EXCERPT:

O'ROURKE: "We are a nation of laws. It’s part of what defines us and distinguishes us from the rest of the world. So I believe that America will comply with the law, and I believe that there will be a Due Process in devising a law in a first place where we listen to stakeholders all concerned and affected but do not allow the delays that we’ve seen that have listed decades to stop us from finally acting on this. So I don’t want to give in to the hype or some of the scare tactics that have been employed to stop us from even considering this in the first place. Much like we don’t go door-to-door to enforce any law in the United States. In fact, I don’t think we do that for any law in the United States. This is not something we would do. Others have said, you know, this is something we would fear if there were a mandatory buy back program. No, we expect people to follow the law and that’s certainly what I believe would happen."
