I got Thai food the other day and another customer came in wearing a gun in a hip holster. I didn’t love it but it went fine. This is America. Also I posted this just now and a link for holsters got added to my comment?! WTF was that about? But anyway I deleted it and am reposting now. 🤞🏻 no link

Because of open carry laws, in NC, I've had to endure beer bellied butt crack boys in the grocery store with guns strapped criss crossed on them like they were headed for combat. R's never gave a shit - they were all about 2A rights! Now R's fear the public and call gunowners domestic terrorists.

i'm so glad somebody said something about that guy in the gray jacket !!! he creeps into the whole scene manhandles everybody and then spooks off with a gun like a thief in the night What the fuck is up with that guy...?????

Those people are the ones terrified the Democrats are going to take their guns. It is disgusting and I hope the families sues for defamation this poor man was executed. And they're going to keep doing it until Congress grows a spine and says enough

The 2nd Amendment is a flat out FAILURE. It has our streets to be flooded with guns and our schools to be shot up like an arcade game. Yet you will be murdered by the TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT that has TURNED AGAINST its citizens.

If Charlie were still here, he’d be singing the cult’s tune louder than any of them. Kirk was a grifter just like the rest of them and he did it marginally better because he tricked them. He had a family to support and he had the administration’s inside knowledge.

And it’s asked by people who applauded all the Meal Time Six “militia” folks who needed guns slung over their shoulders and strapped to their thighs to go to Starbucks.

Kyle Rittenhouse’s defense for carrying an AR-15-style rifle was that it was necessary for his own protection while he was in a dangerous, chaotic situation. His defense team argued that the firearm was not intended for offensive use, but rather to deter potential threats.

I am sorry, but if you need this much protection to go to a Subway, then you need some freaking help. What are you scared of, the Subway worker will start beating you with a sub roll or some lunch meat. Guess you need to bring a gun to a sub roll fight.

there are only a handful of places where you cannot bring a legal gun and, on the street, in front of a protest, protecting an individual is not on that list.

No, only Republicans have that right. Democrats only have the right to stay home without any rights and keep their yaps shut. Otherwise, they'll be executed in the streets. Guns for me and not for thee. Rights for me and not for thee. #hypocrisy

And all things considering Is Kristi Noem carrying a concealed weapon? She’s the one in her State of SD that signed a bill to allow other states carry permit to be honored in SD plus a free cup of Joe at any cafe to allow hip holster guns

It was okay what Rittenhouse did though? This is bullshit! Abolish ICE and do something about the criminals in the White House! Charge ICE with MURDER!

But, from a practical standpoint, if a private citizen pulls out a pistol during an ICE protest, the probability that he/she will be immediately peppered with lead approaches 100%. To be clear, Pretti did nothing wrong here, the fault is entirely ICE's.

If I had a gun permit to carry in Minnesota with these hoodlum brown shirt wannabes I would probably carry it. Isn't that want the GOP always cry about? Its our right? Hypocrites. Total BS all the time.

Alex Pretti wasn't attending a protest. He was in neighborhood probably getting morning donuts when ICE descended on it breaking windows of cars further down street. He stayed away from ICE activity, started recording and helping drivers not under ICE attack navigate out of area. THEY APPROACHED HIM

Agreed. If you have ever been to any state where gun carrying is the norm, people take them grocery shopping, everywhere. Everywhere they possibly can. Unless the specific venue or event bars them legally. This argument coming from the DHS is nonsense.

I did not read too much news from USA lately.. Can you drop a bit of context please? The first thing that come to mind is a news story of putin bodyguard who brought a gun into negotiations room what made some news for sure as it is not very common practice for modern negotiations.

“Why would you bring a gun to…” from the 2nd amendment crowd is just so ironic. Kyle Rittenhouse ok, Good and Pretti, no? This lawless regime needs to end.

I’m guessing he thought that if things went south he would try to help defend people against the gestapo. Never got the chance.

Who would have thought that the Alpha Male MAGAt's advice would be, "Show them your obedience! Make a path that you may not hinder their glorious mission from Dear Leader. Do not look at them directly in their eyes! Cast your eyes downward when they pass, lest you incur their wrath! Comply or die!"

