Beto O’Rourke thrown out of Texas shooting press briefing after shouting at speakers
Mr O’Rourke told Mr Abbott that the shooting was ‘on him’ and ‘totally predictable’
As Mr O’Rourke continued to chastise the governor, another man on stage called him a “sick son of a b****” who would “come to a deal like this to make a political issue.”
Nothing in this country is ever political nor should it be :grillman:
This is Beto o’dork’s favorite issue to signal on. He really gets his freak on, calling for absolute seizure of all guns in Texas and other maximalist irrational demands. Centrist Democrats love the gun control issue because they can emotionally rile up their base and it’s guaranteed to be a dead end, and their wing of capital doesn’t particularly mind if guns get banned so they don’t panic about it
Lol when asked how the guns will be given back to the government, he said he trusts that Americans will abide by the law and hand them over voluntarily
He's actually not entirely wrong on that one. Gun restrictions in America over the past 100 years have largely involved a compliant public handing over their high capacity magazines or whatever once the restriction is put into place. Shootouts involving cops seizing illegal arms are quite rare and usually huge national stories, like Waco or Ruby Ridge or something.
Complete seizure of all guns though would probably be different yeah. Can't imagine that happening.
