“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” O’Rourke said, bringing one of the biggest applause lines of the night so far.
When the Democratic presidential debate turned to gun control, former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke became emotional as he told of meeting a woman who watched her daughter bleed to death after a mass shooting. There were too many victims, he said, and not enough ambulances after the attack in Odessa, Texas.
Those weapons should not just be banned from sale but taken away from their owners, he told the audience in Houston. But after the recent mass shootings, O’Rourke has pressed an even tougher line: mandatory gun buybacks for the types of semiautomatic rifles often used in deadly attacks. In other words, an unapologetic government confiscation program, which would have been taboo for a Democratic presidential candidate a generation ago.
