EXCERPT:
Texas Democrat Senate nominee James Talarico says an “assault weapons” ban remains on the table, reinforcing a gun-control record that includes opposition to constitutional carry and proposals to tighten handgun licensing.
During a September 9 NewsNation interview, state Rep. James Talarico (D-TX) said he would support a firearms ban depending on its details, even as he presented himself as a defender of Texans’ right to bear arms.
His remarks come as the closely watched Senate race enters its final stretch.
‘No Amendment Is Absolute’
NewsNation host Leland Vittert pointed to a 2020 video in which Talarico supported bans on certain firearms and magazines.
“If there was an assault weapons ban or large-capacity magazine ban [in] the Senate, would you vote for it?” Vittert asked.
After Talarico expressed support depending on the details, Vittert pressed him again.
“So, an assault weapons ban is still on the table?” Vittert asked.
