If you refused to waste your time watching last night’s Democratic debate, congratulations. You made the right choice. It was awful. Unfortunately, part of my job is to endure these travesties, so that you don’t have to.
If you did watch it, you know that Beto was eager to show that he’s still worth …something. He’s desperately clinging to the bottom rung of the 2020 ladder, and his grip is failing, so he needed “a moment” that would put him back in the hunt. He didn’t get it.

What he did get was a chance to tell you just how much he hates your 2nd Amendment rights, and the most popular weapon platform in America. Yes, Beto is going to take your AR-15. No, he doesn’t care what you think of that, and yes, you’ll be forced into what he likes to call a “buyback.”
Hell yeah, we’re going to take your AR-15. If it’s a weapon that was designed to kill people on the battlefield, we’re going to buy it back. pic.twitter.com/cCEWkG6y0X

Maybe someone out there bought an AR-15 from Beto, but I sure didn’t. I didn’t buy one from the government either. So, there’s no way for them to “buy it back” since they never owned it in the first place.
What Beto – and virtually every other Democrat – is talking about is a forced confiscation. They’re going to take your property and offer you a fraction of its value in return. If you resist, you’re going to be jailed.

That means they’ll need to go door to door, demanding that people give up their weapons. Should they refuse, well… things are going to get ugly.
Enter controversial Texas State Representative Briscoe Cain. He sent Beto a message via Twitter. It read: “My AR is ready for you Robert Francis.”
Beto freaked out.
This is a death threat, Representative. Clearly, you shouldn’t own an AR-15—and neither should anyone else. pic.twitter.com/jsiZmwjMDs

Remember, Beto’s confiscation plan would be met with this sort of language on a massive scale. If he were ever to implement his scheme, there would be millions of people who would reject compliance, and their anger would make this timid reply look positively quaint. Beto knows this. The left knows this. They’re explicitly saying that they’re going to prosecute resistors, so they’re well aware that plenty of people will be refusing to acquiesce.
Does Beto really believe that a sitting Representative has made a legitimate threat against his life? Apparently so, because the Texan man-child has decided to waste an FBI agent’s time with it…

So, to sum up, tough guy Beto is a super-cool skateboarder who’s going to forcibly relieve you of your firearms. He doesn’t care about your rights, and you WILL comply. Yet, the first time he faces even a faint whiff of blowback, he goes wobbly and runs to the feds so they can handle the scary Representative who’s kinda-sorta-but-not-really threatening him.
Pathetic.
In a few weeks, when Beto drops out. This will be part of the reason.
