Let me translate this:
You (the Outgroup, meaning leftists) can’t have guns. If You (the Outgroup) does this, We (the ingroup, the right) will kill you. You have no rights, We have no restrictions.
Cool, cool, see you in the rice fields then.
In a twisted way, Trump is inadvertently trying hard to prove that more guns in the hands of untrained people with no background checks are a bad idea, something NRA was hoping to keep down. The cat is out of the bag now.
Anyway, fight girls.
They will whinge about this for a few days before he finds some shiny thing to distract them with.
I get the irony but if he managed to actually enact some form of gun control in this country it would be the hardest pill in the world for people like us to swallow who just can’t stand that fucking idiot.
Reagan enacted gun control in California
For the same reasons!
He also sent the military to Berkeley to deal with lippy students using words. Then 20 years later they all voted for him because they got rich.
As much as it has zero chance of ever happening, he pushed for a max 10% on credit card debt. It’d all but destroy some banks, and people that dont have excellent credit would largely have zero credit availability, but I think it’s a good idea.
Agreed. Short term pain for long term gain is something we desperately need to change but today’s culture is too lost in the system to ever deal with it.
If it meant a better life for my daughter when she grows up I’d do what I had to. I’m doing what I can but it isn’t much.
Credit cards is a money trickling up system. Banks charge the sellers and give a rebate to their customers. Sellers increase their price to compensate for the credit card fees.
And then the poor are denied credit cards and pay the marked-up price on everything, or are given credit cards knowing they will fail to pay back on time at some point and then pay huge interests.
It would be better for most if that system disappeared or was at least severely trimmed down!I deliberately seek out businesses with a cash discount.
insert “Broken clocks” idiom
He’d be doing the right thing but for the wrong reasons and in this case, for more authoritarian control
If we hold ICE protests in schools every day then the feds will work to keep guns out of schools?
YOU can’t have guns. THEY can have guns.
That’s not true. Rich people can always have guns.
It’s almost like 2a was built of ppl who value 2a and people who value power and nobody cared to different the two, including the 2a crowd themselves.
A federal agent did not kill a civilian. A Confederate soldier killed an American citizen.
Cleaned my rifles over the weekend, they’re cycling great now.
“Gun control” will continue to be a means of controlling undesirables while the fash base is still supported.
These current attacks are a good example. They’re attacking protesters in non-fashy areas. They’ll find similar ways of controlling guns for themselves.
If I were a left leaning gun owner in the States, I would offer the same rhetoric the right has been spewing every time sensible gun control is attempted:
MOLON LABE.
I do. And have my whole life.
The NRA is frantically running the numbers to see what will increase public fear, and thus sales figures for the gun companies, the most.

If they didn’t make a stand when he said “take the gun first, due process second” in his first administration, why would they do it now?

The NRA released a statement only hours after the shooting, in it they blame Governor Tim Walz for his “radical extremist protests”.
Ironically, thanks to the 2A loonies we don’t really need them anymore. Can even rifle a barrel liner using a car battery and a bucket of salt water at this point.
Print, [redacted], repeat
is there a more in depth write up on that process? that’s pretty sweet
What they are referring to is electrolytic etching (et al). Yes, you can get something approximating what is essentially tapping a thread, but I can pretty much guarantee you that anyone doing this in a shed isn’t getting that level of precision and is, arguably, doing a worse job than not rifling at all. The folk who DO know how to do this have access to machine shops… and the tools to do it correctly.
Regardless, the real problem is making the barrel in the first place. Anyone who bought a mini lathe or got a drill press on facebook marketplace thinks they can do this. They chew threw mild steel like butter! And… there are a LOT of recovered guns from The Troubles in Ireland that fractured or literally exploded after even moderate use. Because you need proper alloys to handle the pressures of repeated explosions AND need to machine it in a way that is less likely to fracture/chip the parts containing that pressure. And drilling through THAT takes much better gear and skills that go beyond “Only an idiot wears gloves”
Also… it is irrelevant to the topic of Ghost Guns. Because, in almost all cases, barrels (and springs and levers) are not controlled items. So you print what is controlled and buy a parts kit for the rest.
And you’re still saying you don’t have a king ruling over you , America?
He really shit all over your second amendment rights there. Wiped his royal butt with it.
he’s gonna start missing having CNN and NBC News in the press pool if he keeps this up.
I really think you all aren’t properly focusing on the word “you” here. By “you” he means “not them”… So he essentially is saying “You libtards can’t have guns, because us Maga-idiots will shoot you if you do”.
So this seems relevant again
Guys… what is happening to your country?
Not even sure if it’s “my country” anymore
Rich white conservative men have stolen it, now I’m just a “subject” I guess… lol 🫠
it looks like the start of a civil war. i hope it doesn’t come to that, but it really looks like that’s where it’s headed.
Probably not. North and South split more evenly than than Minnesota vs. the government.
If we keep society together and martial law isn’t declared before midterms then we might be good. We might go to sweep them without a civil war. But should martial law be declared or we don’t get the midterms for whatever reason…
Then it’ll fracture along state lines, ie states that have the wherewithal to stand up against the feds. Which if they don’t organize among themselves will be … California. Maybe New York. And the little ones will be steamrolled. Although I’d guess the purple states that insist on more autonomy and are more difficult to police (AZ, Colorado, Montana, Utah) will just sort of fly under the radar.
If only we were so lucky. Americans aren’t going to stop this themselves, the rest of us need to arm ourselves and prepare to defend each other
Read some history
So… Americans should ask France for help again?
Possibly
Unchecked fascism. Beware.
