During the October 15, Democrat debate Robert “Beto” O’Rourke made clear that AR-15 owners who refuse to hand over their guns will have them taken away.
O’Rourke reiterated his plan to use a government-mandated buyback to confiscate privately-owned AR-15s and AK-47s. In so doing, he claimed that each AR-15 and AK-47 in private hands is a “potential instrument of terror.”
CNN’s Anderson Cooper then asked O’Rourke how he plans to get people to hand over their rifles.
O’Rourke responded by explaining that he expects complains with the mandatory buybacks. He said, “I expect my fellow Americans to follow the law. The same way we enforce any provision, any law that we have right now, we don’t go door to door to do anything to enforce the law. I expect Republicans, Democrats, gun owners, non-gun owners alike, to follow the law.”
Cooper then followed up by asking what O’Rourke plans to do if Americans do not comply.
O’Rourke said, “If someone does not turn an AR-15 or an AK-47, one of these weapons of war, or brings it out in public and brandishes it, in an attempt to intimidate…then that weapon will be taken from them. If they persist, there will be other consequences from law enforcement.”

Keep in mind Beto cannot own a gun due a burglary and a hit and run later in his life. So he wants to make sure you can't have a gun.

What happened when the Brits try to take away our guns the first time at Lexington 0n 19 April, 1775?
Thomas Jefferson, I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence
I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy. - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778
SECOND AMENDMENT
Right to Bear Arms
Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights:
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Well, since they have experience in taking children away, doing the same with guns probably is not an issue with Democrats.

He demands it, so let’s make sure he’s the one who has to go to the front door to take the weapon.
Make sure there is video, because it’s gonna make for great viewing.

Buyback is another lazy misleading trope like whistleblower. You cant buy back something you didnt own in the first place.

If he expects everyone to follow the law, then there’s no reason to take guns from anyone.

Non compliance to draconian gun laws is very high in NY, Ct and NJ. I would bet LEOs would be very leery about going door to door to confiscate weapons,

I expect my fellow Americans to follow the Constitution.
To: Enlightened1
I have said it several times here on FR:
Beto is precisely the the kind of aspiring tyrant that the Founding Fathers had in mind when they passed the 2nd Amendment.
To: Enlightened1
Ever notice when skinny, girly men are given a microphone they rant their tough guy delusions. All Beto has to do for a reality check is knock on an NRA members door and demand his guns.

It will be most interesting to see what branch of law enforcement is going to come after them.
Come try...
