Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

He did have a gun.
He was being a responsible citizen, exercising his 2nd Amendment rights with a holstered weapon, in compliance with Minnesota law.
Gestapo thugs tackled and beat him, unholstered and removed the firearm from his side, and only then did they unload 9 bullets into him as he laid unarmed and beaten on the street.
But as you'll see, and as anyone who's ever paid attention to the 2A fascist assholes will know, they suddenly become hyper anti-gun the moment its someone they don't like exercising their rights.
That sure sounds like something the NRA should have an opinion about
The NRA exists solely for the profit of firearms manufacturers.
This won't hinder their sales,so the NRA won't care.
Their sales will actually go up as more people on either side arm themselves. The rich get richer, the machine of death keeps rolling.
The NRA is an embezzlement scam. They don't care about gun rights OR gun manufacturers
It might even increase them.
I hope innocent people start arming themselves. It's fucking time for the 2A to kick in
I live in MPLS and I just passed my qualification for a permit to carry yesterday. Never thought I'd be the type of person to learn about and practice firearms but now that the future is so uncertain and tumultuous I figure it's better to be educated and practiced just-in-case.
Good! Education and practice are key! More people need to follow your example!
Lol, if that were true, they should be shouting from the rooftops because after this, people will be scrambling to get guns when an occupying private military starts executing civilians on the street.
The NRA started the anti-gun movement in California alongside Reagan. In response to the Black Panthers carrying while copwatching as they did similar shit to the Black neighborhoods in the 1960s.
The NRA will back it no problem. They have before.
The NRA protects cops more than they protect guns.
Idk about the NRA, but this is the GOAs response.
While I disagree with their statement about immigration, I gotta at least give them credit for not being totally two-faced.
That statement some real "both sides" energy bullshit. The only ones obliged to behave like professionals here are the ones representing the US government on official duty. The rest are obliged to do exactly what they are doing. Keep watching, keep filming, keep supporting each other, and keep showing the world all of it.
It would have been great if not for that "The Left is clearly the antagonist here!1111!111" part
