First time he’s been in the news for about 20 years. Guess he’s looking for a new movie role.

That's right, Beau, it messes up the meat. They are for protecting our freedoms from thugs and asshats like you that want to take away our God-given rights.........................

Because fascists like Beau don’t want me to have them. That’s a good enough reason for me.

So I win a fire fight against a Democrat sponsored crook/terrorist that has a gun that sprays bullets at a slower rate?

Add Beau Bridges to “the list” for when the balloon goes up. Hopefully a Henry-Bowman-type lives close to him.

I think we should all encourage Beau to visit his local gun shop and ask for a gun that sprays bullets at a rapid rate.

Wonder which weapon the shop owner would recommend?

According to an Amtrak video, you just have to toss a duffle bag at the bad guys.

"Ooh, ooh, ooh; want to learn how to defend yourself against pointed sticks, do we? Getting all high and mighty, eh? Fresh fruit not good enough for you, eh? Well let me tell you something my lad! When you're walking home tonight and some great homicidal maniac comes after YOU with a bunch of loganberries, don't come cryin' to me!"

What I want to know is who names their son “Beau”? Don’t tell me, his middle name is “Ty”.

Why don’t you ask your brother Jeff why anyone would need a Hyundai that registers 160 MPH on the speedometer? It ain’t about need you wimp, it’s about freedom. And you are wrong, it’s a lot of fun shoot at targets with full auto.
