White House hopeful Beto O'Rourke visited an Arkansas gun show Saturday to talk with firearm owners and vendors about solutions to tackle gun violence.

The visit comes one day after O'Rourke released a plan proposing a slate of gun control reforms and two weeks after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, where O'Rourke represented in Congress from 2013 to 2019.

"At the show, Beto listened to voters － including many Republicans who voted for Trump in 2016 － about their thoughts on gun safety. In order to make progress, Beto believes we have to meet people where they are, and not be afraid to have hard conversations with people who may not always agree," O'Rourke's campaign said in a statement.

Where can I buy me a huntin' license?

[NorthMountain]

I got four words for Irish Bob: “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED”.

[rockinqsranch]

NOW! THAT’s a fine example of a Democrat. Stupid beyond belief.

[Bonemaker]

I’ve got two words.

[thinden]

Surprised beto could get into a gun show.

Didn’t he cross the red line for gun ownership in high school when he wrote his “manifesto” about committin mass murders??

this dirt eating man is too warped to be trusted with a gun

[NorthMountain]

Is the second word “you”?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Beta Boy, listen to this, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

[ChildOfThe60s]

I’ve got two words.

Same two I've got. Great minds think alike.

[Rebelbase]

No doubt the vast majority of vendors and attendees were laughing at Beto behind his back.

[gundog]

“Y’all ain’t from around here, are ya, boy?”

[Clay Moore]

It’s too bad a loud chant of “Puto Puto” didn’t break out.

[2ndDivisionVet]

You has a purdy mouth.

[Chewbarkah]

Was Beetoh’s main message, that the 2nd Amendment only confers the privilege to hunt bass with a .410 shotgun, well received?

[bigbob]

How many armed bodyguards did he have with him?

[sheehan]

clearly the fake white Mexican beto Bozo has some new advisors.

[lgjhn23]

The commie POS probably couldn’t even pass a background check.

[Bonemaker]

In order to make progress, Beto believes we have to meet people where they are, and not be afraid to have hard conversations with people who may not always agree," O'Rourke's campaign said in a statement.

Translation:

A hard conversation means "I am your better and you will obey"

[Bonemaker]

That lad needs a good “Deliverance” moment.

“...to talk with firearm owners and vendors about solutions to tackle gun violence....”
Yeah...riiiight. Hey, Beato, ya wanna really take a couple of steps to stop “gun violence”? Well, do ya?
Do away with “gun free zones”, promote and support nationwide conceal carry.
The only way to stop a bad guy with a weapon (gun) is with a good guy with a weapon (gun). Been that way since the beginning of time, Beato. Get it thru your thick commie skull that our rights shall not be INFRINGED.
