Former Texas congressman Robert "Beto" O'Rourke used the 1970 Kent State shooting to shame gun owners who showed up to his rally, but failed to mention that government employees were the ones pulling the trigger.
At a Wednesday rally at Kent State University in Ohio, the 220 Democratic presidential candidate called out gun owners who attended his event carrying so-called "assault rifles," accusing them of trying to "intimidate" him and his supporters.
"Yesterday, people brought assault weapons to our rally at Kent Statewhere 4 students were shot dead in 1970," O'Rourke tweeted Thursday.
"I told them nobody should show up with an AK-47 or an AR-15 to seek to intimidate us in our own democracy. We need to buy back every single one of them."

But O'Rourke failed to mention some very important facts about the Kent State shooting.

The Left uses the National Guard as its "government-approved militia" ideal... as long as it suits their purposes. This is a peek behind the curtain at what they really think about guardsmen, and the military in general.
Sometimes I wonder just how badly our uniformed services have been infiltrated.
Hey Beto, the fake Mexican, it was the GOVERNMENT who had the rifles at Kent State? Or hasn’t your billionaire wife tell you that night time story?
Just finished the full scan with no problems - seems like WND may not be what it used to be in more ways than one.
I’m assuming the 1-800 number was a ploy to give the attacker time to ‘play around”
I feel SO sham...
Wait...no I don’t
Hey Robert...sprout a pair, you communist bass turd
They were probably shot with M14s. Had the M16 made it to the National Guard by then? We still had them in ROTC in 78.
That sort of warning is itself usually a scam. Typically they want you to click on something, which will eventually lead to an attempt to install malware on you machine.
LOL! Ain’t NO way I was calling it but yeah it locked up the computer.
If I remember the photos they had the M-1s. Not 14s.
It appears that Beto is generally viewed as the asshole he is.
VETO BETO...OROURKE IS A DORK.

He is a wannabe. He wanted to be a US Senator and couldn't beat Cruz.
Then from his feeble mind, he thought, if he couldn't be senator he'd just ratchet it up to President. Now he's running last in the field since that other loser, de Blasio, dropped out.
He's about as mature as a high school sophomore who thinks he's cool because he's no longer a freshman.
He's never going to buy back our guns because he's never going to be president. So why all of the hysteria.
I mean come on. This guy eats dirt and can't even ride a skateboard. Presidential material? NOT!
Just dismiss him for what he is. A guy who thinks he's JFK until he opens his mouth. A guy with no accomplishments and yet people are taking him seriously.
The Pee Wee Herman of the democRAT presidential field.
Yeah? Obxxx never stood a chance. Never underestimate the stoopidness of the voters.
His real middle name is Francis not Beto or Francisco
Hi.
“but failed to mention that government employees were the ones pulling the trigger.”
To Beta O’Rourke that is completely acceptable.

An M1A would be more apropos for the occassion. Daisies optional.
Obama is half black.
And he promised to stop the seas from rising.
Beto wants to take away millions of guns from lawful citizens which they have a right to own under the 2nd Amendment.
You don't win presidential elections by promising to take citizens' rights away from them. Never going to happen in the US.
His real (?) first name is Robert not roe-burt-O. So, Bobby-frankee then..
Kent State was just an example on how best to handle the antifa threat on and off college campuses...
That's who they are and what their intentions are.
