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.

Good thing I bought an AR-10 in .308. It’s only 2/3’s as powerful as the AR-15 in 5.56/2.23 so I should be good.

Haven’t you learned? It’s the seriousness of the charge, not the truth.

Thanks for the research. I was going to research that after reading the thread. That $300k jumped out to me as a lie!

That might play with the libs in Austin but it won’t with libs in the rest of Texas. However, the libs in Texas will vote straight demonrat ticket so it won’t matter what his platform is.

Thanks! I welcome rebutting research but I believe that info is correct.

The NRA lobbies it does not fund candidates.

YEEEHAW! BAN GUNS! THIS IS TEXAS! YAHOOO!

Somehow, I think this idea will not sell. But AR-15 sales will go up if he happens to win. Everyone will want theirs before he can enact a ban.

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

So he probably is a liar TOO. I am shocked, I tell you, shocked.
