Deranged MAGA nuts: Challenge accepted!
When I think about it
Instead of a debate let's go to a range and do a little target shooting.
Watching Trump fumble around, hit nothing, getting smoked by a woman.
Sounds like a lot of fucking fun to watch.
Oh wait we already saw that lolololol.
As a convicted felon, Trump can't have a gun. ;)
oh shit, what's he gonna do for his vote casting photoshoot in Florida
He can't even have bullets on his person
So for that like .1ms where he was being "hit" by that bullet were technically him breaking the law
And yet they're still trying to give it to him
Oh sheesh I totally forgot. Hilarious.
...Then pit both of them against someone that goes to a monthly IDPA or USPSA match.
(My point is, if you want to be able to use a gun when you're under a lot of pressure to perform well, you gotta practice under pressure too.)
Well, better than the time someone broke into the home of the Canadian Prime Minister (Jean Chretien at the time) and his wife held off the intruder with a soapstone carving...
And then you get shot when it turns out to be the police raiding your home unannounced because they got the address wrong again.
I mean it's true, if you bust into the VP's house I'd expect nothing less
Me, while im bleeding out on the ground: " I really just wanted to see the P90 in action. Its so cool. Worth it."
Some Republican is suddenly going to be against self defense. Just you watch.
“She needs to tone down her violent rhetoric.”
She was a DA. She’s probably carried since then.
Carrying and knowing how to use it are 2 different things. Without constant practice and being able to perform under pressure it's just an idiot with a gun.
One weird trick to get gun control laws Republicans don't want you to know!
We'll technically, if she's president, that would be VERY true.
I mean, anyone who hasn't realized that she has 24/7 secret service protection and they're going to fucking shoot anyone whose an intruder to any of their protectees homes...
are kinda dumb.
kinda dumb.
You really think the cult isn't that dumb? Any bets that one of them will try it? Of course MAGA would claim it was her fault in any circumstance.
I mean, this is a pretty logical and understandable consequence of the right's call for political violence. I was pretty surprised the Pelosi intruder was able to do so much, tbh.
Edit: But, yes, people are dumb and disingenuous and will say that they should be able to kill an intruder on their property without question and then turn around and say that Harris' detail should not be allowed to do so.
Pelosi's attacker got as far as he did because Pelosi's protection was with her, and she wasn't home, which let Paul take the brunt of the attack.
One would think they would leave at least one agent with him.
You'd think, right? Well NOW he does, I bet...

Reminds me of that West Wing episode where he "accidentally" makes an offensive gun analogy comment; Harris doesn't really alienate any supporters here, and she appeals to the undecided gun crowd voters. As a bonus, she's "telling it like it is" for folks who are self-described as being "fed up with PC culture."
Your bonus point is depressingly significant. The number of people I've heard say something like, "I don't like x, y, z about Trump, but I like that he speaks his mind and tells it like it is in his opinion" drives me crazy. When did it become admirable to be an unfiltered boor?
The unfiltered boors of the world like to feel valid and important.

I like this for some reason. Maybe even more if she slipped and said "fuckin' shot" maybe because it's Oprah.
Weird that the whole "I probably shouldn't say that" is a very Trump like thing to say, but those types of comments have a lot of power with people so more power to her.
It was an authentic moment and people love that. I watched it live and was like dayum.
I've done a shit ton of research and writing on the topic of firearm regulation. I grew up with them as well. I am absolutely for very strict firearm regulation... However: I think it's time democrats pivot on this to root causes: education, Healthcare, and societal stressors. The electorate just isn't there yet, and it will probably take another 2 decades at least before the boomers die off and any movement can be made.
I'm not even sure if the electorate is in a place to address issues in education and healthcare, haha. But unfortunately I agree; I think Dems are right because it's clear other nations don't have this problem (even with their same unhappy societies) but making only incremental gains with gun control shows that it can't be done right now.
But I wouldn't necessarily go with root causes as first priority. If they could fix election issues like gerrymandering and the electrical college, urban centers would have a fair say and might push harder on gun regulation when voices are heard on equal level. If I had a majority, that's what I'd hit first to make the rest easier.
Wholly agree! Campaign Finance / Election Reform is my #1 issue and I've been advocating for this to be the single issue vote we all get behind. It truly is the root of nearly every other issue and complaint we have.
Unfortunately that doesn’t serve the democrats as a whole, so it isn’t prioritized by the party favorites.
(Note: I am NOT both-sidesing here. I always have and will again vote D this election because they are the most sane option that actually has some human interests at heart. I just accept that they are not all altruistic and are also motivated to keep status quo in some ways that don’t align to my personal preferences for my elected officials. They are still the right choice.)
