[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure enough, he has once again changed his positions on guns.

The Internet Archives' Wayback Machine shows that as recently as April 1, the "Gun safety" page included a section that said: "And while it might not be the easy or politically safe thing to say, I strongly believe that we need to reduce the number of AR-15’s and AK-47’s on our streets."

Sometime since April 1 (the most recent date archived), the campaign edited the section to say: "And while it might not be the easy or politically safe thing to say, I don't believe any civilian should own an AR-15 or AK-47."

O'Rourke had previously dialed back his aggressiveness on gun control after falling behind incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott in the polls. [/quote]

Maybe the Buffalo shooting. Or any of the other million shootings with AR-15s made him change his mind.

He’d have my vote for sure.

Or, maybe he doesn't really stand for anything.  He simply changes his position based on which way the wind is blowing.

That's not always a bad thing, like in this case.[/quote]

Yes. The majority of Americans - even Republicans - want to ban assault weapons.

First of all, define "assault weapon."  Even the nominee as ATF head has refused to do that.  Why?
Secondly, that article is 3 years old.  Long before the  summer of 2020 where we saw violence across the nation and gun ownership shot up substantially.

There are over 20 million AR-15 type weapons legally in circulation.  Do you believe these should be confiscated?

19 murdered school children.  19 pulverized unrecognizable 4th graders.

Compared to 20 million AR-15 weapons?  How do you balance that?[/quote]
