Former Texas representative and current Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke told people watching the debate on Thursday, Sept. 12: “Hell yes! we’re gonna take your AR-15, your AK-47.”

O'Rourke has endorsed confiscating guns, though he claimed this week that such a plan would not require police officers going “door to door.”
