Texas GOP lawmaker reported to FBI after O'Rourke AR-15 tweet
By Aris Folley - 09/13/19 08:37 AM EDT

A Texas state lawmaker was reported to the FBI after he tweeted that his “AR is ready” for former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas) after the Democratic presidential hopeful said during Thursday night's Democratic debate that he would confiscate the weapons if he wins the White House.

In the tweet, which was deleted by Friday morning, state Rep. Briscoe Cain (R) wrote: “My AR is ready for you Robert Francis.” O'Rourke's birth name is Robert Francis O'Rourke.

A spokesperson for O'Rourke told The Guardian that his campaign reported the post to the FBI. His campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

Hmm, not sure what I think about this.  Surely the Texas Representative did not intend that as a threat - however we are not in his head - what if he did mean it?  One can be a killer even though he has a high office.  Out of great caution, then, the FBI should "visit" the man.

I take that it was just a suggestion for, if the impossible actually happened and Beto became president, Beto to come and take his AR15 first. He'll have to start somewhere. He was just suggesting a place to start.

I think Cain was taunting the skateboarding loser. As for the campaign tattling on him-ridiculous.

The words "is ready" means that it would be Bobby making the attack, not state Rep. Briscoe Cain. IOW, it is Bobby the Fauxican who needs a visit from the FBI, for threatening violent theft, not Cain. I hope Cain made those points and requested that Bobby get an FBI visit.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Under draconian "Red Flag" laws they could take Rep Cain's guns.

Oh, that is baloney and you know it.  The liberals are promoting these comments made in jest.  I think we could all say that because we have a constitutional right to bear arm.

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.
