Another MAGA lunatic goes on a shooting spree. What a great well-regulated militia we have here.

When one trusts the environment, guns seem like a bridge too far for some. When #ice comes to town, trust diminishes to the point where guns are on the table again, including the inherent risks.

Gun permit applications, demand for classes skyrocket amid Minnesota ICE surge

January is typically a slow month at Frontiersman Sports, but employees at the St. Louis Park, Minnesota, gun shop said sales spiked 30% above normal for the month.

TWO QUESTIONS:

1) Why is the Brontosaurus in both the "are" & "are not" boxes?

2) Shouldn't we put the #2ndAmendment in the "don't but are" box? 🤔

MAGA freaks out as Trump turns gun-grabber after Minneapolis shootings

MAGA voters thought they were supporting someone who would guarantee their gun rights, but since it has become more convenient for Donald Trump to blame the ICE killing of Alex Pretti on the presence of Pretti's gun, Trump has exposed himself as a squish on the Second Amendment. Now his hand-picked, former Fox host U.S. attorney, Jeanine Pirro, is talking tough about gun laws and taking guns away, and the problems this is causing among Trump's base of support may exceed the ability of normal damage control.

Not how I view it, but the optics...

A perfect #2ndamendment storm for racism. My word.

Someone of Mexican ancestry that works for #CBP shot a white guy who was legally armed (and disarmed, we believe).

There are at least a few 2nd amendment folks that will be confused or worse...
