Beto O'Rourke speaks to supporters in Tucson

TUCSON, Ariz. — Presidential candidate, Beto O'Rourke, was greeted by a friendly crowd at Gentle Ben's on Sunday.

"Very grateful to be the first presidential candidate to come to Tucson and the welcome today could not have been any kinder, any warmer, anymore powerful," the Democrat said.

O'Rourke broached issues before supporters that have been contentious on the national stage and in Arizona.

"The issue of the second amendment is very polarizing and you say you want to unite people...how would you negotiate or speak to these folks who feel [differently] on this particular issue?"

"To be clear we're talking about weapons of war: an AR-15, an AK-47, is a weapon designed for use on a battlefield. It's devastatingly effective at killing people."

The irony of the article is that appears on the site for a TV station that includes the word "gun" in its call sign.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
