings in the contributions. Whole careers have been built on this. That's why the professional players in this don't want complete success (in either direction). They would love to still be arguing about guns 50 or100 years from now. Beto apparently didn't get the memo.

On the down side, the most recent agreement to considering taking all semi-autos shows that Beto is learning and now understands that "assault rifle" is just an appearance, not a functional description. We're better off if he stays dumb.
Gotta hand it to Beto, I didn't think he looked strong enough to carry another person around, even if it was challenging. And at elevation no less. Dude's been hitting the gym.

I’m ashamed he’s an American.
He wants to be a totalitarian dictator who controls our basic freedoms, or rather removes them.
Disarming the population is one of the first things the nazis did, isn’t it?
What else would he want to limit? Voting. Rights to peaceful protest? Speech?
Socialists should be deported as far as I’m concerned. Their talk of taking away the freedom of Americans and their right to self defense is treason.
Yes, I’m angry.
why is every one worring about beto? he is a nobody and never will be in power of any kind. most dont know he is far richer than trump. thats why he can shoot his stupid mouth off, he has the money to keep doing it. concentrate on the ones that can move forward, beto is just gas passed in in hard wind. he even looks weird. would you want his genes mixed with your daughters?
Quoted for truth.
Furthermore, lots of people who are actually 2A supporters are not paying attention, they think they can "compromise" and let the camel get his nose under the tent with "universal background checks" and other "common sense" encroachments, but they are being duped. They are actually helping tear down the 2A. It's idiotic to think that the gun control crowd would stop with their "common sense" regulations. No way. Fortunately, more and more of them have started to admit that a total ban is their end goal.

I knew a guy who was getting headaches. He ignored it and took over the counter drugs. It was a small problem.
A year and a half later he was on his second brain surgery to remove tumors, and it still came back and killed him.
If ignored, small problems can become big problems.

Wouldn't the proper spelling of his name be Beta in South Texas?

It isn't so much Beto I would worry about. That philosophy of his -- "we're coming to take your guns!!!" -- is something we have believed they want all along, and now the contenders are jumping on that band wagon ..... "ban wagon"
.... openly. Beto may be yesterday's news .... but tomorrow's news maybe the same in a different package.

In a perverse way I sort of like this clown. He just keeps digging his hole deeper but while doing so he's waking up people to what is actually in store for us if Democrats gain control of the country. Unlike the republicans they won't sit on their hands and waffle. Shumer, Pelosi, and that other old hag from California will be in hog heaven as they come for our guns. Then they will be able to do as they wish with us. Any one notice what has happened to Venezuela after they turned in their guns?
That post took quite a turn.
Careful friend. We only get so much emotional bandwidth, and if we waste it in the wrong places it can turn into the sort of stress that will literally end a man's life early. I don't want that for you, and for pro-rights people the fight is not yet won.
Beto has never been, and is not now, a serious contender for the highest office in the land. Don't stress.
He reminds me of just about every old cartoon villain. You can see his demise coming before he can. But it’s still enjoyable to watch.
When he first started this crap, I was somewhat enraged. Then all the other candidates jumped on in a race to not be out “lefted”. Now I’m just sitting back and enjoying the show. He really is a tool (common vernacular today). But he’s a useful tool. He exposed the Democrat’s plan that we’ve known all along. He’s actually a whistleblower. Trump should tweet, after his 2020 landslide, how appreciative he is to Francis for handing him his victory.

Appreciated.
Lost a friend/employee to suicide this week. Emotions are running high for me.

"Isn't it time to get rid of all semi-auto firearms?" O'Rourke responded, HE IS OPEN TO THAT. (And not just AR15s and AK47s he mentioned in his iconic rant, ALL SEMI-AUTO FIREARMS, including handguns!)
Good luck not dying in the civil war.

Actually, from the point of view of the antigunners, his sin is that he's telling the truth. There's no hiding their ultimate goal any more, which is to confiscate guns. They wanted to preserve their deniability for a while longer.

And increasing number of people, even Democrats/Liberals/Progressives are now saying they really don't want an absolute ban of every gun (Really? Now they are walking back/back peddling and saying this? And why?)
BECAUSE HOW ELSE ARE THEY GOING TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM DANGEROUS/VIOLENT PEOPLE?
That's right, once you ban guns, criminals/gangbangers, the dangerous and violent people, will still be around and they will likely act worse if they know their victims are not armed ...
It's like being circled by hungry wolves, coyotes, hyenas, etc. and the only thing protecting you and keeping you from being attacked/eaten is the torch fire you have in your hands. Gun ban/confiscation is like blowing out the torch fire ... Once the fire is out, you are dinner.
And what O'Rourke said in Colorado yesterday is making everyone realize what blowing out the torch fire means ... loss of freedom and liberty, which the founders fought for and sacrificed so as to ensure that OUR freedom and liberty were PROTECTED, by adding the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights/US Constitution.
The Second Amendment ultimately is about ensuring our freedom and liberty from tyrannical forces that want to impose their will on our rights and take away our freedom and liberty. Once our rights are taken away, next to go WILL BE our freedom and liberty. (Just look around the world/look back on history where this has already happened the past two hundred years - Sadly, there are many examples)
Our founders knew/worried law makers could become corrupt and not represent the will of the people and therefore set up our government with three branches so when one/two branch(es) misbehaved, the other one/two would/could apply checks and balances like how President Trump and soon The US Supreme Court, to undo/overturn the unconstitutional laws state/federal law makers wrote and passed for decades in violation of the US Constitution (Some of which already have been overturned by various federal courts and the Supreme Court. Yes, many unconstitutional state/federals laws HAVE BEEN OVERTURNED).
This is why Trump needs to be/will be re-elected so he can fulfill his destiny of continuing to appoint the numerous federal court judges and replacement Supreme Court justices to protect and preserve not just the Second Amendment but the rest of Bill of Rights and the "original" intent of the Constitution as justice Gorsuch clearly pointed out - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...with-question-on-the-second-amendment.856201/
"I am an originalist ... We have a written constitution that our founder wrote down ... They made a charter among 'We the people' ... This is what we agreed to as to what the government's powers are and what they are not ... What our rights are. Originalists ... honor what's written there. Honor those words ... Don't make stuff up and don't take things away. That's the idea"
And the Supreme Court, God willing, will protect and preserve the Bill of Rights, all of them, by enforcement.
"Bill of Rights and liberty ... Bill of Right is a set of promises on paper ... What makes a promise worth the words on paper is the enforcement mechanisms behind it ... Our Bill of Rights is excellent.
... Judges are the backstop to ensure rights and liberties, that is our job"
