Beto's back, and so is his plan to confiscate guns.
If there ever was a politician so out-of-step with his state, that has to be Beto O'Rourke and Texas.
The chronic campaigner is now running for governor of Texas.
From the NRA-ILA:
Everyone’s least favorite adrift office seeker is back in the national spotlight. On November 15, Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke announced his candidacy for Texas governor. Should the work-shy politico secure the Democratic nomination, it would likely set up a 2022 showdown with two-term Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R). In 2018, the perennial candidate failed in an attempt to unseat U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas). In 2019, Beto ran for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination and dropped out before securing a single delegate.
Gun owners are most familiar with Beto for his flamboyant support for gun confiscation.
During the September 12, 2019 Democratic debate, Beto was asked about his proposal to confiscate commonly-owned semi-automatic firearms. Beto responded in part by saying, “hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15!” The Beto campaign would go on to sell t-shirts with the anti-gun slogan.
Has he moderated his view on gun confiscation? Nope, not a bit.
From the Denver Gazette:
Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke defended comments he made supporting the confiscation of AR-15s and AK-47s during his 2019 presidential primary campaign.
"Yes, I still hold this view," O'Rourke told CNN on Sunday after launching his campaign last week.
