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.

Yeah, Beta.
Come ‘get in my face’.
Ya know, So much of this societal disintegration in general and so many senseless killings really accelerated when your butt buddy 0bama told you leftists to “Get in their faces”.
How come Beto-ff doesn’t have the monkeypox yet?
So if he had been 25 it’s different? The question to ask is why this kid wasn’t in a mental hospital receiving Council I NG and treatment.
DONATE NOW TO ACTBLUE!
Step 1) Bring the country together by getting in our faces if we don’t toe the Party line.
Step 2) Ban guns because the cops will protect you.
Step 3) Defund the police because they’re racists.
Step 4) Call in the UN to occupy the country and bring the rabble to heel.
I make my grandson laugh every time we're in the car and I know were about to drive past a donut shop. "Ok, shhh. We are on holy ground and passing the temple. Please be reverent..."
So the media and the left think gun control is going to ride them to victory, in Texas. Ok.
Democrats are going to stop mass shootings. Sure. Next thing you know, they will tell you that they are going to cure cancer...
Because the monkeys at the zoo are too fast for him to catch and hook up with.
that will hinge on who and how the votes are counted OR if tv news calls it before all are counted, that seems to be the new way to “elect”.
Just remember folks. To approach you and “get in your face” is assault. If they threaten you, you can react.
Battery is when they strike you.
Always CCW.

Sick of Dumbasses.
Democrats constantly call for violence against anyone who does not share their view, but then they feign outrage when one of their unstable followers goes postal. Only their desires are legitimate, and if you don't agree, they will attack you.
Is O'Rourke also mildly stupid like Joe Biden?
Beto wants to feel good about himself by taking guns away from law abiding citizens, so only criminals have guns, and people like him (the ruling class).
These leftists and Democrats continue to ignore the mental health of the person behind the gun. Did not the Democrats close mental health facilities and asylums and put everybody on the street?
Why don't they take a look at the broader picture that includes the person behind the gun? Or is that too complicated for Beto and his ilk?
Obviously that's stupid and dangerous so what does he mean by get in their faces?
That sounds like a call to violence.
