\nFormer Presidential Candidate and Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke<\/p>\n
Remember when former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke gave a staunch defense of his gun control plan during a Democratic presidential primary debate, saying that as president, he would prioritize mandatory buybacks of assault-style weapons?<\/p>\n
Quoting the candidate’s past comment about selling back AR-15s and AK-47s, moderator David Muir asked O’Rourke: “Are you proposing taking away their guns? And how would this work?”<\/p>\n
O’Rourke answered, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.”<\/p>\n
“I am, if it’s a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefield. If the high-impact, high-velocity round, when it hits your body, shreds everything inside of your body, because it was designed to do that, so that you would bleed to death on a battlefield and not be able to get up and kill one of our soldiers.<\/em><\/p>\n When we see that being used against children, and in Odessa, I met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an AR-15, and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa and Midland, there weren’t enough ambulances to get to them in time. Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47. We’re not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.”<\/em><\/p>\n Guess who Loopy Uncle Joe wants to head up his gun control program?<\/p>\n By: AWR HAWKINS<\/strong><\/p>\n During a Monday evening campaign stop in Dallas, Texas, Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden said Robert \u201cBeto\u201d O\u2019Rourke will \u201cbe the one who leads\u201d Biden\u2019s gun control push.<\/p>\n O\u2019Rourke, for his part, endorsed Biden for president, saying, \u201cThe man in the White House today poses an existential threat to this country. To our democracy. To free and fair elections. And we need somebody who can beat him. And in Joe Biden, we have that man.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Great choice, Joe. I’m sure the 1\/3 of the NRA that are Democrats are paying attention.
