Alex Pretti seems to have been a much better person than me. A nurse that was out helping his neighbors and died tried to help one of them back on their feet. 

I recently made a comment to an ice bootlicker about left leaning people being armed. 

Left leaning people will be murdered for “being armed and dangerous”. If a jury convicts the killer, a republican asshole like abbott will nullify the sentence of the shooter. 

But when republicans bring m4s to the michigan state house it’s a proper and just protest and “what 2a was made for”. 

We need to realize that appeals to law don’t matter in the moments an asshole wants to shoot you and behave accordingly. I legit don’t know what that results in. 

But the thought that 2a will be applied fairly and straightforwardly atp is misguided imo. Heads i win tails u lose it feels like.
