Beto O’Rourke: ‘Hell yes we’re going to take your AR-15’
Presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke stood by his call for a mandatory government buyback program for AK-47 and AR-15 rifles during Thursday night’s presidential primary debate in Houston, saying “Hell yes” the government would take the firearms from their owners.
“I am,” the former Texas congressman responded, “if it’s a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefield.” Speaking earlier this month in Charlottesville, Va., O’Rourke introduced his proposal: “Americans who own AR-15s, AK-47s, will have to sell them to the government. We’re not going to allow them to stay on our streets, to show up in our communities, to be used against us in our synagogues, our churches, our mosques, our Walmarts, our public places.”
