    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.

      It was wrong then, and it’s wrong now. Let’s not pretend that Democrats aren’t just as happy to disarm minorities as the Republicans.

    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.

      I’ll never forget the surprised Pikachu faces on all of those armed MAGA chuds on January 6th when one of them actually got shot.

    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.

    Whaaaaaaaat! The guy who said “Take the guns first, go through due process second” is suggesting they take your guns? Its almost like he says what he is going to do before he does it, Im sure absolutely no one saw this coming.

    He just wants ICE, Fascists, 2A-toters and white rednecks to be armed.

    He doesn’t want blacks, LGBTQ and enemies of the government to be armed.

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

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

    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?

          It probably will happen, I’m pretty sure Hitler labeled people against him as having a mental disorder and used that as a further excuse to arrest. Can’t find much about it now because anything entered into google even hinting at mental disorder and Hitler or Third Reich comes up with articles questioning Hitler’s sanity.

          Anyway, Its how they control and dehumanize, just say you’re not mentality fit because you’re against dear leader.
