At his campaign kickoff in Texas on Saturday, Beto O’Rourke earned cheers from his clueless fans when he said he wants to ban weapons of war:
Let's adopt universal background checks. No more loopholes, no more exceptions. And then let's ensure that weapons of war are kept on the battlefield and are no longer sold into our communities where they show up in our schools, our churches, our workplaces, and our streets. pic.twitter.com/gRDbCurasq

Sigh. We’re really going to have this debate over and over again, aren’t we?
And the crowd cheers. Not having any idea what a "weapon of war" is. Not having any idea what an AR-15 is. And not having any idea that an AR-15 is not a weapon of war. The crowd cheers anyways. They don't know shit about guns, but they cheer. https://t.co/NwQwlUUUOm

Enter actor Mitchell Fink, who added his Hollywood wisdom to this thread, declaring that the AR-15 “sure as hell isn’t a home protection weapon”:
Beto is a gun owner. The AR-15 sure as hell isnt a home protection weapon.

But it is! As conservative @LibertJen notes here:
It protects my home just fine. ?♀️

Now this is where Fink goes off the rails and clearly picked a fight with the wrong conservative woman. Sexist much?
I would bet a lot of money if someone broke into your home, you would wet your bed before you had a chance to grab your gun. You’re not rambo. https://t.co/7FgHXIFwNm

Yeah . . . she’s not the bed-wetting type, that’s for sure:
I worked as a cop for 11 years in one of the most violent cities in the country.
Sit down, Fink. https://t.co/nOQUmNayMc— Liberty ? (@LibertyJen) March 31, 2019

I’m not even some crazy bad ass. But I’ll be damned if some fk breaks into my house and they are not full of brass.

Come for the cluelessness, stay for the misogyny:
