These rights are what the nation has been founded on. Bovino is a traitor, and the 2nd Amendment should be used accordingly.
Vote for trump everyone they said. He wont take your guns they said. I wonder do any of these 2A assholes understand how they have been played.
They don't care. The 2A assholes are being outed largely as nothing more than racists and homophobes looking for a reason to kill people they don't like.
I know. The problem for them is that among all those that don't care are more than enough that do care. The very thing they preached the democrats were going to do is going to be difficult for them to do. They are just one pissed off sub Forest Gump from getting shot it by their own base. Trump doesn't know it but his handlers do.
I mean, they have a history of flipping their stance around 2A. Pro-2A flipped as soon as the Black Panthers armed themselves and did public displays of open carry within their rights.
Regan was very quick to sign gun control laws as soon as that happened.
Disarming then shooting a man who's weapon was holstered would lead me to believe that the "officers" are not the victim.
They are agents, not officers.
They are a bunch of hyenas, not agents.
This is insulting to actual hyenas.
That too. I was just pointing out that they didn't go through any sort of OCS.
Although, I think that Jim Cummings hyena (Ed) in the Lion King, is smarter than these agents.
Champions of the 2nd amendment are now content with the idea that if you actually exercise it then you can be freely executed by "law enforcement", or whatever ICE pretends to be. Cool.
We need more community defense classes now more than ever. Seriously!
Real life Colonel Lockjaw.
Hopefully he has the same ending as lockjaw.
"Bovino" means little cow. Emphasis on "little".
I called him Bovine the flatulate the other day. No one commented but I still think he needs a name to represent him properly.
He is betting "all in" that the Nazi party will remain in power. If they are deposed, he faces life in prison or potentially the death penalty.
No, he doesn't. The democrats will never do anything about this.
Yes, they will, because their constituents aren't going to sit by and let them squander a second opportunity.
Imagine if we let Hitler off the hook, and he went on to regain power. We did that once already. MAGA is a proven National Security Threat, and their members are Domestic Terrorists. If America is to survive, AND redeem itself on the eyes of its citizens, the world, and history, then MAGA needs to crushed and purged from our government and society.
We cannot allow MAGA to have ANOTHER chance to rise. IF we get another shot, we cannot fail this time, we must act decisively. And if our elected representatives won't do it, then we have to force them to do it.
But it probably won't be that hard. Any new Democrats are going to be elected on their enthusiasm to go after MAGA. That will give the current militant Dems more support, and inspire courage in some of the weaker members who are still around.
There were lots of people who said the Dems wouldn't prosecute the Jan 6 Traitors, and more than 1000 of them ended up sentenced, and MANY went to jail.
Next time, we have to concentrate on the leaders, and then go after the foot soldiers.
The democrats would sooner relinquish power to literal nazis than change a word of their establishment agenda.
USA is not gaining back any respect until you reform your political system. No one is going to come back to the table just because "Dems won" for another 4-8 year cycle before craziness returns. Democrats are the same shoe on a different foot.
Yeah that's obvious. If we don't tamp down the MIC and the PIC this shit will just keep coming. We need to disband the GEO group, cut military funding in half at least, and start to dismantle the DHS that was created under false premises under Bush. It's fucking embarrassing. All the signs have been pointing to this since I was in high school (decades ago) and everyone has been content to just sleepwalk towards it.

That's the point though isn't it? They went after all the small fry they let the big fish go and now he's back in office causing even more chaos than he ever could have in his first term. In fact, I don't think he could have done half as much damage as he has if he had gotten a second term immediately after his first. Instead he and his cohorts had four years to plan what to do once they took the White House back.
The Democrats had grown a backbone and prosecuted that fucker in the four years they had we wouldn't be in this goddamn mess.
Oh, yeah, don't even get me started. Biden came out of the gate with a Covid Vax program and an Economic Stimulus Plan that were wildly successful, and would have put him on the Top 15 among presidents.
But then he appointed the most feckless Republican in existence to be his AG and go after the biggest National Security Threat since the Civil War, and he dithered and slow-walked it for 2 years, allowing Trump to run out the clock. For that unbelievable failure, Biden will be relegated to the Bottom 15 among presidents.
We simply cannot allow that to happen a second time. If the Dems won't act, the people will, and then weakling Dems will go down right along with them.
It wasn't just Biden. The entire democratic party was complicit in allowing what is happening now.
I agree, but Biden should have shown true leadership, and aggressive action against Trump and his henchmen.
When Biden took the oath of office, we ALL had watched the outrageous Insurrection only a few weeks before. The moment he stepped off the podium after taking the oath, Biden would have been well within his Constitutional and Presidential right to order the detainment of Trump and everyone involved in the Insurrection - his chief of staff, his children (who were all on scene), all those who spoke on the stage that day, etc.
That would have shown strength and leadership, and is EXACTLY what a Republican would have done. By not doing it, MAGA took it as cowardice and weakness (which it absolutely was), and amped up their abuse.
The Biden set the tone for his term, and it was weak, cowardly, indecisive, and insipid, and he will be deservedly reviled by history for it.
Yes, they will, because their constituents aren’t going to sit by and let them squander a second opportunity.
flips through the Biden era of history of accountability
I'm not so sure about that, that man do I dig your enthusiasm
The Citizens didn't sit still during the Biden era, we were screaming for punishment for them, but the Dem leadership was too cowardly to do anything about it, because as usual, they bought the MAGA line that they were being punished for their POLITICS.
That won't happen a second time. They will act, or we will. Trump and his henchmen WILL face punishment for the CRIMES, not their politics, and our elected representatives will obey their oaths, and do their jobs, or they will face punishment themselves for their negligence and malpractice.
They will know that we aren't playing around.

Bovine doesn't wear as much protection as others. Just saying. Wouldn't be too hard.
He's the bait. The people who really need kinetic therapy are aware they deserve it and are hiding. Just look up project 2025 authors and a list of billionaires and you're most of the way there.

“You cannot bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple. You don’t have that right to break the law and incite violence,” Kash Patel said. Like Kyle Rittenhouse? Or all the other cosplaying Meal Team Six smooth brains that like to counterprotest? Cool, cool, cool
You can~~not~~ bring a firearm, loaded, with multiple magazines to any sort of protest that you want. It’s that simple."
--2nd Amendment, Constitution, United States of America
In case anyone forgot, Rittenhouse went to a protest with a loaded rifle looking for a fight, shot ~~two~~ three people, walked away untouched, was acquitted, and got speaking gigs on conservative TV shows. You can do whatever you want as long as you're on the "right" side.
Its not judicial justice but he has a hard time showing his face. Colleges rejected his applications and so have prospective jobs.
fun fact: teenage Rittenhouse had better discipline and control during the immediate timeframe of him shooting people than these 5+ year ICE/CBP goons have
regardless of what he set out to do, if you watch the videos of the event, it's actually less of a transgression than the shit going on now. and that's, uh, sad.

Has the NRA commented on this? For once, I am interested in their opinion.
as per the bbc article linked by the other dude who replied to you, the NRA and other pro-gun lobby groups have urged investigation into the circumstances of Pretti's death. I'm kind of interested in how much that divides Trump supporters who are mostly pro-ice and pro-gun. It probably won't tbh...
The FBI immediately monopolized the investigation. The result has already been decided, they're just pretending to look at evidence first.
