Donald Trump Supporters Wave ‘Come and Take it’ Flags at Beto O’Rourke Rally in Texas

A handful of Texas supporters of President Donald Trump and the Second Amendment welcomed Beto O’Rourke at a rally in Texas with ‘Come and Take it’ flags.

Video footage of the event from Fox 4 showed one Trump supporter with a rifle slung over his back holding a, “Hell no you will not take my AR-15” sign. Other supporters held a Trump sign, a Texas flag with an AR-15 on it and a classic Texas white “Come and Take it” flag.

“We are going to buy back every single one of those weapons,” O’Rourke said at the rally as supporters cheered, “Get them off the streets.”

After the rally, O’Rourke defended his new stance on guns saying that if Democrats were defensive, they would end up with nothing on gun control.

“I think that we have to make sure we are bold, have the courage of our convictions and reflect the urgency of this issue,” he said and added, “There’s really no legitimate need for an AK-47 or an AR-15.”

You didn’t sell them and the owners find you to be an unacceptable risk to sell them to.......

From the Texas Declaration of Independence...

“It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments. “

So why does BETO want to become a Tyrant.

But we need to sharpen our arguments, on the merits, The Founding Fathers would have had no problem, tearing the arguments of intellectual jokes like Beto O'Rourke, apart. Use the Left's campaign against them at every opportunity!

Clowns like O'Rourke can be used as foils, to our advantage!

You are right. Can you imagine Joe Biden debating Ben Franklin or John Quincy Adams on say, The Right to Bear Arms?

What happened when the Brits try to take away our guns the first time at Lexington 0n 19 April, 1775?

Thomas Jefferson, “I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence …

I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy.” - Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778

SECOND AMENDMENT

Right to Bear Arms

Passed by Congress September 25, 1789. Ratified December 15, 1791. The first 10 amendments form the Bill of Rights:

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

“There’s really no legitimate need for an AK-47 or an AR-15.”

Hey Beto, you Butthead there’s no “legitimate” need for a BMW 750, A McLaren Spider 720, a 200 ft Yacht, Gulf Stream 650 or a 40 room mansion on the beach either.

I do believe Beto has a criminal record that may preclude me from selling my weapons to him!

Attention President Trump:

Your supporters oppose "gun control". Your supporters oppose "red flag" laws, oppose "universal background checks", and oppose banning of any sort of firearm or firearm accessory.

Your supporters favor a strict interpretation of the Second Amendment: the government is forbidden to interfere with our right to keep and bear arms.

You will gain NOTHING by betraying your supporters.

Sure there is: those weapons are very handy for dealing with tyrants and invaders.

Yep, my price is pretty steep, too.

Also, my firearms and cartridges are sold separately. I'm willing to let the cartridges go first.
