Former Rep. Beto O'Rourke struggled on Wednesday to explain how he would make criminals comply with his proposed mandatory buyback of assault-style rifles, a plan that divided Democrats at Tuesday's primary debate
O'Rourke's plan includes a ban on assault-style weapons and for the federal government to buy back firearms, including AK-47s and AR-15s, for a"fair price" -- or otherwise face a fine.Pressed by CNN's Alisyn Camerota Wednesday on how he planned to get assault-style weapons from people who would be reluctant to hand them over, O'Rourke, a former US representative from Texas, insisted that Americans would abide by the law."It's pretty simple.
"O'Rourke also said he is not suggesting a door-to-door"confiscation" of firearms and cited Australia as an example of a country that implemented a mandatory buyback program in response to a mass shooting.O'Rourke proposed in August a mandatory buyback for assault-style weapons and a voluntary buyback program for handguns in the wake of a mass shooting in his hometown of El Paso, Texas.
