False
Get your facts straight. Beto did not speak about gun control during his Senate campaign.
The year after he lost the Senate race to Cruz, Beto briefly campaigned for POTUS. It was during his presidential campaign that he brought up removing AR-15s and spoke about gun buyback programs.
Speaking about guns did not cost Beto the Texas Senate race because Beto is not a time traveler.
Beto never spoke about guns during his Texas Senate campaign. There were only gun-loving conspiracy rumors about Beto “taking your guns”.
He spoke out about gun buyback programs and AR-15s in 2019, during his brief presidential campaign, the year AFTER he lost to Cruz.
Texas chose Ted Cruz over Beto O’Rourke before he ever spoke about guns.

I was at a bar in Mexico for 4th of July when, due to a combination of alcohol, no situational awareness, and a strong sense of bodily autonomy, I accidentally started a riot of about 400 Americans, all college students and Hell’s Angels. The entire scene was scary-crazy. I ended up speed-crawling under the legs of dozens of bikers who were trying to grab me, and escaped into the night.
Beto didn’t say anything about guns until 2019, after he lost the Senate race, and then campaigned for POTUS.
