Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-Texas) defended his proposed mandatory buyback of assault weapons during Thursday's Democratic debate in Houston.
"I am, if it's a weaponed that's designed to kill people on a battlefield. If the high impact, high velocity round shreds everything inside of your body. ... When we see that being used against children," O'Rourke said, asked if he was proposing taking away AR-15's and AK-47's.
"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," he continued.

TF to O’Rourke
Pound sand, puke.
Bump
He is chasing more Soros money.
They all need to scream this at the top of their lungs gun control works well for the,.

The little crossdressing FOOL, “Pretty Bobbi” O’Rourke is a FAILURE & should stick to what he does best: Hanging around the men’s locker room at the country club & drinking way too many Cosmos.
He had NO chance at ANY future office in Texas, even in El Paso, once the word got out that he likes wearing ladies underpants & has been photographed several times in evening gowns with “decent jewelry” & heels.

"Hell yes we're going to take your AR-15 Democrat politician, your AK-47 Socialist politician. We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore," he continued."
There is no guessing, nice to know they are out in front now instead of hiding it
How did the audience react?
To FReepers, who don’t know much about AR15 rifles/carbines & the AK family: NEITHER the Ar15 (and its 5.56mm clones) OR the AK rifles in either 7.62x39 or the 5.56mm chambering are “high-powered” weapons.
The 5.56NATO chambering is so under-powered that several US States do not allow the AR15 for deer hunting, as it wounds far more animals than it humanely kills
AND
the 7.62x39 mm AK chambering is a little less powerful than the standard loading for the Winchester .30-30 saddle carbine.
Fwiw, the AR & AK are often used here in Texas for feral pig hunting but personally, I do not believe that EITHER chambering is “fully suitable” for deer hunting except at ranges under 100M & even then only in the hands of a skilled marksman.

He’s never owned or touched an actual firearm before, has he..
That’s a funny cartoon, but the actual Fudds would gladly turn in their neighbour with the ARs and AKs. As long as they can keep their 870 Wingmaster.
POS...who’s ‘we’?
Better bring an Army ....oh, wait!
They’re on OUR SIDE .
Bring it on punk .
You must think you are immortal.
Smoking too much pot...
Uh... No you’re not Robert.
Follow up question, Mr Beto...
If they serve no purpose as a weapon for defense, how come they’re in most police cars?
