GOP Rep Ken Buck Waves AR-15 Around On Twitter For Manliness

By Frances Langum — March 6, 2020

Ammosexual and NRA beneficiary Ken Buck (guess which party) thought it would be cute to tweet a threat to Beto O'Rourke and Joe Biden today -- with an AR-15 that appears to be handpainted by a glitter-happy Girl Scout troop.

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

Multiple people reported the tweet as threatening violence, and also engaging in utterly unsafe practices when it comes to firearms.

Every time I watch this, this part freaks me out. pic.twitter.com/r2wo76IrMO

Men are too emotional for politics. What a little ninny piss boy you are.

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."

AND THEN THERE'S THIS

I have just one message for Congressman Ken Buck, we the people, the voters, don't tolerate our representatives threatening gun violence.

There are 2 Democrats vying to run against Ken, please follow and support them.@Ike4CO @MelanieTomitsch https://t.co/2nkqNqy8AS
