    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.

    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

      Weirdly, I don’t think it’s just a feeler. I think this is something Trump actually believes. I mean, the man is in New York billionaire, he’s not from American gun culture. Pretty frequently when there’s a shooting or gun-related tragedy he talks about taking guns away from people.

      You’re right that TACO is probably going to TACO and not do anything about it.

      On the other hand, this administration has been very clear that First Amendment rights don’t apply to their political enemies, and there’s no reason they’d feel differently about the Second.

      I can easily see gun rights going the way of small government ideology in general - a useful tool when liberals were in power, but counterproductive now that conservatives are running things. There’s no right to bear arms against a conservative government, only against a liberal one.

      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.

          Yah keep thinking that. The Epstein files are not the magic bullet you think they are.

          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.

    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.

    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.
