Sen. Joe Manchin has a message for Democratic presidential contender Beto O’Rourke: Stay away from my guns.
Manchin, who is among the few pro-gun Democrats in the Senate, said he disagreed with O’Rourke’s declaration that if he is elected president, he’ll force Americans to turn over assault-style weapons.
“I can tell you one thing: Beto O’Rourke’s not taking my guns away from me,†Manchin said Wednesday when asked about the plan. “You tell Beto that, OK?"
O’Rourke, who is polling at 0% in recent polls, made a splash at the most recent Democratic debate in Houston when he said he supported a mandatory buyback of assault-style weapons.
"Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47," O'Rourke said. "We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore."
