'You tell Beto that, OK?' Seems safe to say that Dem Sen. Joe Manchin is not on board with Beto O'Rourke's gun confiscation plan

In case you missed it, Beto O’Rourke still thinks he’s gonna take your guns away:

To be clear: We will buy back every single assault weapon.

We‘ll also license every gun & do a background check on every buyer. That’s what the American people want—and deserve.

The only thing stopping us from ending this epidemic is you & your cowardice. Do the right thing. https://t.co/lPqAv1r9ij

When kids go back to school, they have plenty to worry about. They shouldn’t also have to wonder if they’re going to make it home. We need to buy back all of these assault weapons.

The majority of the country supports background checks, licensing, red flag laws, and yes, a mandatory assault weapons buyback.

The party is with us, the country is with us.

Now it’s time for Democrats to lead.https://t.co/exwhPYGEtw

Yeah, well, Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin has some thoughts on that:

This is not a drill:

Dem Sen. @JoeManchinWV on Beto pledge to confiscate AR15s:

"Beto's one human being. 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: @BetoORourke's not taking my guns away from me. You tell Beto that OK?"
