Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke reacted to criticism of his proposed mandatory gun-buyback program for assault-style rifles with a defiant call to not let the National Rifle Association 'set the terms of the debate'
Washington Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke on Wednesday reacted to criticism of his proposed mandatory gun-buyback program for assault-style rifles with a defiant call to not let the National Rifle Association"set the terms of the debate."
Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill who are trying to find a way forward on gun legislation that Republicans and Democrats have been critical of O'Rourke's proposal and rhetoric around guns. The argument is that his comments feed into long-held conservative talking points that opening the door to any changes on gun laws -- even something as minor as expanding background checks -- could lead Democrats to eventually force people to give up their guns.
