Colorado Congressman Wields American Flag Assault Rifle, Taunts Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke to ‘Come and Take’ It – By Ewan Palmer (Newsweek) / March 7 2020
A Republican congressman challenged Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke to “come and take” a semi-automatic rifle which he keeps on office wall in response to the pair’s stance on tackling gun violence in the U.S.
In a video message, Colorado Rep. Ken Buck can be seen holding an AR-15 which has been painted with the American flag.
“I have a message for Joe Biden and Beto O’Rourke, if you want to take everyone’s AR-15s in America, why don’t you swing by my office in Washington, D.C. and start with this one,” Buck says as he takes the gun off his wall and poses with it.
“Come and take it.”
In a statement, Buck added, “I have always been a strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment and will continue to stand up to any attacks on the law-abiding gun owners of Colorado’s Fourth District.”
The video was posted after Biden told a rally in Texas that O’Rourke—who is now backing the former Vice President for the democratic nomination—that the former congressman could help him with addressing gun violence.
