AR15 owners across America just might be safe, for now, as the boy who would forcibly remove rifles, Beto O’Rourke, has called it quits and is dropping out of the bid for the democrat Presidential nomination. The white Irishman with the Latino nickname made the announcement via his twitter feed, in tandem with a long winded rhetorical bloviation on a Medium post:

Our campaign has always been about seeing clearly, speaking honestly, and acting decisively. In that spirit: I am announcing that my service to the country will not be as a candidate or as the nominee. https://t.co/8jrBPGuX4t — Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) November 1, 2019

Let us continue to fearlessly champion the issues and causes that brought us together. Whether it is ending the epidemic of gun violence or dismantling structural racism or successfully confronting climate change, we will continue to organize and mobilize and act. — Beto O'Rourke (@BetoORourke) November 1, 2019

President Trump responded to the news:

Oh no, Beto just dropped out of race for President despite him saying he was “born for this.” I don’t think so! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 1, 2019

Elizabeth Warren chimed in as well. Maybe she’ll be the one who takes up the mantle of wanting to confiscate guns.

Thank you, @BetoORourke. Your commitment to ending gun violence and uplifting the voices of the victims and their families has made this presidential race—and our country—stronger. I look forward to working together in the fight to end gun violence. — Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) November 1, 2019

Along with Kamala Harris announcing yuge cuts to her campaign staff, we are starting to see the dominoes fall. Only the least weak of the weakest will survive.
