Donald Trump Supporters Wave ‘Come and Take it’ Flags at Beto O’Rourke Rally in Texas
breitbart.com ^ | 9/16/2019 | Charlie Spierling

Posted on 09/16/2019 11:41:42 AM PDT by rktman

A handful of Texas supporters of President Donald Trump and the Second Amendment welcomed Beto O’Rourke at a rally in Texas with ‘Come and Take it’ flags.

Video footage of the event from Fox 4 showed one Trump supporter with a rifle slung over his back holding a, “Hell no you will not take my AR-15” sign. Other supporters held a Trump sign, a Texas flag with an AR-15 on it and a classic Texas white “Come and Take it” flag.

“We are going to buy back every single one of those weapons,” O’Rourke said at the rally as supporters cheered, “Get them off the streets.”

After the rally, O’Rourke defended his new stance on guns saying that if Democrats were defensive, they would end up with nothing on gun control.

“I think that we have to make sure we are bold, have the courage of our convictions and reflect the urgency of this issue,” he said and added, “There’s really no legitimate need for an AK-47 or an AR-15.”

“..“We are going to buy back every single one of those weapons,” O’Rourke said...”

No, Beta, you’re not.

My Right isn’t for sale. Nor is it up for surrender without a fight.

Nicely put.

...“There’s really no legitimate need for an AK-47 or an AR-15.”...

But there IS one for a 100,000 dollar car :)

Or a private jet.

Or a really nice, big house.

But ya know what, I NEED my Dodge Challenger because it makes me happy to drive it when I’m down.

I think if i can drive around in a 4,000 pound machine that can go in speeds WAY PAST what is a “legitimate need”, everybody can shoot to their heart’s delight.

My recreational toy is MUCH more dangerous on any given day.

How many gun accidents are there per day and how many car accidents?

aliens (UFO type),

Why limit the opportunity here.

You are more likely to have your car, person or house illegally entered from a grass crawling illegal invader than an alien that arrived from another planet.

There was not "flag" that started it.

It was a verbal reply from the citizens of Gonzalez to the Mexican government when the mescans tried to sieze (take with out authority) the small cannon that sat at the limits of the settlement of Gonzalez.

When the citizens found out the mescan army was coming, they scurried the small 2" bore cannon away and buried it.

Beta himself has inadvertently highlighted that need.

He is like a foolish puppy in the cage with a tiger. He does not know the stupidity of what he proposes, nor the dangerousness of it.

History of unprovoked violence... will escalate to murder rapidly if everything isn’t going the way they want it... unstable behavior... yeah, the US government would fail it’s own background check.

Guess I’m not on the mailing list to let me know their schedule. Driving past UNR last Friday and there were signs leading to parking for a barnie rally. Heck, we didn’t even know there was one. LOL!.

I did find this in the Reno Gazette Journal on line. Hundreds of college supporters who want their college paid for so yeah, applause. Fidiots. Meanwhile in Rio Rancho NM yesterday, thousands showed up for PDJT.

“The 77-year-old self-described Democratic Socialist opened with a typically passionate rebuke aimed at the nation’s top 1 percent of income earners, quickly revving up a crowd of hundreds of students gathered on the lawn in front of UNR’s Mathewson-IGT Knowledge Center.

He later won loud applause for his pledges to cancel student debt, make college tuition-free and end the war on drugs. His plan to create a universal pre-kindergarten program received a similarly warm welcome, as did each mention of Sanders’ activist-endorsed, $16 trillion climate change prevention plan.

Overall, Sanders’ latest appearance at UNR was less eventful than his previous stop on campus, when the progressive firebrand called out a small handful of pro-Trump supporters perched atop a nearby parking garage.”

Especially in view of the unsavory crowd you run with. Red flag.

This guy has grabbed The Third Rail of American politics and forgotten to let go.

Here's a dude who has BEEN TOLD WHAT TO DO his entire life.

Broke up the band because Daddy complained about "How the hell Bebo was gonna pay him back for these goddamn 100000 dollar loans to get an English LOLit degree at Columbian"

"Foss disbanded in part because O'Rourke realized he "wasn't that good at" playing music. In addition, O'Rourke said, his father pressured him about the student loans he had taken out to attend Columbia"

Then marries a billionaire's only daughter. Sanders wants him to go into the developer's business, so Bebo -- with no discernible skills whatsoever -- goes into politics.

After losing to Cruz, everyone (including Mrs. Bebo) wants him to stay out of politics, so he jumps into the presidential race.

Everyone wants him to get Tad Devine or someone with experience, instead he takes loud NY nutroot Lis Smith to dinner, who is sure to dump Bebo after Iowa and try to hitch to Biden-Warren.

After the debate, Lis told Bebo to pump and dump the gun control on the stump, so what does Bebo do? Confront armed Constitutionalists.

Beto has spilled the beans about the dim party’s intention to disarm us while at the same time ignoring gang bangers and illegals with firearms. I believe that the dims want all the law abiding citizens helpless against the armed illegals to create another crisis. Never let a crisis go to waste as they say.
