Democratic Senator Joe Manchin to Beto O’Rourke: ‘not taking my guns away from me’
Okay, let us face it; Beto O’Rourke is not going to be taking any guns away from anybody because Beto O’Rourke is never going to be President, but just in case he pulls off a miracle and does implement his confiscatory gun policies Democratic Senator Joe Manchin has a message for him:
“Beto’s one human being,” Manchin said, according to a Journal reporter. “He gave his own opinion, OK? I think it was very harmful to make it look like all the Democrats. I can tell you one thing: Beto O’Rourke’s not taking my guns away from me. You tell Beto that OK?”
It is nice to see that there are still some Democrats out there who believe in the Second Amendment, they are few and far between, but Beto does speak for more Democrats on this issue than Manchin does at this point in time.
It is interesting to see the free pass he is getting for this comment by the liberals. Liberals were disgusted by comments a Texas State Representative that nobody had ever heard of before, Briscoe Cain, said in response to Beto O’Rourke’s plan to confiscate scary looking weapons. They claimed this comment was a threat and proof that he should not own an AR in the first place. Liberals also claim that when gun owners say what Joe Manchin said that it is a veiled threat but yet when one of their own say it they are silent…
malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium
Let’s put threat this into its proper context: An Irishman on a skateboard using a phony Latino name to appeal to illegal Central American voters should not be taken seriously should he?

This is going to be a close call as to just how far they reach… Just wished I felt a bit better about Trump’s position. Hope he doesn’t go wobbly.

I have to be honest, I do not trust Trump on the second amendment at all. I was worried about this during the election and then came the bump stock EO. He got a pass on that from too many people because bump stocks are more of a novelty item but it should have been a warning sign.
