Joe Biden likes the cut of Beto O’Rourke’s jib, at least when it comes to gun confiscation.
GOP Rep. Ken Buck isn’t a fan of either guy’s attitude toward guns.
But don’t take our word for it; take Buck’s:
I have just one message for Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke, if you want to take everyone’s AR-15s, why don’t you swing by my office in Washington, D.C. and start with this one?
Come and take it. #2A pic.twitter.com/jG2SiXetov

Seems fair enough. Tough guys like Biden and Beto should put their money where their big mouths are.

But gun grabbers are upset:

Listen up, "Buck". Threatening civilians with your "poor phallic substitute" AR-15 is exactly why no civilian should have one. Even if it is bedazzled and looks like something even Liberace would say "Honey, that's just gaudy, even for me."

Totally inappropriate to threaten lawmakers with an assault rifle

Sounds like you are threatening the life of a presidential candidate.

cc @SecretService @CapitolPolice @FBI Could you please go to @RepKenBuck office and have a “chat” with him that this kind of overt threat is impermissible pursuant to: 18 USC §351
Nor is it covered by the “speech & debate clause” or the “first amendment”.https://t.co/6RkRAGTkMm pic.twitter.com/uZ8hWUKEV1— File411 (@File411) March 6, 2020
@FBI Sure sounds like a threat to a candidate for President! Please take his military murdering weapon, he is not of sound mind.

Someone report him to the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office of Colorado! Death threat. @lovelifetodaypl

Where is Secret Service?! This is at least a suggested threat to kill Joe Biden by Ken Buck with his AR-15. This man should have ALL his weapons taken away under "red flag" law until he can make a showing to a judge that is not a threat. https://t.co/j95tOr8xP1

Your congressional office is not your private home. It is a public space.
This behavior is threatening and unacceptable. I feel unsafe with this in my place of work.
I have been in contact with the Sergeant at Arms to express my concerns. https://t.co/UTbNBXLziW

So triggered by the Second Amendment.
