Sen. Coons: ‘I’m Not Supportive’ of Mandatory Buyback Program
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
HARLOW: "And what about, senator, what we heard from congressman Beto O’Rourke last night? I’ll quote him. 'Hell, yes, we are going to take your AR-15s, your AK-47s.' Are you supportive of a mandatory buyback program for all of those weapons, all of those assault rifles on America’s streets right now?"
COONS: "I am not. And I frankly think that that clip will be played for years at Second Amendment rallies with organizations that try to scare people by saying Democrats are coming for your guns. I’m a gun owner. My sons and I have gone skeet shooting and hunting and, frankly, I don’t think having our presidential candidates, like congressman O’Rourke did, say that we’re going to try and take people’s guns against their will is a wise either policy or political move."
