For example, in February 2018 interview with CBS News O’Rourke supported banning bump stocks and made clear his belief that AR-15s ought not be sold in America. He said, “I think banning bump stocks makes a lot of sense. … I don’t know that we should raise the age for buying an AR-15 I just don’t think we should be selling AR-15s in this country.” And on October 18, 2018, O’Rourke noted Texas’ proud gun heritage then explained his desire for Texas to lead they way on gun control by adopting the gun laws being pushed for everyone else.
In an interview published by the Hill, O’Rourke said current AR-15 owners ought to be able to keep their firearms, but further sales of the rifles in America ought to be prohibited. In the building up to his call for a ban O’Rourke described the AR-15 as super powerful weapon designed “for the express purpose of killing people as effectively as possible, in as great a number as possible.”

So is this guy in bed with the company that makes ar-15's?
All this will do is make people go buy more so they will be grandfathered in, and create a black market.

There are very few gun companies left still 'Murican made.

The Democrats wanted to do something about Chinese currency manipulation which caused all our factories to close down but the Republicans blocked the Democrats on every vote. The Chinese have pegged the Yuan 6 to 1 to the dollar. The American worker just can't compete with cheap artificially low Chinese labor.

How come they always go after the AR-15?
The overwhelming majority of shootings are done with pistols.
So if you ban the AR-15 the number of people shooting each other with glocks or whatever will go down? Sounds like nonsense to me.
