Surrendering your firearm , because of violence , which has been committed by others is kinda like ...
Not driving your car because of car accidents , caused by someone else.
If you handle your firearm safely , then you are not the problem.
Just like if drive safely.
A friend who worked at the Employment Dept, (OR) told me it takes about 10,000 man-hours/year to correct SS accounts because of this problem, so the "extra" money is not exactly all gravy. It has costs attached.Illegal aliens often have SS numbers - they forge documents/etc., but the number has to be a real one or the payroll dept. gets a hit from the gov. and the alien gets let go, maybe even reported.
So they take someone else's # and pay into that account. They usually don't try to take benefits (unless it is for disability) as that would raise a red flag when more than one person tries to claim benefits - but they do pay into it. The gov probably doesn't care because it is more money coming into SSI to prop up the system.
It gets a bit more complicated when they file tax returns, as then you got two or more people asking for a refund - unless they don't ask for a refund. Not totally sure about that - again, maybe they don't file a return, and the gov walks away with the taxes they paid and doesn't care. I know a guy who had someone file returns with his identity and it really messed up his taxes for a number of years, it is still a pain for him as he has to go thru extra hassle every year to file as his account has been flagged.
But there are millions of illegals doing this, so it definitely has its plus side. I can't speak to the exact pluses and minuses, but my bet is that most who put money into the system, via SSI or taxes, probably don't try to get that money back - they would be admitting to fraud, and/or trying to commit fraud again.A friend who worked at the Employment Dept, (OR) told me it takes about 10,000 man-hours/year to correct SS accounts because of this problem, so the "extra" money is not exactly all gravy.

How trueAn observation.
Please understand that what a politician says and what they actually think are often two different things.
Most are liars, but most understand that what they are saying is a lie - an ends to a means.
No politician thinks we will actually all turn in our firearms if they are banned or the gov offers to buy them. They know that a significant percentage won't. They also know that such legislation would face considerable opposition when it comes time to vote on it and that there is a strong chance it wouldn't pass.
This is just typical politics; say something popular to get elected.
What do they have to lose?
If it doesn't pass they can blame the opposition. If it does pass then they got what they want, even if it doesn't work (which it never does) and then they can say they need even more gun control laws.
So no, 'Beto' doesn't think we will surrender our ARs/etc. - he thinks it gives him a shot at being elected for something more than dog catcher.

He swallowed that bait hook line and sinker. He should just STFU instead of giving them fuel for their fireAnd some turdsucking whiner soytards are already screaming for him to be Red Flagged over it.
Beta is a poser .He is easy to see through .he's a waist of stage and airtime.
How a Texan ended up a California wannabe is stifling.

As some have noted here, liberals are moving to other states.
There was a piece on this on OPB yesterday - about emigration from the cities to less densely populated areas - mostly from the east to west and south, by upwardly mobile progressives, bringing their political attitudes with them. Significant mention was made of this regarding the political aspects of turning red states blue or purple.
