The National Rifle Association wasted no time on Friday trolling Beto O’Rourke’s failed presidential dreams by referencing his “Hell yes!” response on the idea of AR-15 confiscations.
“Beto O’Rourke has dropped out of the 2020 presidential race. That makes it two failed campaigns in one year!” the NRA tweeted after Mr. O’Rourke ended his campaign. “Let this be a lesson: Running on destroying the Second Amendment and stripping Americans of their firearms is never a good idea. #ByeBeto.”
The gun rights organization’s tweet also included an image that read “Hell yes. Beto Fails,” with the former Texas representative giving a “thumbs up” sign.

The Left is wrong about the electorate: we are NOT as stupid as the Left thinks we are. The Left cares about POWER, not PEOPLE. Blaming an inanimate object for horrific crimes is a failure to acknowledge the evil intent in the heart and soul of the PERSON who wields a gun. To do so is the same as blaming knives and forks for obesity, and alcoholic beverages for alcoholism. If any of that were true, then global obesity rates would be much, much higher than they are. Alcohol has existed since 7000 BC and yet the majority of the world's population are not alcoholics. Gun crime in the US is falling, not rising, even though the fake news media sensationalizes shootings to make it seem they are on the rise. Gun crime is a CLASS issue, not a gun or race issue.

This weirdo was out of it before he was in it. Veto Beto was perhaps the craziest of the crazies that popped up'

Ichabod Crane is out. Now Fauxcahontas is the only one who will need at least six feet of podium space on the Dem debate stage to avoid injuring others with uncontrolled, flailing arm gestures.

The NRA does have considerable "political firepower". My previous democrat congress representative of years past decided to attack them, and later admitted that the result was watching a republican elected in his place.
Their slogan: "Stand and Fight" is consistent with how Donald Trump approaches politics. They support our constitutional rights. I am proud to be a life benefactor member of the NRA.

As #1 stated, gun violence is going down. Hard to believe but true. If you remove the areas where gangs and Democrats rule (but I repeat myself) this country is as safe as anywhere in the world sans Antarctica.

We have to make sure that the unthinking idiots out there realize that Bait-o made the mistake of revealing what every dim running for POTUS would do.

The message the Democrats are giving is loud and clear - I do not respect your dignity or rights and fear your independence. Whether it is 'sensible' gun laws, confiscatory taxation, political correctness, private health care the message is exactly the same. Voters might be selfish (nothing wrong per se) but they are not fools. Trump won in 2016 will exactly the opposite message - I respect your dignity will protect your rights and restore your independence. Instead of learning from it Democrats are foolishly doubling down on the old formula. Good luck to them!

Democrats crave power. The 2nd Amendment gives power to the people. That power gives the people the means to put down oppressive government. Thus Democrats must obliterate 2nd Amendment rights.

The people of this country are not stupid, but the constant, day-by-day, hour-by-hour, minute-by-minute slander campaign of the Democrats and MSM has misled some into believe there is some truth in what they are being told.
If the Republicans allow the Democrats and MSM to succeed in destroying President Trump, they will be destroyed along with him. And, the Democrats will have established that they can overthrow any election that does not go their way.

The thing is Bernie Sanders doesn't hide his agenda, Warren doesn't hide her agenda but Robert Beto O'Rourke spoke the truth to what all other clowns in the line up believe but won't mention in public. The guise of 'gun safety' means gun confiscation and elimination but they will never campaign of taking your guns away except for Beto when he touched on that high voltage rail. I think Beto failed because of his infantile buffoonery then there was the "Hell Yes I'll take your AR-15" then it was back to the skateboard park for him.

My first clue was the skateboard. Second clue was eating dirt. Running over kids was also a factor.
