The National Rifle Association (NRA) criticized comments by a senior federal prosecutor warning that approaching law enforcement with a gun could justify a fatal police response, saying such statements risk “demonizing law‑abiding citizens” as the nation reels from the killing of a man in Minneapolis by a U.S. border agent.
The NRA was responding to remarks by Bill Essayli, the first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California, who said that “if you approach law enforcement with a gun, there is a high likelihood they will be legally justified in shooting you,” adding, “Don’t do it.”
In a statement, the gun‑rights group called that view “dangerous and wrong,” urging public officials to refrain from broad generalizations and to wait for the outcome of a full investigation into Alex Pretti’s death.
Actions speak louder than words. Words mean nothing. Those resistance fighters received actual material support. What is the NRA offering? Platitudes.
Until the NRA takes meaningful steps to prove they actually care, they can shut the fuck up. They’re pretending to care right now because it’s politically expedient.
So, words mean nothing, but you feel a need to keep reiterating your point.
There’s an old saying, don’t try to get on the train before it stops.
Don’t get upset if people don’t change overnight.

“Change overnight”? We’ve had 5 years of that orange-painted rapist destroying everything it touches. If people haven’t changed by now, they’re not going to.

People began organizing for women’s suffrage in the 1840s. They got the right almost 100 years later.
Five years means nothing. Change is tough.
