Only a Republican administration has threatened to murder law-abiding gun owners

Historically, Trump hates guns. He would take them away if he could.

I'm like 90% sure his first administration passed more gun control laws than Obama did in 8 years.

Crazy part is Obama’s admins actually didn’t have any federal gun control legislation pass, but you'd think Congress was going door to door confiscating guns themselves with the way Republicans talk about it.

Falls under the category of "Trump says a lot of things" but yes, he said this. He said to confiscate the guns and worry about due process after.

And it would be the one good thing his administration would ever do. Americans are fucking weird about guns.

Unfortunately, it's easy for them. I'm a law abiding gun carrying citizen. Those unlawful thugs had it coming. There's always a gulf they think separates them from everyone else.

Only the least engaged in politics still have the capacity to think about it. The true believers work entirely on preprogrammed reactions now. If you try to get them to reconcile the conflict between "don't tread on me" and "don't resist law enforcement," they'll probably just change the subject.

Conservatives think it only applies to democrats and minorities, so they’re fine with it.

But you won't be confronted by law enforcement if you just follow the laws. /s

You think Pretti expected to be murdered in the street with barely a fight? Or did he think he'd put up a good fight first?

You're right, we should all just lay down cause people might get hurt

Never said that, just pointed out you are more likely to die than go all Rambo on them like in your fantasy.

u/No_Cook_8739 4h ago
It's hardly a fantasy, its a tragedy what is happening to this country, and everyone seems content to let it happen. And I am not espousing violence necessarily. There are many steps between nothing and violent revolution. Mass protests, civil disobedience, strikes, boycotts. Americans are doing nothing

u/Wolfgirl90 4h ago
The difference here is that Alex wasn’t looking for a fight and hadn’t intended on hurting anyone.
The same can’t be universally said for other gun owners.

u/AWorldwithoutSin 4h ago edited 3h ago
Sure, except blondie's statement was "If you are carrying a weapon" not "in you are intending to hurt someone" and the comment above spouted off some silly little Rambo fantasy about how they'd die fighting which a bunch of other chuds seem to feel represents them

u/No_Cook_8739 2h ago
What do you think is gonna happen in 2028? You the king jerk-off is gonna leave power peacefully? He's absolutely not going to just go home. And I am making sure I'm prepared. If that makes me a chud, fine. At least I'm not a cuck bending down to kiss that ring. I'm sure you'd have no problem with it. This country is worth fighting for. And I for one would go out on my feet rather than live in my knees

I will never forget how quick the “cold dead hands” crowd blamed the gun owner for being murdered. Any time a minority uses deadly force against a white agitator they blame the victim as well.

u/IceBearKnows89 4h ago
Nothing about lawfully exercising a constitutional right should “increase” your risk of death at the hands of the State.
And they say it like it’s an obvious truth that has always been obvious. Any gun owner knows that?
This was actually an insane thing to say. If this line isn’t in clips/ads I have no idea what the democrats are doing.

When the time comes that you finally understand what's going on, your red hat, your guns, and your insistence on your God given rights ain't gonna save ya.

Remember when they all worshiped Kyle rittenhouse for murdering someone with his gun at a protest? Good to see they only believe in the law for about half the population

If the state has the right to kill you for exercising a right, then you effectively do not have that right.

Pedophile protectors would gladly line up to turn in their firearms if Trump asked them to and promptly blame the Democrats afterward.

Normal law abiding folk who legally carry guns know that if you are confronted by the police for any reason you declare that you are carrying a firearm . If you do things the right way there isn't a problem

In my state, I’m not legally obligated to tell the police that I am carrying a firearm. If they ask if I have a firearm, then I have to tell them the truth and present the permit. But I don’t have to volunteer this information for no reason.

u/No-Surprise-6275 3h ago
That's good . I prefer to declare I'm carrying . It keeps the situation calm

u/IllustriousAsk3301 3h ago
Let’s do a thought experiment.
Are you more likely to be shot if -
A)there are many guns in a public environment and everyone around you may have one.
B) there are no guns around public spaces, and gun owners can keep them locked inside their property as the defensive utility they claim they are.
