White House hopeful Beto O'Rourke visited an Arkansas gun show Saturday to talk with firearm owners and vendors about solutions to tackle gun violence.
The visit comes one day after O'Rourke released a plan proposing a slate of gun control reforms and two weeks after a mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, where O'Rourke represented in Congress from 2013 to 2019.
"At the show, Beto listened to voters － including many Republicans who voted for Trump in 2016 － about their thoughts on gun safety. In order to make progress, Beto believes we have to meet people where they are, and not be afraid to have hard conversations with people who may not always agree," O'Rourke's campaign said in a statement.

I’m sure you do lol
But don’t say em here!!
Hope you are faring well, or better.
I would likely be civil but in NO WAY, shape or form would I care what he said.
The last word will do. There’s a gun show in Reno this weekend. He still has time to show up tomorrow. Bring it beatOmeatO.
A good place to start would be to red-flag all Demo rats.
OK....that’s two Deliverance references. I must defend my birthplace, and point out that the offending peckerwoods in the movie were in Georgia.
Hanging pretty good. Cortisone shot to shoulder...all better. Tooth pull next week. Wife git new hip Wednesday.
Tks
Really? Well, lets just go to the link and see.
Larry Beaver, unpictured, a Trump voter and Republican who owns handguns and assault weapons, said it was “crazy” that @BetoORourke came to the gun show in Conway.
He’s ok with a mandatory assault weapons buy back, but doesn’t think it will solve the gun violence issue.
No photo, no video, no audio, just pics of Frances at the gun show.
I say B.S.
Typically cameras are not allowed.
Whomever took those photos is using "rule of thirds" photo composition technique
It is the method of setting up a photo to properly frame the subject to make it's appearance more appealing.
So anyone that is going to get a camera into a gun-show would be someone working with Frances, that knows a bit about photography and would be using AT LEAST a pretty decent DSLR.
And there is not a single such camera in the US market today that would be used at that level by a photographer for a presidential candidate that does not shoot at least decent HD video above 1024 x 768 and with passable audio capability.
And it can do it with a flip of a switch, no one would know because there is no indication that it is recording video from the front of the camera.
And we are supposed to believe this "Trump voter and Republican is, "ok with a mandatory assault weapons buy back" would not be instantly targeted by such a photographer to get that money quote on the record?
Seriously?

Were the kinds of weapons O’Rourke’s security personnel carry available at the gun show?
I’ve got two words, followed by “...and the horse you rode in on.”
We may well be called upon to put our words into action. Stay with me brothers.
Actually.. I have a camera phone that takes super-hi res photos and video. It’s beyond comparable to my Canon EOS 5D, which doesn’t take video (it can be altered to do so, but no sound, because the camera has no mic).
Nokia Lumia 1020. It’s a back-up that one of my friends, a pro, also uses when he has an issue with a camera, batteries die or a lens is dropped; but it requires a battery pack for long-time use (more than two hours).
We took one to the House on the Rock, and it took such amazing photos and video. We also recently filmed the Big Boy steamer when it came through, and it was equally glorious.
However, I have never been to a gun show (I’m in Chicago; they don’t exist here), so I have to take you at your word when you say that cameras are restricted, and I understand why. One of our local armories doesn’t allow photos unless you’re a long-time customer they know personally. Luckily, I am one. I do think that they would make an exception for a politician, just to avoid the hassle and potential negative press.
“However, I have never been to a gun show (I’m in Chicago; they don’t exist here)”
Not in Chicago proper but there a gun shows in Lake, Kane, and DuPage counties quite regularly.

I will have to keep an eye out for them. Thanks!
That would absolutely do the job at 41mp. But it would be pretty obvious that whomever had it was taking photos or video.
So, same issues. I would not think Arkansas GS would be much different than Texas gun shows. Lawyers are the same all over.
As far as the 5D, it is supposed to have built in mono according to the specs which I had to use because...
I. Don't. Have. One.
:-(
But I am waiting on the specs on the EOS 90D which is releasing in about two weeks and maybe the 7D Mark III (hope hope hope) just after that.

Two Words,,,
Return Fire!
> No doubt the vast majority of vendors and attendees were laughing at Beto behind his back.
Behind his back? They must have more class than me.
Who?
I bought my Canon used for $299. I would have loved a newer camera, but newer means more expensive, and I don’t have any extra income to spend. The Lumia is a hand-me-down from my husband, who bought it new. I highly recommend one, if even as a backup, because you can pick them up used for a relatively small cost. I buy phones refurbished when I need an upgrade, and I’ve only needed one in the past six or seven years.
I still drag out my other Canon, circa 1982, when I feel like using film. There’s something about treating the film and exposing it yourself that makes it so special. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a lab anymore. It’s still special though, because it was my Dad’s camera, and it’s what I learned to shoot on.
Also, I noticed that I typoed. It’s an EOS 50D, not 5D. I found your response regarding mono sound to be odd, but when I reread it and saw that the specs were for a 5D (and that I made that mistake on the first place) it now makes sense. Apologies.
