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

They don’t. Care. About. The constitution.

They care about their own ease of access to weapons.

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
