A Republican lawmaker from Texas issued a barely veiled threat against Beto O'Rourke after the Democrat presidential hopeful said he would seize assault rifles behind many mass shootings in the country.

"My AR is ready for you, Robert Francis," Texas state legislator Briscoe Cain tweeted after O'Rourke's pledge in the Democratic presidential debate late Thursday, using O'Rourke's given name.

Asked in the debate if he is for confiscating assault weapons -- one of which was used to kill 22 people at a Walmart store in his home town of El Paso, Texas on August 3 -- O'Rourke replied:

"I am, if it's a weapon that was designed to kill people on the battlefield."

"When we see that being used against children... Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47. We're not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore."

After Cain's tweet, O'Rourke doubled down on his plan.

"This is a death threat, Representative. Clearly, you shouldn't own an AR-15?and neither should anyone else," he said on Twitter.



Well threatening to take private property and violate the bill of rights without due process is the definition of tyranny and is the very purpose the second amendment was meant to guard against.


Guns are regulateable. That's not tyranny. Sorry.


+1. We’ve had assault weapons bans in this country that have survived legal challenge. Seems like a Rep saying he wouldn’t follow the law. With violence.

Par for the course for a Republican, of course.


Thought crime against a pretend law vs reality. Beto has no right to take anything. And when he threatens he cries when told to try it.

From what I am reading, Beto is single-handedly damaging the Democratic Party with his confiscation promises.

Even Democrats are concerned.....

Good. He will be prosecuted.


Beto has zero right to go to this man’s house and take his weapon. If he tried to do so, he, Beto, would be shot or prosecuted.

Beto has no right or authority to enter anyone’s home and take ANYTHING.

He’s the criminal for threatening to take people’s guns.


If he was president. And there was a ban on these weapons with a buyback provision, he would be following the law. Or more likely, the ATF would be enforcing the law.

He referred to Beto as "Robert Francis" as in an assasinated Kennedy. The FBI is investigating.



That’s Beto’s real name, dolt. And no where does it say the FBI is investigating. It is being reported Beto cried like a snowflake baby to the FBI after telling everyone he was going to take their guns and someone told him come and get it. I don’t think it’s a crime to tell someone if they are going to break into your home and illegally take your stuff you will defend it.


Where did he say he would be illegally taking your gun? It would be under an emergency order, due to dead school kids, funding the ATF to do this, exactly like the wall. With just compensation.

You do believe in emergency orders, right?

"Buy back?"
The government did not sell these people their weapons to begin with. How can they "buy them back?"

I decided it was probably time to buy one while we can still get them, and they're already gone. The man at the store said there were people waiting in the parking lot when they opened this morning. He said one couple bought six, at a thousand dollars each.


The debate last night was the best to happen to that gun store owner since the latest school massacre, huh?

You've never heard of a buyback? It's done wonders in Australia.

"Australia confiscated 650,000 guns. Murders and suicides plummeted."

Huh? You've never heard of gun buy-backs?

Either you've lived your entire life under a rock or you're disingenuous. I honestly don't know which.

Too bad schools don’t have the armed guards our elected officials do. Too bad out school kids don’t have security our government buildings have.
