Robert “Beto” O\u2019Rourke has declared he will confiscate your guns, your AR-15s and AK-47s, in a vehement, podium-pounding response to the moderator\u2019s question about gun confiscation during last night\u2019s debate. Okay, he wasn’t thumping the podium but he was close to it.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s his response on video. I think his vehemence about it emphasizes his ignorance about a lot of things, including the fact that the Odessa shooter failed a FEDERAL background check and went “underground” to\u00a0 get a weapon.\u00a0 I’ve asked this before: if a specific requirement for gun ownership is passing a federal background check, is that NOT a universal background check? And if not, then why not? His anecdote about going to a gun show in Connecticut doesn’t cut it with me, either. And frankly, if this is the only thing he can hammer at, he just doesn’t have much to offer.<\/p>\n
