Beto O’Rourke: Gunmakers Will Fund AR-15 Buybacks
CBS News’s Tim Perry asked, “How much do you think a mandatory gun buyback would cost taxpayers?”


O’Rourke responded:
I think a mandatory buyback can be financed with a surcharge that would be paid by gun manufacturers, those who are making the AR-15s and AK-47s and continue to sell them into our communities despite the terror that they’ve inspired and the lives that have been taken.

O’Rourke said his surcharge would fund a buyback “without imposing any new taxes on…Americans.”


He did not mention that the surcharge would raise the price of the firearm, the equivalent of a new tax.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation calculates there are 16 million-plus privately owned AR-15s in the U.S

Not really following his logic. Maybe it’s me. But he expects the gun manufacturers to continue to sell AR15s and AK47s but with a surcharge that will be used to buy them back? Not sure how that effectively reduces the overall number of the guns.
And he must have gone to the same school of economics as AOC.

If these firearms were banned, why would manufacturers still be making them to begin with? Then taking the money from the sales and buying the guns back?

Robert Francis is an idiot.

Just another back marker has been. He is only making noise to fundraise for a Senate or gubernatorial campaign run.

The fact that this whack job and others comparable to him have a nationally broadcast voice and it is given gravitas by those in big media shows me that we should never take this fool and his like for granted. The betrayal goes way deeper than these tools.

I'm sure there are a lot of NPCs that hear this and think it's a perfectly reasonable premise and solution.

Except when that ignorance is willful and violent in its attempts to remain in said state. Weaponized ignorance, militant in its abject lack of knowledge and understanding, yet driven in some manic fashion to act regardless.

I do believe that the version of "buy back" he will offer is a $25 walmart gift card

So...the Leftist moron wants to fund an initiative to remove MSRs from private ownership by taxing sales of MSRs to private owners. His program can thus only be funded successfully if large numbers of MSRs are sold into the civilian market. Which will require more "buybacks," then require more funds to purchase private firearms, so more sales of rifles will be needed to fund the government purchases...and....repeat the circle.

Idiot.
