PLANO — Beto O'Rourke on Sunday said Democrats should be bolder in their approach to issues related to gun control, immigration, criminal justice and climate change.

"I'm a lifelong Democrat," O'Rourke told about 300 people outside of Artcentre of Plano. "For too long Democrats have played defense ... but just like Lucy with the football, every single time that we put our best foot forward and move forward in the spirit of consensus and comprise and start in that middle position, we lose it."

O'Rourke called for a different, less compromising approach, noting that attempts at consensus building have led Democrats to vote on hundreds of miles of border fencing, mass deportations that break up families and a mass incarceration of minorities.

Please take his advice.

[Bommer]

He ain’t buying them back, he said he was “taking them!”

[dsrtsage]

Can’t project tyranny on an armed populace, after all

[RooRoobird20]

Ole TWO percent Beto thinks he’s really really important LMAO.

[Spruce]

This assh*le doesn’t even realize that dinks like him are why we have the 2nd amendment.

Wasn’t “brave” Beto O’Rourke’s position entirely different just last year ago? What changed besides the electorate (Texas general election vs. national Democratic primary)? After his presidential candidacy fails and ends, will he run for Senate in Texas again in 2020? If he does, will O’Rourke keep his current stance or flip-flop back to his 2018 position and say some B.S. such as “I was just emotional after El Paso, I didn’t mean it”?

Beto's fake modest name, the ordinary clothes, the old drunk driving thing, the bit about being a Punk Rock Drummer:

I have to conceed he does a good job pretending to relate to you, to being Just Like You.

But did you know Beto's ullllltra-fancy High School cost $50k yearly..? Not college, okay? HIGH SCHOOL. Here is a sky shot:

Woodberry has it's own GOLF COURSE:

A high-school golf course, wow, playing flinch and Titty Twister on the way to the next hole..? Wow. Sheesh, that's pretty impressive.

And Beto, the gun who openly declares he'll take your guns away..? In this diversity shot below you'll see the SHOOTING RANGE at his high school:

His form is all effed up, btw, sorta weird for the son of a potentate from Africa, where shooting well is usually a requirement.

Remember Lovey and Thurston Howle?

Beto's upbringing would have made them seem like HOBOS.

Beto won an award at Woodberry for "Imaginative Poetry". Nice, eh..?

"We'll just have to make do with a bit of LaCrosse throwing around near the Azelea garden, I'm afraid, ole boy..."

Beto has NOTHING in common with you at all and his stupid name is an INSULT, considering what you see here about his life on a different planet.

Tell your friends about unrelatable, rich liar, "BETO".

You might be playing defense in several different ways...

[TADSLOS]

But those who braved the heat and missed the Dallas Cowboys defeat the Washington Redskins said they were still behind Texas' favorite son.

Favorite Son? LMAO.

Are they willing to brave the bullets coming their way attempting to take my firearms?

[Lurkinanloomin]

Australian style gun control is what Hillary had in mind.
Beta Boy is not the first Democrat to reveal the end game.

“Beto O’Rourke won’t back down on AR-15 buy back, says Democrats should stop playing defense”

THE MOST offensive in history should stop playing defense!?

[PGR88]

Beto is closing his eyes and heaving a hail-Mary to try and remain relevant in the Democrat Party for 2020.

[Captain Compassion]

Buy back. With as many as 8 million Ar-15 type rifles in circulation that well over 6 billion dollars. What would the government do with them? Destroy them? Sell them to police forces or third world countries?

[RandallFlagg]

Slack-jawed drunk driving burgling wannabe tyrant wants a war.

[Eddie01]

Bar top Bob. What a gift to the conservative movement.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

With his criminal record, he can’t buy it back.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You can’t “buy back” something that you didn’t sell.

[American in Israel]

I think buying them from us with our money at gunpoint is pretty clearly taking them in violation of the Constitution that legimitizes him.

And it is also a declaration of war by that illegitimate government.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

We have a cornucopia of such gifts these days.

Unfortunately.

[LegendHasIt]

Buy Back?

Yeah, sure, Beta. You can buy back every firearm YOU sold me.
