Where is that well regulated militia that we all needs arms to enable? When do they meet? Have they determined what and who they will defend the country against? The army, FBI, CIA, ATF? a bat**** nuts POTUS? DO they have regular training sessions so they will be able to defend the country?

Those suburban housewives will be a large portion of the vote in 2020.
Hope the FBI shows up on his doorstep. Congressmen shouldn't be talking like that, not with all the crap out there these days.

What Beto said was stupid. What Cain tweeted, was even more so.

So who is to be taken the most seriously? The person who yells "There's a gun!" or the person who has a finger on the trigger of the gun?

This Republican state legislator, Cain, did make a threat and so did myriad twitter followers as they liked him and responded.

This Republican, Cain, is the fevered, foaming at the mouth zealot:

* This week he suggested on Twitter that the Texas legislature should “abolish” the liberal city of Austin.

*In 2017 as a freshman lawmaker he was named, by Texas Monthly, to the top ten list of worst
legislators for his uninformed and belligerent performance(till then the publication exempted freshmen)

*Cain was kicked out of the Texas Democratic Party convention in 2018 after he showed up with a
sidearm and signs mocking gun free safe spaces.

*Following the nationwide student protest, after Parkland, Cain introduced legislation that would
revoke state funding from any Texas schools where similar walkouts took place.

IMO, CAIN'S twitter remark indicates that he is one of those mentally ill that Trump talks about as one who shouldn't own an assault style rifle. At best, he is a totally irresponsible jerk, especially with all the gun violence Texas has experienced...Nope, can't go with that because to Republican lawmakers, "Be Best" is just an East Wing trolling phrase and joke.

He wants us to believe him. He is a fevered, foaming at the mouth zealot who thinks it is acceptable to threaten a Presidential candidate. Using Robert Francis ( Beto's formal Christian name) in the tweet: Let us not forget that another Presidential candidate, Robert Francis Kennedy, was murdered by another mentally insane person.

And lets just not forget Trump's astonishing "second amendment" threat to Hillary.

nope. saying you're ready to defend something that someone else is threatening to take is no threat.

Please explain the Robert Francis in the tweet. You know, Beto's Christian name, that no one ever references or even uses, since he was a small boy. The same name as assassinated Presidential candidate Robert Francis Kennedy.

Nice try, but no cigar to those defending yet another despicable, indecent, ugly, morally corrupt and dangerous action by a Republican legislator.
