O’Rourke said in an interview later Friday morning that his campaign staff had contacted the FBI and Twitter regarding Cain’s tweet.

“I mean, anytime you have somebody threatening to use violence against somebody in this country to resolve a political issue, or really for any reason, that’s a matter for law enforcement,” O’Rourke told CNN.

“But it really drives home the point better than I could have made,” he continued. “Rep. Briscoe Cain is making the case that no one should have an AR-15 that they can hold over someone else in this country — say, ‘Look, if we disagree on something, let me introduce you to my AR-15.’ Absolutely wrong.”

So just to make sure we’re clear, Beto O’Rourke is already in the process of taking away our Second Amendment rights. He’s not even waiting until he wins the election. If you stand up to him, he’ll take away your guns. Because saying “Come and take it” is now considered a “death threat.” But saying “Hell yes, we’re going to take away your guns” is just policy.

Now, as of today, if you tell a potential tyrant who wants to take your guns away, “Come and take it,” that’s EXACTLY WHAT BETO WILL DO.

Except he’ll send in the FBI to do his dirty work for him. Because of course.

What do you think of Congressman O’Rourke and his pledge to destroy the Second Amendment?

This is exactly why even threats need to be protected as free speech.

Waas it really a threat? Come and take it. Maybe he'd hand it over if Beto had the balls to take it himself, we know he's not taking guns he's sending people for them

It is so sad that someone who has made his way to being a potential candidate for POTUS thinks that gun confiscation is a viable/effective option.
Is he really that dumb or is he just playing to the portion of the public that is that dumb?

He is swinging for the fences because he knows he ain't it.

 

[Uzi2]

At least he is being honest about his intentions

And so are 10,000,000 citizens who WILL NOT BE DISARMED.

This fvcking idiot Beta doesn't have a clue about the consequences of what he is saying.

 

[sigfanboy13]

Everything LEGAL, LAW-ABIDING gun owners do looks bad to these people.

Oh I know. But Beto did us a favor making the antis looking like rabid morons to moderates, let's not change that perception.

 

[sbi]

While I agree with the sentiment. It just looks bad.

I disagree. It's waiting for him to take... ;-)

 

[mikeyp]

Watch out, he may report this meme to the FBI

No, it’s not a threat. The thing is, by criminalizing threats, the government gets to selectively interpret any and all speech as threatening or not threatening. The government has no business exercising that kind of power over us.

 

[The5thDentist]

Briscoe should have the Texas Rangers go after Beta.

For something.

Anything.

 

[Shark_Cage]

Bloomberg, Soros and the other anti-enablers must be popping some significant rods after hearing this asshat last night.

 

[assaultknifle]

Maybe civil rights groups should start a #MineToo twitter movement to support

Howie Carr just mentioned that he will be having Cain on sometime later in his show. Could be an interesting interview.

 

[eboos]

A. Second Amendment ensures citizens may not be disarmed by a tyrannical government and have the means to defend against said government.
-Plus-
B. Texas lawmaker points out that O'Rourke's proposals mimic that of a tyrannical government.
-Equal-
C. O'Rourke using lawmaker's comment as a justification of tyranny.

I wouldn't be surprised if he just almost guaranteed that Trump gets a second term.

Historically, politicians that have been over the top with gun control have had their careers ended by voters. I hope that this will continue.
Oh, and what an ass-hole.

 

[ThePreBanMan]

Government doesn't think you need an AR-15...

Government will protect you - like they protected all those people during the L.A. Riots. Don't you remember?

Oh that's right, THEY STRANDED and abandoned practically the entire city, leaving it absent any kind of law enforcement activity for nearly a week during those riots. People were forced to take to the rooftops with their AR's to defend their homes from the roaming mobs who wanted to burn them alive, simply because their skin wasn't black...

The government hopes you forget all about that inconvenient truth... LA Riots before your time ... How about Furguson... Nope, no need for an AR there either. .Gov did a great job...

No one needs an AR-15...... until they need it...

If I was that guy I would be like "Hey he threatened us first, what do you think his plans are, to offer free hugs in exchange for surrendering a rifle?"

The democratic party as a collective is doing their best to pretty much rubber stamp him. As far as the left is concerned, the inmates are fully running the asylum at this
point. If they lose the presidency again, the dem/dnc meltdown should be pretty incredible. Although frankly, wherever the middle of that party is (if it still exists) it would do itself well to get the f*** off that boat. I mean this iteration of the democrats, this field.... most of the people running are about 10 miles LEFT of f***ing OBAMA... do they really think that is going to sell well in swing states?

Their plan, though, don't forget, is not to fail to cheat sufficiently this time.

 

[friscoeast]

Beto is such a Girly Man!

 

[Brewer]

While I agree with you and the fact it looks bad I have to ask the question....

What do people think the second amendment is about? It is not just about owning guns. It's about defending ourselves from a tyrannical and oppressive government...the kind Beto supposes...

They don’t think about it. Like all other security (physical, medical, monetary), that’s what the gov’t is for.

my guess is after the primary, the candidate will walk a lot of that shit back and pretend it never happened and try to present himself/herself/itself as a moderate, especially when campaigning in swing states.

They could play that game 10 or 15 years ago, but this is 2019 and when it comes to this crap, "Pepperidge Farm Remembers".

Example- Benghazi was a long ass time ago compared to the election, in relative terms, but I think shitlery's statements in the wake of that came back to cost her huge, politically.

Too late for that

All the shit they've been spewing since 2018 is in public circulation and being shoved down everyones throats every day by MSM

No way to walk back the woke olympics

yeah but the average voter is a barely functional retard with the attention span of a flea.

I have a t-shirt for Beto......

Nnnnnnoo. The average voter isn't. The problem is, due to the Donks, the intellect of the average vote COUNTED, is.
