Beto O’Rourke also chimed in he would force gun owners to sell their AKs and ARs.

“I was asked how I’d address people’s fears that we will take away their assault rifles.

I want to be clear: That’s exactly what we’re going to do. Americans who own AR-15s and AK-47s will have to sell their assault weapons. All of them.”

Probably talking about a forced buy back program. His political career in Texas is dead.

Why do they say “buyback” when the government didn’t sell the guns in the first place?

Better take inventory of your guns. Which the government knows you have and which are not in a government data base.

The government knows I have three CMP rifles, all between 101 and 75 years old.
I can see a raid on my house...”We’ve come to take your CMP guns! You are on blood thinners and they might bruise your arm when you shoot them and cause a blood clot to kill you! It is for your own good!”
