    Oh NOW it’s a conversation they’re willing to have. Not after 20 years of school shootings.

    Fucking hypocrite cunts.

    So let’s see, no Epstein Files, America First is out the window, prices keep rising, and now we’re going to restrict the 2nd Amendment.

    What exactly is MAGA in for now? The voracious Corruption? The virtuosic incompetence? The Pedophilia? Death Squads spontaneously forming firing squads and executing American citizens in the streets?

    Does this look like the kind of freedom you were voting for?

    Remember when he told people to get over it the day after a school shooting?

    But protestors getting murdered I by his this is when he calls for removing guns… From the protestors.

      It’s nuts right? If they ban guns from protestors, what reason will they have to shoot them? What deadly weapon will they say…

      Oh right, cars.

    Hahaha children are shot in the face. Who cares. A white man packing a concealed weapon is murdered by ICE. Oh noes we must have gun control!

    Get the fuck out of here.

    Edit: I’m laughing incredulously because the situation is so fucked.

        It’s about the feeling of safety. I mean could you imagine how terrifying it must feel just walking around a school, dragging a kicking and screaming 10 year old out and think to yourself… what if one of these kids has a gun and starts shooting! We all see it on the news every day… but it’s so much easier to watch when it’s just little kids trying to get about their day getting shot. It hits so much harder when it’s 30 year old trained gunmen that might have to face being in the line of fire.

        Or walking down the street just minding your business spraying pepper spray in peoples faces, and think to yourself, what if someone in this crowd has a gun. I’m only wearing 3 layers of body armor, and I’ve only got 15 friends around also armed with large assault rifles, gas masks, and tear gas to protect myself, maybe one person in this crowd, might have a weapon somewhere, and might even think about using it.

        Or imagine the fear they feel every time they burst down someones door, with only 10 other soldiers, and a mere inches of riot shield in front of them to protect them from these people that have a small chance of owning a firearm somewhere in the house, these brave souls need protection!

        I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in that kind of fear.

      I think this is more intended to remove the citizen population’s ability to retaliate against a tyrannical government. You know the thing the second amendment was intended for, according to some folks.

    California’s strict gun control started with Reagan because he wanted to disarm the Black Panthers. Republicans are pro 2A, as long as it is reserved for white conservative/fascist people.

    EDIT: Governor Reagan. So, before he became president, but 100 fold once he got shot.

    They are clearly trying to ensure that they will never be subject to a legitimate election again. Minnesota is a test for how many constitutional amendments they can break. Presidential term limits are absolutely the target. When the oligarchs no longer need their cult they will repeal the entire Constitution. Welcome to the New Confederacy.

      Trump is nearing his life’s term limit. A 3rd term from him personally is not particularly concerning. That’s still a red line in the sand that we should never allow anyone to cross but I’ll be surprised if he makes it through his current term in good enough condition to even pretend to be in charge.

        Trump is just a symptom. The christofascists in his ear are the sickness. Trump is there just to bulldoze through the Constitution and establish a one party system.

            Trump is the face. The oligarchs are the movement. What we are dealing with is a long festering tumor that has metastasized. Trump is the irregular shaped mole on the surface. The cancer has been there since the civil war.

        Maybe not, but what I see is more ideologically in line with the Confederates than with the Nazis. That was the secret sauce the whole time. They want the entire US government to be reset to the antebellum era and to pick up as though Lincoln never existed.

    This is definitely a feeler. As soon as the blowback hits he’ll change topic and prevent like he never said it. Of course MAGA will forget it too

      At this point it is just to aggravate the left side and direct attention away from the main issue, which is ICE murdering people. MAGA at this point only cares that they remain in power and they dismantle the liberal state. Everything else is chatter.

          The best time to get the files was years ago, when Dems held power. The files are heavily redacted and useless now. You’d think the Dems would’ve used the files as ammo, but I guess that’s a GOP strat.

    Settle down people. This isn’t what you think it is.

    They’re using this as an explanation of why Pretti was executed.

    They’re not suggesting that MAGA dickheads cant carry guns.

    While irreconcilable to any thinking person. These two statements can happily co-exist in the minds of idiots.

    This whole thing is “rules for thee but not for me”.

      Yeah, and they’re saying they should be restricted, moreso than they are. That’s not the traditional conservative position.

      They’re not suggesting liberals can’t carry guns either. They’re saying neither should carry a gun to a protest.

      It’s a bizarre position.

    Will Trump be the one who solves the gun problem in the US?

    Nope, because it will be, “Gun for me, not for thee.”
