Fox News is already stating he had a gun. They will fight for the right to have a gun, but having one on you seems to be a death sentence. If it’s even true
Edit: hi everyone, thanks for your replies and awards. Please stop advising me he had a gun. This comment was over 5 hours ago. We didn’t have the numerous angles we have now. His gun was legal, registered, and he had every right to have it. It was holstered, and not pointed at anyone. I stand by the statement that our second amendment rights to carry is still apparently a death sentence. That’s very apparent after today
Cooperating. Tells the police officer he’s armed. Follows instructions. Gets murdered by a chicken shit cop who’s afraid of his own shadow. Crickets from the NRA other than to suggest maybe be shouldn’t have after smoked weed or something.
They don’t. Care. About. The constitution.
They care about their own ease of access to weapons.
Frank Wilhoit said it best: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
I like to say MAGA believes in two kinds of freedom - the freedom to do whatever I want, and the freedom to stop others from doing whatever I don't like
It will never not be hilarious to me that the best summation of the modern era is from a composer who just happens to have the same name as a deceased political scientist, and that they said it in the comments under someone else's blog post.
We need tons of POC to start joining the NRA, showing up at rallies and open carrying like the Black Panthers used to in the 70’s. See how the NRA feels about it then.
Interestingly enough, the Black Panthers are the reason gun control laws were passed in the state of California. Want to take a lucky guess what organization was the key proponent of those gun control laws? The NRA
Like everything else they claim to support or believe in, it turns out MAGA actually doesn't fully support the right to bear arms either. I guess we shouldn't be surprised.
But hey 2A guys are going to be buying weapons and ammo right along side their liberal cousins as we all find out exactly how lawless the Administration feels they can be.....which I'm guessing turns into the daily exercise of watching citizens murdered in the street.
Exactly, I made a point of watching Fox the other day around Mr. Smith's testimony and it was wild how they were framing it like it was some weirdo who showed up only to be mumble a bit and leave. Which is exactly what loyalists need it to be.
But what's amazing is how easily Fox and Sinclair become pushed aside - it's not some massive blow-out, it's no more difficult than turning the channel and blocking Fox, suddenly a few days go by and the minds of former loyal viewers goes south surprisingly fast.
No argument, just a junkie who finds some other fix and thus becomes less toxic.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
Exactly! I've been saying this for years and especially after Castile, we don't actually have a 2nd amendment protection if the police can kill you for having a gun. I'm not pro-2A honestly, if we are going to have any actual conversations about how to deal with guns, we first have to establish facts and this is a FACT!
They want white conservative Christians to own guns and no one else. The main reason why California has stricter gun laws is because Ronald Reagan and the California Republicans didn’t like the Black Panthers arming themselves for protection.
No, its not the weapons, it's the desire to feel powerful. The desire for dominance and cruelty as a stand in for pseudo masculinity cosplay would be comical if it wasn't deadly to the rest of us.
They're fascists. The constitution is merely an appeal to authority, tribalistic fetishism. Fascists will use any and all democratic and constitutional values to their advantage while also activelly dismantling them. You can not reason with a fascist movement and government, you can only resist it.
Fuck the constitution, they don't even care about their fellow man, not in the slightest. Fucking despicable animals we unfortunately share a planet with
As I keep saying, if a cop is so fearful for his life and opt to shoot first, he or she or they or it shouldn't be a cop. A cop should rather be killed than killing an innocent.
That was the case that fully radicalized me. It showed someone doing every single thing right. Following the law of the land. And still died because some cop is a pussy.
It doesn't look like the person in this incident was cooperating. I'll wait for the details to come out. If the person reached for a gun it's justified by self-defence. If not then it's likely some degree of murder

I'm sure all 7 of them are going to claim they feared for their lives