NRA is still pretending this isn't a violation of 2A in the worst possible way bc they prefer right-wing creep Rittenhouse (who took people's lives) to left-wing Pretti (who saved people's lives). They're reeling from the reality that liberals own guns too and 2A is for ALL Americans!

And again, he lived in the area, & just happened upon the activity (even though it's irrelevant). DHS doesn't tell people about their activity (not a protest) in advance; Pretti wouldn't have known. That is unlike Kyle Rittenhouse of course, who traveled to an actual protest.

Magats didn't have a problem with Kyle Rittenhouse carrying a loaded AR15 strapped to his chest to a protest and murdering people. As a matter of fact, magats defended Kyle Rittenhouse.

I would have used water cannon It was a surprising 50 degrees out on Jan6 A good chill would have had a lasting effect & 1K campfires to add more glares reenactment civil discourse appeal. But the new deterrent are oily rags, pepper spray, lead, lead pipe blows Ole JC was whipped then crucified

Trump has always used young children as tools in his tool box, as a means to his desires. He did this during the Epstein years in sexual ways, he separated families during his first term as a warning to immigrants to stay away, and now he’s using toddlers as bait to get their parents to cooperate.

Can I ask you a serious question? You’ve believed in Republican values presumably most of your life. Obviously what Trump espouses are not those stated values. Do you look at those stated values now and still agree with them? Do you think they were always cover for something much darker?

Specifically I guess I’m asking how much of the rhetoric around the second amendment now looks like it’s based in differential policing (ie. It’s there to protect white people from black people but not the other way around) and how much other stated values (like free speech) of the right…

Probably a poor forum to try to seriously engage with those kind of questions. Plus, I have friends myself that share at least some "conservative" values, and - while I would argue they are overlooking some of the issues with them - they're not morally obtuse people (else I wouldn't be friends...)

Sure, but I don’t think anyone is disputing that right wing people with Republican values can be decent people. I’m asking whether or not institutionally, electorally, in terms of the media etc. they’re actually just covers for far bleaker and darker impulses.

I mean I guess you *could* argue that the left is all secretly draconian communists - that’s what Trump tries to peddle - but I don’t think you’d find many Democratic politicians who were secret communists, nor were they generally dog whistling to secret communists in their number.

The answer is because as an American citizen and non felon - he can. Tell me again why ice are there in the first place. The lie of immigration is gone. They are there to cause terror. That makes them terrorists.

Each shooting committee by one of theirs they run towards the 2nd amendment but if one of their goons is the shooter then - it's, the person should not have had a gun there ! But this below was ok ?

Get every one of these MAGA Nazi hypocrites on record stating that the 2nd Amendment is definitely not absolute, and that it definitely does not give Americans the right to possess/own any firearm they want or carry it anywhere they want.

If you believe it's a good amendment, then what other situation would it be for but this one? They didn't write it so dudes could take their safety-AK to McDonald's. Or to split-second stop a crime (recall how slow a flintlock is to load).

And the MAGAts who glorified Incel Kyle (the murderer) Rittenhouse were very vocal about the 2A rights of a punk who grabbed a long gun, traveled over an hour to shoot unarmed protestors, and became their little fucking darling. Who would later go on to be just another dirtbag MAGAt murderer!

Last time I checked,Minnesota is an open-carry state if you are permitted. Isn’t this exactly what the 2nd amendment people have been whining about forever? Where are they now? Why aren’t they out there now, screaming for this man’s right to carry a gun. Either you can carry, or you can’t.

It's weird that the same people who fight for people to be able to bring guns to high school football games are now telling us that you can't bring a gun to a protest.

I thought the anti-government groups (I.e., Proud Boys,etc) supported the need for our 2nd amendment SO THAT the government wouldn't be able to do what we're seeing now. A well-regulated militia of citizens would rise up to prevent it. Now they seem to be joining & supporting murder by our gov't.

They als brought weapons, incl guns and assault rifles to The Capitol. Remember how the 🤡 was pissed that metal detectors prevented them from getting in? And he yelled “Get rid of the mags! Let them in. They’re not here to hurt me!” “Mags” = Magnetometer = Metal Detectors.
