https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/stop-lying-about-gun-control/ar-AAGOtCoStop Lying About Gun ControlCharles M. BlowBeto O’Rourke has easily emerged as my favorite presidential candidate on the issue of gun control.
He has done so because he is speaking openly, passionately and honestly about what he would like to do to stem our epidemic of gun violence, a stance that is surprisingly rare in my estimation.
I long ago tired of hearing politicians who are supposed to be in favor of smarter gun laws and reducing American gun deaths and injuries pull their punches so as not to upset the gun lobby and gun lobbyists.
Among other things, O’Rourke’s “gun safety” plan includes declaring gun violence a public health emergency, creating a national gun licensing system and registry, requiring universal background checks, implementing red flag laws and banning “the manufacturing, sale and possession of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.”

Yes, I would encourage all candidates to stop lying about gun control also.

O' Rourke also wants a mandatory buy-back of all semi-automatic "assault weapons". Which led one wag to say "I did a background check on the prospective buyer and found a long history of violence".

It's not a buy back, the government never owned the guns so they can't buy them back. It is taking our guns by force and giving us back some money they took from us.

"Buy back" sounds much less UnConstitutional than confiscation.

An almost Orwellian difference.

Nothing almost about it.

I don’t know that O’Rourke is lying. Seems pretty forthright in how he plans to infringe on your rights.

Another take on the original subject:

In my opinion the article BigBlue links above is really good. It's short and too the point and it exposes some of the lies the gun control people CONSTANTLY spew even though they KNOW they're lies!!! Thanks for posting the link.

Can’t be much more honest than Beto last night.
“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” he said, on television, on the Democratic Party debate stage, for all to hear and see. “We’re not going to allow them to be used against fellow Americans anymore.”

Yup, no doubt where he stands.
