Leave it to Beto O’Rourke to fail to realize that criminals, by definition, do not follow the laws.
When pressed by a reporter during an appearance on CNN regarding his mandatory gun buyback program on so-called “assault rifles,” Beto suggested that mass shooters would willingly comply with gun confiscations.
Speaking on his proposed gun buyback program, Beto told CNN’s Alison Camerota,
“It’s pretty simple. As with any law in this country, we would expect our fellow Americans to follow the law.”

Camerota then questioned,
“You would expect mass shooters to follow the law?”
Beto seemed caught off guard by having a hole poked in his plan, replying,
“Our fellow Americans will follow the law, yes.”
Camerota followed up the question by pointing out the critical error gun control proponents make,
“By definition mass shooters in Parkland, in El Paso, I could go on for 10 minutes — they don’t follow the law.”
Kudos to CNN, for once.
