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.

Its interesting he think ONLY republicans buy guns or care about the 2A
Beto belongs in a MENTAL INSTITUTION!
Please, please, get in my face.

It looks like a set up job, door left open and cops do nothing.
Getting in someone’s face and screaming spittle at them is a good way to get punched out. Just sayin’.
Lots of folks in blue states wanted guns, were begging for guns, during the blm/antifa mess.
Bingo.
I can’t wait till Abbott crushes this gad-flying cockroach.
‘Get in their faces before another child is Aborted...’ thanks Beto...
Hysteria
And you know damn well he’ll be telling people to “get in the face” of those of us that support ending the baby killing process of abortion.
or shot
Why? “Because when minutes count, the police are an hour away”.
How about we do the same to you and your demonic allies Robert?
Ya’ll kill babies daily - 3,000 of them at least.
Genocidal murderer!
Pssssst! Hey Beto. The shooter was a lefty....
When minutes count the cops are at the donut shop.
This is the Leftist idiocy in a nutshell. Ban guns because the cops will protect you.
No, the cops will not. They will secure the scene waiting for the hostage negotiator and SWAT to get there.
Meanwhile your kids die.
American Women stop voting with your vaginas The Democrats are not going to “take care of you”. They screw up everything they touch.
And even then they might not do anything.
