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

    Fucking hypocrite cunts.

      The NRA and gun rights groups have condemned Trump’s rhetoric.

      Seems like it’s just the UltraMAGA typical bootlickers that are rolling over for Trump.

      Nobody is having that conversation because of a comment Trump made. Literally no change to gun rights is being proposed or even suggested. People are drawing unfounded policy conclusions from nothing.

    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.

      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.

      A lot of good regulation only happened after the privileged started complaining/suffering. It is what it is. I would take it, but I don’t think it will happen with this “administration”.

        I bet Ed cameras in the you build in Texas Why that so-called law-enforcement was standing around while all those kids were getting murdered I’m sure they have video of it, but I also remember them editing out the audio of the video because of the screaming in the background why the agents were Standing around on their cells

          If you don’t understand the different reaction between something reported to have happened and something documented with multiple videos you don’t understand humans much.

            I’ve always said all legislators should be required to walk through the aftermath of an event like sandy Hook or Uvalde before they are allowed to vote on gun legislation. And while I understand why parents would never want video of that made available to the public, I also think it would make a huge difference in public opinion if it was–that’s why I say at least the lawmakers should have to see it (and sight isn’t the only sense of it they’d never forget).

              I have no doubt of any of that. They wont make it public and all the reasons they use will never be their reason. They don’t want us to see how they failed. That a exonerated coward stood by while it was happening and broke his oath doing so. That none of of the law enforcement on site had the courage to go in and end it. If that video would have been made public though it would have not changed the politicians that much. Far too many of them lack the ability to feel the pain of others. Its how they got to where they are.

    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.

            I agree that the success of Trumpism has been due to his personality cult and nothing else. But they are basing their power more and more on open violence, terror and propaganda. It is very well possible that they manage to consolidate this rule of fear before Trump becomes unfeasible.

            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.

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

    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.

    First he switched the right to pro-tariffs…

    Then he switched the right to not-anti-pedophile…

    Now switching it to pro-gun-control
