I don't think it's that surprising that Beto sees this. His senate campaign basically followed his advice here to a tee. He definitely strayed a bit from that in his presidential run, which is likely why he failed and why he lost a decent amount of his early support.
But despite his milquetoast politics, his understanding of strategy is pretty on point. He just needs better policy proposals that actually help working people.
You're not wrong. That's one of the policy failures he has. But he truly believes gun restrictions will help. So by going all in on gun control, he's still following his own advice.

Beto would have won the Senate election if he was pro-gun. That is my electoral hot take.
