Beto O'Rouke Blows up Press Conference on Texas Shooting

[Missourian]

Well we certainly can't have background checks or waiting periods .... I mean.... Buy more Guns, TExas.

Uhhh... This guy went through a background check...and has had the guns for at least two weeks.

He waited until his 18th birthday to buy the guns legally.

Sounds like that was the only way he could get them.

So...what is your background check and waiting period supposed to accomplish?

 

[basquebromance]

That's pizazz, that takes guts, funk, i like it. we need more confrontation in our politics, not here at USMB but the politicians themselves, they need to be at each other's throats!

 

[okfine]

WTF have they done to prevent these things? They run the country.

You are lost. Abbott promotes more guns. The others you mentioned do not.

 

[Nostra]

You are lost. Abbott promotes more guns. The others you mentioned do not.

Correct. Abbott supports the Constitution, unlike the other three.

I'll ask again....

WTF have they done to prevent these things? They run the country.

 

[shockedcanadian]

He politicized the event. This would work for him in California in New York, I doubt the hard working, proud men and women of Texas will take kindly to this stunt.

He just cost himself another 5% of the vote.

 

[bodecea]

He's right....they are just paying lip service. Disgusting!

To annoy people and give lefty's the warm and fuzzies

I'm for background checks but in all honesty if some loon wants a gun they'll get one

 

[BackAgain]

I see you were groomed to accept that lie.

Well there are pictures of beta o’dork in a dress. So, maybe you’re just being dishonest again. Lol. Maybe. As if there was ever a doubt.

 

[okfine]

Ask the GOP. That's who blocks all anti gun legislation.

 

[Maxdeath]

Bato, sorry Beto has no clue. But his stunt got him publicity and that was all he was after

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Ask the GOP. That's who blocks all gun legislation.

What new gun legislation would have prevented this?

 

[basquebromance]

This is what courage looks like, instead of what those spineless creeps on stage are demonstrating.

 

[Nostra]

He has always been you typical pissy pants Dimwinger.

 

[okfine]

What new gun legislation would have prevented this?

Go ask your mommy.

 

[Nostra]

Ask the GOP. That's who blocks all anti gun legislation.

What law did they block that would have prevented this?

Be specific and link to the legislation.

 

[WEATHER53]

Did he limp wrist flap his hands and fly off?

 

[okfine]

What law did they block that would have prevented this?

Be specific and link to the legislation.

You are the expert. Why do you play games?

 

[blackhawk]

Classless but not surprising behavior from one Robert Francis O’Rourke.

 

[basquebromance]

Bato, sorry Beto has no clue. But his stunt got him publicity and that was all he was after

IT'S ON YOU! YOU ARE DOING NOTHING TO STOP GUN VIOLENCE, SIR! I'M GONNA SHOUT YOU DOWN BECAUSE I'M COOL! WOOHOO

 

[martybegan]

Ask the GOP. That's who blocks all anti gun legislation.

What besides a total and effective ban as well as uninventing guns would have prevented this via more laws?

He could have done the same thing with two revolvers because no one in there was armed.
