Former Texas representative and 2020 presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke visited the Virginia Tech Campus last Friday where he expressed my sentiments exactly. He railed against Congress for not doing enough to stop gun violence after yet another mass shooting. After a gunman in west Texas left at least five dead and 21 injured, O’Rourke told us that “there is no reason” Americans should live with such gun violence. “Not sure how many gunmen, not sure how many people have been shot. Don’t know how many people have been killed, the condition of those who have survived. Don’t know what the motivation is, do not yet know the firearms that were used, or how they acquired them. But we do know that this is fucked up,” he said. Yes, he said it—to over 500 people.
