got a rise out of a congressmen when he said during Thursday's presidential debate that he wants to take assault weapons away from everyone who possesses them ... in the form of a not-so-veiled death threat.
O'Rourke gave a stirring answer to a question about assault rifles, saying,"Hell yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47," adding,"If the high-impact, high-velocity round, when it hits your body, shreds everything inside of your body because it was designed to do that so that you would bleed to death on the battlefield.", who fired back on Twitter,"My AR is ready for you Robert Francis.
O'Rourke stated the obvious on twitter, calling it a"death threat." What's more ... his team reported Briscoe to the FBI.
This article is complete bullshit. TMZ is a joke.
Really, TMZ? Really?! 🤷🏻♂️
Missed the actual death threat towards beta. But is everyone good with a drunk driver that ran from the law?
Drink driving the wrong way down the highway is also banned, Beto
No he was not if anything Beto treated the American people
FakeNews turning into FakeNewsCNN
Bullshit. You got it totally wrong.
I will never read/watch/follow TMZ. Cali just banned ICE and private prisons increasing violence among its citizens and this is the crap you’re worried about. He never threaten death...
I guess it isnt a threat to say I'm coming to take away your personal property. And if you dont comply you will go to jail.
So the term snowflake is actually true
🤦🏻♀️ do better tmz
Completely false. Congressman vows self defense if Beta Orourke illegally violates Constitution. There, fixed it.
FakeNews by TMZ
I want to hear about Teigan for the 20th time this month on her and Legend
Wrong. The threat was from Beto. Threatening someone with lethal force to take away their property when they have not committed any crimes and is an otherwise peaceful human being is the crime. Someone expressing that they will defend themselves and their families is not.
Y’all sayin it wasn’t a death threat.. but if I say my guns ready for you what the hell is that supposed to mean?
Come get mine, Beto - dare you to try
All you republicans saying it wasn’t a death threat... your moral compass points to whichever way you want it too and to fit your own agenda. Which is why when you start cackling your prolife BS, my stomach turns. You don’t care about life, you care about your party winning.
That isn’t what happens this is fake news. He said he would take his guns. He replied no you won’t try and get them. That isn’t a death threat
THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH TMZ. Thanks for announcing that you are just another leftist propaganda clone, and everything you report and choose not to report should be considered with that in mind. Also, you're LIARS. What he wrote was a threat to defend his rights.
NOT TRUE!!! he simply said to come get his AR!!! no death threat at all
fakenews
If you want to construct your argument with that interpretation, you could also flip it and say Congressman tells Beto his AR is cleaned, empty and ready for confiscation.
Cons: It wasn't a death threat, he was just offering up his accounts receivables!
Can we just call him Robert already?
Seriously TMZ you're better than that... you know very well that it wasn't a threat. Beto reacted childishly at the comment. It was a challenge to his statement. Im sure many in my state would've made the same exact comment. I did.
False. FakeNews
Was he tho?
Baloney.
Lock him up
🙄
yup.. only in trumps America.. lol
No he wasn’t. Just stop it.
It’s a figure of speech.
An AK-47 is an assault weapon, a AR-15 is not, the twit from Texas at least got part of it right.
Snowflakes
What an a hole
It Robert Francis o’rourke. He is not Hispanic he is American. He is just ashamed of being American
He was not threatened with death, stop sensationalizing
Lol
Bad waste of crazy. That d-bag isn’t getting the nomination.
The Dem Progressives in the USA are FuckCancer. They are what divides us as a people & will ultimately cause CivilWarII.
Actually he is wrong , more harm can be done by a 9mm then those weapons. Hence why LEO use them as daily weapons.
The constitution gives you the right to own a gun, but doesn't tell what type. Looks like it's back to muzzle loaders for you tiny dick people out there.
There’s absolutely no reason to own an assault riffle in the US people.
there’s absolutely no threat. this guy is a threat considering he thinks he can buy back 300 million guns in circulation lmao
Threating to kill someone with an assault rifle doesn’t really help your non-assault rifle ban case.
Shut up
Probably not the first time.
Thief: I’m gonna take your wallet Victim: come and get it... Thief: Why are you threatening me?
He won’t win so nobody freak out. You will keep your weapons
More fake news from TMZ...
The fbi needs to investigate BetoORourke was threatened aoc had her picture burned. We must keep eachother safe from hate whenever it comes.
ArtRich7 And succeeds in making the case for why weapons of war should be regulated. They are meant to be used by soldiers. If you want to tote around an assault weapon, join the military GunReformNow
Fuck beto ... boogie boogie boogie.
What death threats? Did he say “I’m going to kill you?”
HotCivilWar - Go ahead: Take the guns.
He will be safe in his cry closet as the non threat fades into distance. He has an emotion support Furby to help.
When did TMZ become a mouthpiece of the looney left as well? Oh wait.
Exactly why we need a ban ... these gun nuts makes it easy with threats of violence
FakeNews alert
He said he is coming for the guns. Man said his gun is waiting. Where is the threat?
OMG
