“Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” the former Texas congressman shouted to cheers from the audience. “We’re not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.”

He has become the gun control candidate.

Supposedly it has reinvigorated his campaign.
Well, if they can take bumpstocks, they can take ARs & AKs. Give an inch, they’ll take the entire firearm.

Yeah, but I wonder how many are buried in backyards around the county.

Another article from the mind of Kurt Schlichter and Chet, his pet unicorn:

Beto The Furry Is Less Amusing When He Calls For Violence Against American Citizens
The clownish antics of Tex Kennedy, that drunk driving furry and El Paso punchline, are much less funny now that he is promising to convert millions of Americans into felons and send armed government agents to their homes to steal their constitutionally-guaranteed property. Maybe he doesn’t know – whether due to pharmaceuticals or simply because he’s stupid – that two Democratic administrations ago, right up the road, the feds sent a bunch of armed men to take the forbidden guns of some people who were minding their own business and it turned out poorly. That debacle resulted in four dead ATF agents and over 70 dead civilians – including dozens of kids the feds burned alive.

Beto argues for gun buyback at Kent State University.

Says students were killed there by guns.

Didn’t mention it was by the government.

Yes, but that inconvenient fact is likely not known by his uninformed audience.

He knows he can 'play' on their emotions..... all the while... leaving out information that doesn't support his agenda.

He is a Liberal after all. What else would you expect?

FYI he stated today that he does not believe the 2A is a right to overthrow a tyrannical government, and that we do not have that right.

That's a common element to some of the worst mass shootings in history.
I believe the basic political division in this country is not between liberals and conservatives but between those who believe that they should have a say in the personal lives of strangers and those who do not.

Not anymore. He ran for US Senate against Ted Cruz. Since he could not be on the ballot for both positions at the same time, he did not run for re-election for his house seat.
