Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke said he would institute a “mandatory buyback of every assault weapon in America.” O’Rourke made his comments in a column posted Thursday night by USA Today. He said some of the doctors treating the El Paso victims said they had not seen such “horrific wounds since they were deployed abroad in our armed forces.” O’Rourke acknowledged some believe the nation is too divided to bring about that change.
