Secondary question inspired by the article photo...

Why do #ICE agents carry #AssaultWeapons?

It's bad enough they have hand #guns (most should not).

But why long guns?

I think it's psychological warfare on the public.

Makes us feel more "occupied".

#ICEout ! #Resist #Fascism

The #law’s ban on what critics call #AssaultWeapons ban did not violate the #SecondAmendment because rapid-firing long guns “are #military-style weapons designed for sustained #combat operations that are ill-suited & disproportionate to the need for self-defense,” wrote Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, who was appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

Easy vote: Remove Elon.

If you remove #TheOrangeMenace, you get Vance.

#DonnieDumbass is an empty vessel. He doesn't actually want to DO the job, he just wants the POWER that comes with it.

That's why he surrounds himself with people who tell him what to do. (Remember in 2017 in a meeting that included Nancy #Pelosi… she convinced him we need to ban #AssaultWeapons. When he repeated it, the Right went nuts and he back-tracked immediately.) #ElongatedMuskrat

At what point do Democrats start to realize that maybe unilaterally disarming themselves and pushing to disarm everyone else capable of and willing to fight back against a totalitarian fascist state maybe wasn't the smartest idea?

Are you starting to get a clue why the people need access to military weapons, yet?

I think every world leader figured out during his first term that #DonnieDumbass tends to agree with the last person he talks to (remember the outrage after #Pelosi got him to agree with the need to ban #AssaultWeapons?)

His #TeamOfSicophants will get him to flipflop just as quickly.

Probably.

#DonnieDumbass has a long history of agreeing with anyone he perceives (at that particular moment) to be smarter than him (remember in mid-2017 iirc he agreed with Nancy Pelosi on an #AssaultWeapons Ban and he said he thought it was a "good idea" until the #NRA lost their collective minds over it?)

So, if someone like Miller suggests "tattooing ID numbers on 'illegal' kids", his reaction is "great idea!", not "Gee, that sounds familiar." 🤔 🤦‍♂️

How Routh knew Trump's schedule & got the gun?🤔

It’s the #Guns
"1994, Clinton, w support of both parties, signed to law a #ban on #assaultweapons & large-cc mags. Tt ban was allowed to expire in 2004 aft massive #lobbying by #NRA. In decade tt followed, accord'g to #BradyCampaign, #massshootings involv'g #deaths of 6 or more people increased by 347%.. abt 61% of #Americans generally favor stronger #guncontrol accord'g to Pew, & almost two-thirds favor #banassaultweapons"

It’s the Guns, Stupid

Today on TAP: Are we so inured to the premise that nothing can be done about mass ownership of military weapons that gun control has vanished from discourse and debate?
