On August 24, 2019, Breitbart News reported O’Rourke saying, “America has more guns than human beings.” He followed that with a push to ban “assault weapons.”
On September 9, 2019, Breitbart News reported O’Rourke’s contention Americans will comply with his ban on AR-15s; that they will voluntarily hand over the weapons, thereby alleviating any need for police to go door-to-door.
Now he is pressing financial institutions and credit cards to cut ties with gun customers who do self-impose gun controls and/or refuse sales of certain firearms.
