I don't think the Communists can take away guns unless they remove the freedom of speech (effectively) and limit food access.


No one is going to take away anyone's guns. Americans own 434 million guns. And counting. More than three times the 133 million firearms owned by all militaries in the world combined.

Anyone who claims the Dems will take away guns is clearly not a serious person.

Oops j/k

Just got back from my secret weekly ANTIFA meeting. Turns out we are going to take everyone’s guns AND black Americans are each getting $1 million in reparations. Sorry :/

I am not anti-gun but I wish they would. I just realize there is no practical way to do it so it will never happen.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

It is too bad fentanyl doesn't work faster if fired into someone like a tranquilizer dart because then it could be useful to stop people with guns. The bonus is, you could give the Narcan on the spot to recover the person. If you have to beat them down when they wake up, you already have the advantage, and have taken away their gun.

Good to hear since it's in the Bill of Rights in which this country was founded on.



Although old, this article implies the media doesn't know how to look at numbers or they're just flat out fake news:

Does Gun Control Reduce Murder? Let’s Run The Numbers Across The World

APRIL 03, 2018

.
It really doesn’t matter how you slice this data. The conclusion is inescapable: High concentrations of private, legal gun ownership do not correlate positively to increased murders. Indeed, you can look at almost any slice of data and conclude the opposite: Higher private ownership of guns can be strongly correlated to lower murder rates.

I’m pretty happy with those results. That there is only a 50% chance that the Republicans would be stupid enough to let him be the nominee is a big improvement. I thought the chance of Trump being the nominee was much higher.

WHICH STATE THAT BIDEN WON IN 2020 WOULD TRUMP WIN IN 2024? NONE!!!!!

Someone from the left needs to talk to him so he understands.

Someone he trusts and will listen to.

No person should have to go through this.

Watch as Joe instinctively moves towards the baby being held onstage before his handlers rush up to whisk him away.
Sad.
