(snip) O’Rourke, who famously declared during a presidential debate that he would “take” AR-15s and AK-47s, was confronted by a student in Iowa on Friday who described himself as a “hunter” who uses an AR-15.
“What about those people who use that as a way to, you know, get dinner, who live down south who don’t really have a lot of options for food, and they don’t have money but they can get their own?” the student asked.
The student went on to explain that an AR-15 is “much more efficient” at killing an animal like a deer and how if a weaker gun is used, it could potentially put the animal through more pain, and its adrenaline can “spoil” the meat.
The answer O’Rourke gave was classic Beto, proving he’s still as clueless and ignorant about the issue as he ever was:
O’Rourke responded that it was the first time he had heard the case for using an AR-15 to hunt deer, but he said he has heard from Texas ranchers and farmers who use them to fend off feral hogs.
“Perhaps a way to address a legitimate concern or need is to ensure that those who have or want to use an AR-15 are able to keep it at a hunting club or at a gun range so that there is some control and safeguard still placed on that firearm,” he said.
Watch the student ask the question and Beto respond below:

This is just another on a long list of answers he’s given that show he has been operating solely on emotion and anger and gross ignorance on this issue for months, which is precisely why he belongs nowhere near the White House.

Haven’t stories about this pretend Mexican run their course?
No. I think we’ll see a WHOLE LOT OF HIM during the general election. He is going to be the face of whomever wins the primary. Keep it coming. IMO
Maybe the government could keep them locked up for us and, you know, let us use them when we ask for them, like when we want to hunt or practice. Yeah, we could fill out a formy thing and after a careful review and waiting time, we would be allowed to go to the armory and get it for a few hours.
That’s the ticket!
He’ll end up MIA if he doesn’t shut up after the primary is decided.
He’s already DEAD metaphorically in Texas.
Who’s great strategy was that??
“I won’t win the primary, but let me DESTROY any chance in TX”
What an out of touch idiot!
Pretend or not, he convinced 47 percent of TX to send him to the Senate. That’s why we fear a blue invasion of TX in 2020.
Battle for the Planet of the Apes
How many forms do we need to get our guns to fight the tyranny of government? Is there a legal insurrection paperwork?
The question was framed about people who did not a bunch of money and hunted for food. AND beto suggests they could keep their ARs at their hunting club or shooting range. Poor folks do not belong to hunting clubs and frequent shooting ranges. THEY COST MONEY. beto dumb butt. no clue
Keeping it at a club will be so helpful when thugs are breaking down the door.
The real reason for the 2nd Amendment is to allow the people to defend themselves: against foreign invaders, against criminals, and most importantly, against wannabe dicatotr a**holes like Beto and just about every democrat on the planet.
Lol...this kid has watched too many episodes of Swamp People.
That’s why we fear a blue invasion of TX in 2020.
*************
Just going back to where they came from.
How about we store O’Rourke in a meat locker, and ship it to his favorite country,, Mexico. They can make Beto Tacos.
That is a very rational fear; if illegal immigration/liberal influx flips Texas and/or Florida as it did California, the Ds become a permanent presidential power.
Keeping it at a club will be so helpful when thugs are breaking down the door.

And don’t forget the thugs who will break down the doors of the club to get the guns.
But anyway... how can anyone who has lived in this country for more than 15 minutes not see what a ridiculous idea this is?
I think he is talking about the southern part of Iowa, which is pretty sparsely inhabited.
This tool will be in Newtown today. I think I’ll stay home.
‘Twas done in the UK.
Check in to the local PD and pick up your pistol for range duty.
Bring it right back.
A few months later, the authorities confiscated everything...
