Republicans: You can never take our guns!
Trump: Take their guns!
Republicans:
I'm pretty sure the whole "the police know who they are, they know where they live, they know their middle name" bit means not-white-male.
So, it's a 3-way tug-of-war between gun fanaticism, their reincarnated jesus, and racism
In my experience, if the police know who you are, where you live, etc, they also have a pretty good idea if you have a gun or not.
Yeah the frisking is code for police brutality
Republicans: yes I'm still voting for the face eating leopard party!
It wouldn't be the first time. Like when Black Panthers were enjoying their 2nd Amendment rights. All of a sudden Republicans jumped on gun control.
Wouldn't even be the first time for trump. He banned bump stocks via executive order after the Vegas shooting.
Good point. A ruling rolled back while the Democrats are ruling (albeit by the Supreme Court which heavily weights towards Republican).
The NRA must receive its blood sacrifice (and occasional payment from Russia).
Funny how a few weeks ago he was asskissing the NRA and gun community
Like anything with him, when the obvious happened now he'll suddenly change his mind.. and probably start saying something about Mexicans and "crooked Biden," isn't tough on crime which is why he got shot, etc
