Beto Claims Texas Gun Owners Want Gun Confiscation. Actual Texas Gun Owner Levels Him in One Tweet.
Presidential hopeful Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke has oft-repeated the claim that Texas gun owners are eager to have their guns, such as their legally owned AR-15s and AK-47s, confiscated from them by the government.
On Saturday, for example, the Democrat told MSNBC’s Joy Reid, “Texans who own AR-15s, they’ve told me, ‘I don’t need this. I don’t need it to hunt, I don’t need it to protect myself … if giving this back, or cutting it to pieces, or selling it to the gov helps to keep us safer, then by all means do it,'” reported The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra.

On the same day, Texas Tribune’s Patrick Svitek reported that O’Rourke claimed a “longtime Republican” spoke to him in the bathroom while they were urinating, telling the Democrat he’s all in for the gun confiscation.
“New O’Rourke anecdote: He says a longtime Republican chatted him up today in [Buc-ee’s Beaver] bathroom on guns,” posted Svitek. “He said, ‘This is gonna be strange — not strange that I’m talking to you while we’re both at a urinal … but strange because I’m telling you you’re absolutely right on guns.'” . . .

The stories from Mr. O’Rourke have grabbed the attention of actual Texas gun owners.
Hey, @BetoORourke, actual Texan here.
I regret to inform you that your request to buy my legally purchased firearms has been denied after your background check revealed a criminal record.
Don’t want to take any chances. Xoxo 😘 https://t.co/GAT1KRh0xy
