Beto O'Rourke was on NPR and I am wondering if we should just ignore him or call him out on his lies? It's a genuine question. O'Rourke isn't seen as any kind of a front runner these days so maybe we should just ignore him.
On NPR he was talking about "assault weapons", AK-47's and AR-15's and about the UNIMAGINABLE wounds these weapons cause. He did not mentioning there are a variety of bullets these rifles can fire and that many other rifles fire the SAME bullets and that many, many rifles fire bullets MUCH MORE destructive and powerful.
He also went on about how the framers of the constitution didn't have these weapons in mind when they wrote the second amendment etc. etc.
So, ignore him or call him out? And by call him out I mean writing letters to the editor, posting comments to news stories about him and posting these lies right here on this forum.
The interview is about 6 and a half minutes long and can be found here:
