Eight Out Of 10 Democrat Voters Support Confiscatory AR-15 Buybacks
(Breitbart) – A poll conducted by The Hill/Harris X shows Democrat voters are the driving force behind confiscatory AR-15 policies like those espoused by Robert “Beto” O’Rourke.
The poll, reported by The Hill, shows that 82 percent of Democrat voters support “a mandatory buyback program” for AR-15s and AK-47s. Fifty-one percent of Independent voters also voiced support for mandatory buybacks, but fewer than four in 10 Republican voters were on board.
The poll was conducted over September 20-21 across a sample of 1,000 registered voters.
O’Rourke set forth his confiscatory intentions on numerous occasions. On September 2, 2019, he addressed fears he planned on taking away AR-15s and AK-47s by saying, “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.” Then, during the September 12, 2019, Democrat debate he said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”
Numerous establishment media outlets gave O’Rourke the opportunity to clarify his confiscatory talk, but each time he doubled down instead of easing his language.
Now The Hill reports that Democrat voters support such a confiscatory approach.
Beto O’Rourke Uses Shotgun Attack to Advocate AR-15 Confiscation
Democrat presidential hopeful Robert “Beto” O’Rourke is trying to garner support for his AR-15 confiscation plan by tweeting about a 2013 shotgun attack in Virginia.
O’Rourke put a tweet from “Beto for South Carolina” at the top of his personal account. The tweet features a video of a survivor of the 2013 New River Community College attack in Christiansburg, Virginia, and focuses on the trauma associated with the attack. It also talks of how O’Rourke’s gun control plans are spot on.
The “Beto for South Carolina” video says, “We have to get these weapons, like the AR-15s and the AK-47s, out of hands that never should have been able to have them.”
The video also shows O’Rourke saying, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15.”
"I have an almost one-year-old son. And I don't ever wanna have to look him in the eye and tell him that we didn't do enough to stop this."

The problem with all of this is that the New River Community College attacker did not use an AR-15 or an AK-47. Rather, the Roanoke Times reported that he used a “pump-action shotgun.” ABC News reported that the attacker allegedly intimated his plans to use a shotgun in the attack “just minutes before” carrying out the evil act.
Yet O’Rourke is using the attack as support for his confiscatory AR-15 and AK-47 plans.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation calculates there are 16 million-plus privately owned AR-15s in the United States.
