Beto: Gun Owners Will Willingly Hand Over Their Firearms
Beto O’Rourke said Saturday in New Hampshire that he expects American gun owners to willingly hand over their firearms under his promised mandatory buyback program.
The Democratic presidential candidate and former Texas congressman declared last week following a mass shooting in West Texas, “This is f—ed up.” He also reiterated that if elected president he would “institute a mandatory buyback of every assault weapon in America.” He then went on to create and attempt to sell shirts with his ‘f-ed up’ statement.
The Washington Examiner questioned O’Rourke about his planned buyback at this weekend’s New Hampshire Democratic Party Convention. He denied planning to send police to gun owners’ homes.
“No. I don’t see the law enforcement going door to door. I see Americans complying with the law. I see us working with gun owners, non-gun owners, local, county, state, federal law enforcement to come up with the best possible solution. I have yet to meet an owner of an AR-15 who thinks it’s OK that we have these kind of mass killings in this country,” he said.
Pressed on what he would do if gun owners did not comply as he anticipated, O’Rourke said: “How do you — how do we enforce any law? There’s a significant reliance on people complying with the law. You know that a law is not created in a vacuum.”
He added: “You’ll have the input of members of Congress who are going to reflect their constituents’ interests, and at the end of the day, I agree to get to a solution that protects your Second Amendment rights while protecting the lives of everyone in this country.”
