O'Rourke says mandatory gun buyback program would resonate with voters

During the presidential debate Thursday night, O'Rourke said that, if elected president, he would issue a mandatory buyback program for assault-style rifles, saying,"Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47." Asked by CNN's Alisyn Camerota on"New Day" Friday if he was concerned that his call would imperil Democrats' chances in the general election, O'Rourke said he was not.

' They recognize this is a weapon designed for war, to kill people as effectively, as efficiently, and in as great a number as possible." For decades, Democrats have avoided suggesting that the government should take back guns out of concern that such a platform would be politically toxic in much of the country.

A “mandatory buy back” is just a fancy way of saying “confiscation” which is unconstitutional

Winning issue With who?

Can't wait to see that.

No chance !!😖

What's an assault style weapon? Assault can happen with any weapon.

Mandatory = Confiscation

You opened a can of worms that you can not believe! no gun control!

It’s a confiscation.

Biden wants to decriminalize non-violent crime and this guy wants your guns. I'm pretty sure Trump is going to win again.

All 3 voters

I agree 100 percent

Not this one Bolsheviks !

Background checks Beijing records of people buying guns. No way in hell he will take them away . He stupid 😒🥴

Come try to take them!

Does with me.

“Mandatory” = confiscation.

It's about damned time somebody on the national stage said this!

My ARs are $100,000 a piece! I also have a foundry and a lower cast form... so as long as they're buying, I'll keep melting down cans and building!🤣😂🤣😂
