O’Rourke Stands By Gun Comments

Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke (D) said he stands by his controversial 2019 comment that “we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” The Hill reports.

Said O’Rourke: “Look, we are a state that has a long, proud tradition of responsible gun ownership. And most of us here in Texas do not want to see our friends, our family members, our neighbors shot up with these weapons of war. So yes, I still hold this view.”
