On owning Ar-15's.
Note the bolded area.

https://www.foxnews.com/media/beto-orourke-mandatory-buybacks-exception-ar-15-hunting

Former congressman Beto O'Rourke may be softening his signature stance on mandatory gun buybacks after suggesting he might consider an exception for certain AR-15 owners.

O'Rourke, who famously declared during a presidential debate that he would "take" AR-15s and AK-47s, was confronted by a student in Iowa on Friday who described himself as a "hunter" who uses an AR-15.

"What about those people who use that as a way to, you know, get dinner, who live down south who don't really have a lot of options for food, and they don't have money but they can get their own?" the student asked.

The student went on to explain that an AR-15 is "much more efficient" at killing an animal like a deer and how if a weaker gun is used, it could potentially put the animal through more pain, and its adrenaline can "spoil" the meat.

O'Rourke acknowledged that this was the "first time" he's heard of anyone using an AR-15 to hunt a deer.

"Perhaps a way to address a legitimate concern or need is to then ensure that those who have a need or want to use an AR-15 are able to keep it at a hunting club or at a gun range, so that there is some control and safeguard still placed on that firearm," O'Rourke said.

O'Rourke had a drastically different stance in 2018 when he was running for Senate against the GOP Texas incumbent, Ted Cruz.

During an interview on "The Chad Hasty Show" in April 2018, the host asked: "I own an AR-15. A lot of our listeners out there own AR-15s. Why should they not have one?"

"To be clear, they should have them," O'Rourke responded. "If you purchased that AR-15, if you own it, keep it. Continue to use it responsibly."

He added later in the same interview: "If you own a gun, keep that gun. Nobody wants to take it away from you -- at least I don’t want to do that.”

Good thing for me, and all the people I know. Our gun safes and trucks are gun ranges and hunting clubs. Good thing for us the 2nd amendment doesn’t say, “the right to keep “stored at a hunting club or gun range” and bear arms SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED.

Sounds so familiar, o yes Obama used much the same statement in pushing his Obama care on us

If you have insurance keep your insurance yada yada yada

Surprising how many will still fall for it though

Shows how ignorant he is about guns and their uses, I wonder how ignorant he is about many other subjects that he is lecturing us on.

Just what happens to the unspent campaign donation cash once this wingnut decides to cut and run? Zero point zero...he deserves less than that.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

You would think she would know better being an Indian an all. I mean, look what happened to her people when they surrendered their guns...


Eh...wot?

If those hillbilly's can't afford food, how did they buy an AR?

As far as the level of interest and of importance of Francis goes. My slip neighbors labradoodle has a vet appointment tomorrow afternoon. That right there is more newsworthy than everything that Francis has ever said and done.
