[quote]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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

Guns are regulateable.  That's not tyranny.  Sorry.[/quote]

What is tyranny to one person is not to another, which is a reason we have things like laws and the constitution and don't govern by your feelings[/quote]

You people are absolutely nuts

by the way:
