VIDEO: Cruz challenger Beto O’Rourke wants to ban the AR-15
Conservative Review ^ | March 12, 2018 | Chris Pandolfo

Posted on 03/12/2018 12:32:20 PM PDT by C19fan

Giving an interview at the SXSW conference in Austin Texas over the weekend, the Democratic nominee opposing Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said American civilians should not be permitted to buy an AR-15 rifle.

El Paso Rep. Beto O’Rourke, D-Texas, is proud of his campaign’s claim that he shuns political action committee (PAC) money. He criticized Senator Cruz for taking $300,000 from the National Rifle Association and boasted that his campaign has taken $0 from the NRA. He told a story about a woman at a town hall who asked him if he could stand up to the NRA. O’Rourke explained that he does not hire consultants, does not talk to pollsters, and does not consult focus groups.

At least this guy will stab you in the front unlike other Red State Democratic senators and candidates who lie during the campaign and then stab you in the back. You have been warned TX voters.

This is just one of many things wrong with O’Rourke.

Somehow, I don’t think his position will go over well in the Lone Star State.

Running against guns in Texas is like running against abortion in Massachusetts.

An extraordinary number of former intelligence and military operatives from the CIA, Pentagon, National Security Council and State Department are seeking nomination as Democratic candidates for Congress in the 2018 midterm elections.

Mirroring what has occurred to NBC and CNN talking heads, spies pour into Democrats ahead of mid term elections and now comprise 25% of candidates.

Bingo.
I may not own one, but I know a lot of people who do. I know people ranging from urbanites, to farmers, to educators who own an AR-15...or two. Beto is proving his Progressive Street Cred.

If anyone can have an AR 15, legally or illegally, government, military, or criminal, a citizen should be able to have them.

Conservatives need to get in touch with the realities which underlie the Second Amendment.

He criticized Senator Cruz for taking $300,000 from the National Rifle Association...

The NRA hasn't given Ted Cruz any money according to this political tracking site...
