Beto O'Rourke's best moment on Thursday's Democratic presidential debate -- which also doubled as his best moment in the 2020 campaign to date -- came when ABC's David Muir asked whether he supported a mandatory buyback of assault weapons.
"Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47," O'Rourke said to raucous applause from the crowd in Houston, Texas. "We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore."
The former Texas congressman defended that stance in an interview on CNN's "New Day" Friday, insisting the issue would not hurt his party.
"It's not a concern of mine and that's in part informed by listening to people in conservative parts of America," he said. "And folks are saying, 'Look, I would give up that AR-15 or that AK-47. I don't need it to hunt, don't need it to defend myself in my home.' They recognize this is a weapon designed for war, to kill people as effectively, as efficiently, and in a great a number as possible."
Which, well, count me skeptical that O'Rourke's idea will gain widespread political support. Here's why.

What a year this is becoming.
Buyback? I didn't buy the weapon from the government.
I hope the fake Mexican keeps talking
“Up until very recently, the Democrats-want-to-get-rid-of-the-Second-Amendment talk was, like so much of Trump’s rhetoric, outlandish and without any basis in facts.”
FOAD Chris!!!!!
The best meme I have seen said, “I was about to turn my AR in to the Federal Government but then I did a Background Check and found it was ineligible...”
Beto is an idiot.
Ha,
Hilarious!!!
CNN is bashing “beta” O’Rourke for telling the truth and taking plausible deniability away from the Progtard DildoCrats.
“beta” jumped the shark on guns too soon.
At least one Democrat is honest about gun control.
Beta is saying that he will not place his hand on the bible to support the constitution - WTF?

Actually... I think they are going to try to use this to strip the Fudds away from the rest of the gun community. Fudds don’t like AKs or ARs and as long as the Dems promise to leave their precious hunting rifles and shotguns alone, they may vote for them to “get them dang military/terrorist guns out of the wrong hands and out of the hunting fields.” See Zumbo.
O’Rourke was being HONEST. Period.
Any Democrat who has any other mealy-mouthed response different from O’Rourke is lying. Period.
Full confiscation is and always has been their goal.
It’s like they WANT us to win:
molesting kids, grabbing guns, confabulating stories.
Without the puzzling but very hard work of the libs, there’s no way the disloyal, treacherous, truckling, cowardly lickspittles of the GOP would ever win.
Not so much if he and the rest of the “idiots” get traction with this and are successful.
Chrissie SizzleLean just admitted through clenched teeth a very unpleasant truth: Dems want to confiscate guns.
Beto is just the tip of the gun grabber iceberg. The other Dems won’t dare disavow his fascistic statement.
This is the first `deplorables’ remark of the 2020 campaign.
It will be interesting to see the reaction of the Fudds when the Demoncrats go after their “sniper rifles”.
