Mayor Pete Buttigieg criticized some gun owners on Friday, suggesting it was sad that their “sense of manhood” depended on owning a gun. In an interview with TMZ Live on Friday, Buttigieg was asked about the Twitter feud between former Congressman Beto O’Rourke and Texas Republican Representative Briscoe Cain.
After O’Rourke told gun owners that “Hell, yes, we’re gonna take your AR-15″ during the Democrat debate on Thursday, Cain dared Beto O’Rourke on Twitter to come and take his AR-15.
Buttigieg agreed with O’Rourke that Cain’s comment on Twitter was a “death threat,” and the South Bend mayor admonished Cain for failing to have a more intelligent conversation about gun issues.
“[I]f it gets to where your sense of manhood is wrapped up in owning a gun, I think that’s where our culture is on the wrong track,” Buttigieg said, referring to the controversy.
Buttigieg said that a gun was effectively “a tool” and should be treated as such.
“We’ve got to think about the relationship we have with our weapons,” he said. “Look, to me, a gun is a tool. It can be used as a tool for hunting. You can use it as a tool for sporting. You can even use it as a tool for self-defense.”
O’Rourke’s campaign reported Cain’s tweet to the FBI and Twitter as a death threat on Thursday, as O’Rourke spent most of Friday taunting the Texas lawmaker for his tweet.
“It really drives home the point, better than I could have made,” O’Rourke said on CNN on Friday. “Rep. Briscoe Cain is making the case that no one should have an AR-15 that they can hold over someone else in the country and say, look, if we disagree on something, let me introduce you to my AR-15.”

Anal/Oral fixations.
Nice guns.
If it is a medical condition, then isn’t he admitting he is bigoted against people with medical conditions?
Pissing off 40% of voters is not the way to win support.
This guy is almost as stupid as the Irish Elf.
Has something strange happened?
The RATS are now becoming the Stupid Party and a small portion of the GOP seems to be listening to voters.
It's clear what part of "his" anatomy houses "his" so-called, "brain"...
Buttplug thinks “manhood” is something you put in your mout.
“Cain dared Beto O’Rourke on Twitter to come and take his AR-15.”
And to think, all my life I thought that I knew what a death threat is...
...or worse...
Perhaps Buttgig needs to spend about a year alone in a room full of guns, watching testosterone-filled movies.
A guy who likes wienie up his butt lecturing us on manhood? Now that’s rich.
And, Buttgig’s manhood is where?
I have got to point this out. His recent string of comments about the bible and guns and manhood are simply bait to get someone prominent on the right, perhaps Trump himself, to toss out an insult that can be construed (true or not) to be in opposition to his sexual preference choice. Then he can paint the whole party as homophobic (with his twisted evidence) to seek sympathy from the broader left. Victim-hood has proven to garner swells in support. Give him nothing would be my advice to GOP. He will sink himself without any assistance. If there is to be criticism toward his dumb positions, it should leave no room for being misunderstood every single time. When will the GOP learn not to fall into their baited traps.
No matter how he may think it is informed I would strongly advise Pete to keep his hands off of my manhood or their will be trouble!
Very good points. It’s a trap. don’t instantly take the bait.
He’s already starting to sound like Chicken Little, but for gays.
Some faggot who thinks he’s another man’s wife tells me how to be a man! Just like a democrap, lecture everyone one how to do something they have no clue on how to do!
I had no idea that my daughter bought her gun just to feel manly.
BTW, she got a gun to protect herself and her employees from criminals who have already tried to break into her business, and to protect herself and her two daughters when she’s out with them. That doesn’t sound very manly to me, but then, Butt-gig has no idea what ‘manly’ means.
Lowest common denominator with Dems, as usual.
Playing to the low-intelligence voting base.
> manhood wrapped up on guns
I’m ok with that. I’m not ok having it wrapped up in a $hitty rectum.
Buttplug later commented “My sense of manhood is wrapped up in another man’s buns.”
