No, a Texas State Representative Didn’t Threaten Beto’s Life with an AR-15

After Thursday’s Democratic debate, a Texas lawmaker’s response to Beto O’Rourke’s unconstitutional gun-grab plan resulted in accusations of death threats and social media shaming.  It was the most exciting – and disappointing – part of the whole, long debate. 

The new Democratic platform is far left on every issue, though they try to hide it.  For example, the Democrats have insisted they have no intention of taking away our guns.  Former Vice President Joe Biden recently promised as much. “There’s no constitutional authority to issue that executive order when they say ‘I’m going to eliminate assault weapons,’ because, ‘you can’t do it by executive order any more than Trump can do things when he says he can do it by executive order.’”

During the debate, however, one candidate went off message and accidentally revealed the truth. O’Rourke, who has made gun-control a main platform for his campaign, had previously said he believed gun owners would voluntarily give their weapons to police officers. 

He apparently has never met a gun owner. 

But during the debate, he suddenly changed course.  “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47,” he boasted. “We’re not going to allow it to be used against our fellow Americans anymore.”
