Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick (R) responded to Joe Biden’s gun control partnership with Beto O’Rourke warning him what will happen if O’Rourke tried to confiscate Patrick’s AR-15.
On March 3, 2020, Biden announced that he would tap O’Rourke to head up his gun control push if he is elected President.
Biden was very clear that O’Rourke will “be the one who leads” the gun control push.
During a September 12, 2019, Democrat debate, O’Rourke said, “Hell yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.”
After the partnership between Biden and O’Rourke went public Texas Lt. Gov. Patrick said, “Joe Biden says a lot of dopey things, you have a whole list of them and play them a lot. The dumbest thing he has said is he’s going to put Beto O’Rourke in charge of getting our guns. I’m telling you, that just added two or three points to President Trump’s victory in November if it’s the ‘Biden and Beto Show’.”
Patrick also suggested O’Rourke should start his confiscation efforts at Patrick’s house. Patrick said, “[Beto] said he was coming to take our AR-15s. I have one, I want to invite him to my house first and see how that goes.”
You know what they say don’t mess with Texas.
Below is a full transcript from Beto discussing gun confiscation.
DAVID MUIR, ABC NEWS: I am going–I am going to work down the row here but I do want to come to Congressman O’Rourke because I know this is personal to you. El Paso is your hometown. Some on this stage have suggested a voluntary buyback for guns in this country. You have gone further. You said quote Americans who own AR-15s and AK-47s will have to sell them to the government, all of them. You know the critics call this confiscation. Are you proposing taking away their guns and how would this work?
O’ROURKE: I am if it is a weapon that was designed to kill people on a battlefield; if they 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 a battlefield and not be able to get up and kill one of our soldiers. When we see that being used against children and in Odessa I met the mother of a 15-year-old girl who was shot by an AR-15 and that mother watched her bleed to death over the course of an hour because so many other people were shot by that AR-15 in Odessa and Midland there weren’t enough ambulances to get to them in time. Hell yes we are going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.
