Beto Goes to Kent State, Argues Only the Government Can Be Trusted With Guns

Of all the places to argue that only the government should be trusted with guns, Beto O'Rourke picked…Kent State University.

Kent State is, of course, the location of the infamous 1970 shooting that left four students dead and nine others injured. The shots were fired not by private citizens but by members of the Ohio National Guard, who shot at a crowd protesting America's involvement in the Vietnam War.

Invoking armed agents of the state gunning down unarmed civilians is an interesting way to argue that Americans would be better off if the government forcefully disarmed private citizens. But hey, I guess that's why we keep being told Beto's an "unconventional" candidate.

And shamelessly stolen from the Instapundit comments:

I'm starting to wonder if he's a double agent troll working to undermine the lefties' platform.

I'm wondering if his next stops include Wounded Knee, Waco, and Ruby Ridge.

In fairness, he is so ignorant of history that he probably does not realize how stupid he sounds saying this in that forum.

That would make me feel Sooooo much better if he actually had a chance for the nomination! [/SARC]

My personal theory is that hes a viral marketing campaign being sponsored by firearms manufacturers.
