Former congressman Beto O'Rourke doubled down on his controversial stance on gun control, declaring on Wednesday night he is in favor of gun confiscation in certain circumstances.
Appearing on "Cuomo Prime Time," O'Rourke was asked point-blank if he was in favor of "gun confiscation."
"Yes," O'Rourke firmly responded, "when it comes to AR-15s and AK-47s, weapons designed for use on a military battlefield, the high-impact, high-velocity round that is fired from those weapons. When it comes to those weapons... the answer is yes."
The former Democratic lawmaker warned CNN anchor Chris Cuomo not to fall for the "fear-mongering" he suggested was being pushed.
"I'm not fear-mongering, I'm repeating," Cuomo told O'Rourke, reiterating what the 2020 hopeful just said on-air.

(P.S. Beto you dumbass, you can fire those same kind of rounds from a .233/5.56 Henry Single Shot)
Overton window.
Beto the Mexican candidate.
I wonder which one of you Midwestern or southern psychopaths he’s gonna try and take it from first:)
Known gangsters my whole life and rather deal with 10 of them than a guy who loves his guns as much as I love my car.
God Bless Ya!!

Beto has already “doubled-down” on this at least once a day for the last five days, so we’re WAY past “doubling-down” ...
I sometimes think that he is saying this to motivate the radical base of the party for the election.
I liked Roves description of Beto in his column today. Former Congressional representative and skateboarder.
If so, don't tell him he is motivating the wrong base!
and now you understand my tagline! :)

Scary times.
LOL... you sir, are wordsmith.
I’ll be waiting right here, Robert.
A shame we have to be so careful with what is said here.
Beto: the gift that keeps on giving.
Schumer and Feinstein want to slap him to sleep. He just won’t stop spilling the beans.
Civil War II historians will point to Beto as the touchstone of war as much as John Brown once was.
