Beto: Let’s Legalize Pot And Criminalize AR-15’s

By Cam Edwards

At a campaign event in Tucson, Arizona over the weekend, the struggling presidential candidate declared that he wants to legalize cannabis while banning the most commonly sold rifle in America, mandating a federal gun license, and instituting a host of other gun control laws. It’s amazing to me that O’Rourke is unwilling or unable to admit that his policies would enact a War on Guns, even while ending the War on Pot.

“We have allowed for far too long the NRA and those who may have purchased and are complicit with the violence we see in America, in Congress who have functionally prevented the Centers for Disease Control from even studying gun violence in America and who prevented universal background checks, red flag laws,” he said.

“We will have universal background checks, we will have red flag laws, we will have mandatory licensing and registration and we will buy back those AR-15s which belong on the battlefield, but not in our lives.”
