This story is months old but it bears repeating - especially in light of the Great White Texan Hope Beto O'Rourke's call for gun confiscation in the Democratic Primary debates. The hypocrisy is astonishing.

When Beatnick O'Rourke was fifteen he wrote a fantasy about murdering children. You know, Mr. Gun Control, the man who wants your firearms because you might go on a shooting spree.

This from O'Rourke's story:

Then one day, as I was driving home from work, I noticed two children crossing the street. They were happy, happy to be free from their troubles.I knew, however, that this happiness and sense of freedom were much too overwhelming for them.

"THIS HAPPINESS WAS MINE BY RIGHT.I HAD EARNED IT IN MY DREAMS.AS I NEARED THE YOUNG ONES, I PUT ALL MY WEIGHT ON MY RIGHT FOOT, KEEPING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ON THE FLOOR UNTIL I HEARD THE CRASHING OF THE TWO CHILDREN ON THE HOOD, AND THEN THE SHARP CRY OF PAIN FROM ONE OF THE TWO.I WAS SO FASCINATED FOR A MOMENT, THAT WHEN AFTER I HAD STOPPED MY VEHICLE, I JUST SAT IN A DAZE, SWEET VISIONS FILLING MY HEAD.”

"My dream was abruptly ended when I heard a loud banging on the front window.It was an old man, who was using his cane to awaken me.He might have been a witness to my act of love.I was not sure, nor did I care. It was simply ecstasy.As I drove home, I envisioned myself committing more of these ‘acts of love,’ and after a while, I had no trouble carrying them out. The more people I killed, the longer my dreams were. … I had killed nearly 38 people by the time of my twenty-third birthday, and each one was more fulfilling than the last.”

Not only does this bespeak of a dangerously unbalanced youth, it also illustrates the hypocrisy of O'Rourke, who clearly realizes the ease with which a killer can kill WITHOUT a firearm. And do we really want a man to be President - or Vice President - who used to fantasize about murdering children?

I know; this was a work of fiction and in no way indicates that O'Rourke actually intended to do this, or even thought about it. His CHARACTER was the murderer. But at such a young age to be pondering serial killing is rather disquieting. I never thought about killing anyone when I was fifteen. Oh, I might have felt the urge to choke the daylights out of some idiot, but it never went to the extent of writing fiction about mass murder. Makes one wonder what was going in in young Beto's mind.

And they accuse Donald Trump of being mentally ill...
