Democrat Joe Biden made it clear in Texas that he despises American gun owners by declaring former rival Beto O'Rourke, the gun-grabbing former Texas congressman, as his point man on what he called "the gun problem," the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.
"For Biden to embrace Beto should erase any doubt where the former vice president truly stands on gun rights," said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. "Months ago, we vowed to let nobody forget O'Rourke's brazen threat to take away people's firearms, and we meant it."
O'Rourke's presidential campaign crumbled after he declared during a debate in Houston, "Hell, yes, we're going to take your AR15, your AK47." When nobody else on stage at the time made any effort at all to counter the statement, Gottlieb said Democrats had officially become the "Party of Gun Confiscation."
Biden told O'Rourke in front of his Dallas audience, "You're gonna take care of the gun problem with me, you're gonna be the one who leads this effort. I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you, we need you badly." .....
One can only but guess at what methods would be dreamed up to infringe on rights, and attempt to 'steal' lawful property from honest citizens. As Gottlieb has opined, "it's a declaration of war".
