Texas state rep. Briscoe Cain threatens presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke with gun violence.
- Thread starter Naijaboy
- Start date
If he gets killed because he wants to take military style weapons from people then this country is fucking done and I will fucking leave.
If they refuse to give them up and would end up resorting to terrorist action when avenues to secure the safety of the people are exhausted? Yes.
I don't know if there really would be an outbreak of terrorist activity to back up that right wing talk of taking their guns over their dead bodies, but if there was, then you don't have many options left but to do the right thing.
I think they mean law enforcement doing what it needs to do when Trump's "second amendment people" take the law into their own hands based on their patriotic paranoia.
Briscoe Cain is also in the local news for wanting to abolish the city of Austin, because the city decided to fund expenses like travel and lodging to get an abortion after the state made illegal to fund abortions themselves.
Oh, also, he's just a giant fucking pile of garbage vaguely shaped like a man.

Um, I seriously doubt that will ever be step 1. But some people will NEVER give them up.
Maybe they can just use some sleep grenades like in Metal Gear.
Beto benefited from this a hundred times more than this clown. US reps are elected by their district. Beto got national attention and is speaking to every voter in the country.
Good
Oh and the hottest of takes on CNN this morning
Even if Beto doesn't get the nomination every canididate now has to answer for what Beto said!

If only we stopped worrying so much about how much the rightwing extremists will cry and scream about issues, and do the right thing no matter what. Those people are a lost cause and we need to stop expending energy on them (besides trolling and shaming them). We need to focus on the complacent middle who need to be tazed and bribed to get involved and show up to vote.
I mean, back during the 2016 elections I worked at a Cabelas sporting goods store in Texas, and yeah, you did have people rushing in buying guns and Ammo saying shit like that.
What was interesting was the look of a lot of those gun nuts. They were (mostly white) older, most not in good health, some in really bad health, and yet they were cramming their carts with thousands of rounds of 5.56 and 7.62 for their AR and AK rifles. It's people like that which will be most worrisome in such a scenario because they'll see themselves as having nothing to lose.
Obama pretty much called it however many years back with this "they cling to guns and the bible" line. These are ignorant, fearful people who think the world is slipping away from them and the only thing they can hold on to to maintain a sense of safety and control is A)The belief that everything you do/like is objectively correct because god said so and B)The delusion that owning an insane amount of weaponry is necessary to keep their world from being destroyed by evil liberals.
How dare beto threaten to take their gawd given riiighhhhht to have assault rifles. Lolz, fuck people that think that way they're a lost cause along with nazis. Fuck em
These folks are straight up insane. We need to have some studies done to explain the emotional (and most likely chemical) fixation of guns to gun owners.
It's a point taken - people who insist on owning an AR-15 are probably the type of people that should not be owning an AR-15.
He's copying Trump. They think he changed his name as an adult to win the votes of hispanics. So they mock him by calling him by his full name.
Since when can you threaten someone with a gun?
Bullshit double standard. They woulda thrown my brown ass over the border if I'd done the same.
Lock that internet tough guy up. Take his guns and melt em into a statue of beto.

Everything the modern right wing movement is built on revolves around paranoia: toward liberals, foreigners, non-whites, government, Muslims, etc. How does the poor, put upon conservative defend himself against this flood of evil? Guns, of course. It's like a comfort blanket for them.
It's definitely steeped in racism but it feels like it's even more than that. Guns rights more than any other issue seems to drive out the most insane pushback. I'd say that some of these gun owners tie theirs guns to their sense of identity so much that losing them would be like getting castrated.
I bet if a democrat made a death threat against a GOP member, that you'd hear about it nonstop on the typical channels. It's really frustrating that there are pretty much double standards (eg GOP can pretty much do shit like this where as Democrats can't get anyway with this-nor should they).
Cool now that one of the gop has correctly pointed out that legislation can mean violence, although incorrect about this instance of it, can they stop clutching their pearls when people rightly call them out for inflicting harm and death?
You reminded me that this was one of my first thoughts when I saw that that was this blight on the universe's name. Then I remembered last dragon, then that he passed away. You are a jerk but a jerk with good taste lol.whats to stop someone from burning ol Briscoe County Jr out of his hidey hole since we know he's in there with a bunch of AR 15s and ammo...
holy shit i just realized Sho'Nuff and Brisco county bounty hunter are the SAME DUDE AHHHHHH
