The plan seems to have gone too far for even the most progressive candidates while Beto O'Rourke, who is struggling to distinguish himself, has little to lose.
Beto O'Rourke, the former Texas congressman who suspended his campaign travel to spend time in his home community of El Paso, tweeted on Wednesday his full support."And I call on everyone else in this race to do the same," he said.
"While Beto supports an individual's right to bear arms, we must reexamine its regulation," Lauren Hitt, a spokesperson for O'Rourke's campaign told Newsweek."These students presented a bold change, but Beto believes now is the time for bold action—regardless of the political consequences. There have been more than 250 mass shootings just this year. We have a crisis and half measures aren't going to fix it.
Ahead of hosting a presidential forum on gun violence in October, March For Our Lives told Newsweek it has had conversations with"many" presidential candidates.
