'Get in their faces before another child is shot in the face': Beto O'Rourke tells protest outside NRA convention to 'fight' against Republicans because the 'time to stop the next mass shooting is right now'
UK Daily Mail ^ | 05/27/2022 | Rob Crilly

Beto O'Rourke urged protesters to break the opposition of Republicans to gun control by 'getting in their faces before another child is shot in face' outside the National Rifle Association meeting in Houston on Friday.

Thousands of protesters assembled across the street from a convention center where former President Donald Trump was due to speak in favor of the Second Amendment.

But O'Rourke, who is running to unseat Republican Greg Abbott as Texas governor, delivered an impassioned plea for action days after 19 children and two teachers were shot dead about 270 miles away in Uvalde.

'So I ask you for those of you in power and who hold office right now and were in the way and refuse to act: Please promise me you will get in their faces before another child is shot in their face,' he told protesters.

The NRA event comes as the nation once again asks why a troubled 18-year-old could so easily buy two military-style weapons.

A string of high-profile singers has canceled appearances at the NRA's concert on Saturday, and even Abbott - a staunch defender of access to guns - is now sending a recorded message instead of attending.

O'Rourke has been a vocal campaign for gun control. This week he interrupted a news conference by Republican officials to demand immediate action after the worst school shooting in a decade.

“get in their faces” is certainly toning things down to keep the culture from having a violent mindset, isn’t it?

Beto is gonna be the next shooter. He is very unstable. He may not be legally able to buy one, but he is wealthy and has connections.

I think you are more right than you know. From what I’ve been able to piece together about this guy; he was the absolute epitome of the perfect libtard family product. Single drug addicted mother. No father figure. Poor. No self esteem. No one to teach him the path to self respect. constantly bullied at school. Infused with psycotrophic drugs and left out to dry. Gee, what a surprise.

Did Puto get a felony out of his DWI?

Maybe we should remind libs that Beto was close to the age (15) of Ramos (18) when he wrote this.

If he wants to “get in our faces” we can do it RIGHT BACK!
Like most libs, he will cry and lash out.
If he can’t take it, then he shouldn’t dish it out!

He is crazy enough to lash out with a semiauto rifle. You read it here.

Why Texas Troopers didn’t haul him out in cuffs the other day is beyond me. His rich father in law would have bailed him out.

Loose cannon.

Robert Francis O’Rourke, champion of the few fatherless, drug-addled, illegitimate, psychopathic mass murderers and their scattered, counterculture parents. He’s “the son of a thousand fathers...” —Tuco

Bet there will be a run on gun stores as people buy up all the AR-15s they can get their hot little hands on.
It happens every time the Dems broadcast what firearm is now on their “To Be Banned” list.
No one really wanted an “A-s-s-ault Rifle” in the 1970s till the Dems cast their covetous eyes in that direction in the 1980s. Suddenly AR and AK type rifles became hot sellers!

If they “get in my face” in their usual violent and confrontational manner, I will grab them by their goddamned throat. I have had it with these ignorant, self important excuses for human beings.
