NRA: If Biden Wins, Bloomberg Wins, and Beto O’Rourke Will Be Knocking On Your Door For Your AR-15

It was announced today that billionaire Michael Bloomberg has raised over $16 million to help felons pay outstanding fines and fees to regain their voting rights in Florida.

The NRA responded to the news by saying, “If Joe Biden wins โ€“ Mike Bloomberg wins โ€“ and Beto O’Rourke will be knocking on your door for your AR-15.”

During a presidential debate in September of 2019, O’Rourke said, “Hell yes, we are going to take your AR-15, your AK-47, we’re not going to allow it to be used against a fellow American anymore.”

Trump supporter @LATiffani1 responded to the NRA tweet that she would not stand for that to happen, saying, “He can knock and be greeted the firm of Mossberg, Smith & Wesson.”

From Axios:

Bloomberg’s fundraising, in addition to $5 million from the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, has now paid off monetary obligations for 32,000 felons in Florida just before Election Day.

Voters who were already registered to vote, Black or Latino, and had fines and fees of less than $1500 were eligible for the payback initiative.

The right to vote is fundamental to our democracy and no American should be denied that right,” Bloomberg said via a spokesperson.

“Working together with the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition, we are determined to end disenfranchisement and the discrimination that has always driven it.”

President Trump has campaigned as a warrior for the 2nd amendment. Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said previously, “Democrats have shown they donโ€™t respect the Second Amendment, which will be one of many contrasts drawn during the campaign.”
