FYI:

Beto O’Rourke arrested in 1990s for burglary and DWI

While he was not *convicted* of burglary, he has at least been open and honest about having been arrested for such. It makes you wonder if, perhaps, his psychotic and profoundly anti-American urge to disarm the public is due to him having realized at one point that he had been on a course that would have set him on a course to catching a bullet. It is not uncommon for people who have displayed near-terminal levels of bad judgement and downright stupidity to assume that everyone else is as fatally flawed as they are, and thus everyone else is is as much need of external control as they are.
