MAGA went from “teachers should be required to carry guns” to “carrying a gun makes you a criminal” in record time

If you only invoke the Second Amendment after children are murdered in their schools, but defend the government when it claims someone deserved to be executed for being legally armed, then you do not believe in the Second Amendment

Men brought guns inside the Michigan statehouse to protest pandemic lockdowns (but really to frighten and intimidate lawmakers) and no one shot them. They weren’t even arrested.

Children die in school shootings and it’s “not the guns”.
Mass shootings claim lives multiple times a year and it’s “not the guns”.
Kyle Rittenhouse shot 3 people during a protest and it’s “not the guns”
ICE kills Alex Pretti, and suddenly it’s his fault because he “had a gun”

One of the best videos I've seen today about the COLD-BLOODED MURDER of Alex Pretti and the hypocrisy of MAGA fascists regarding the 2nd Amendment. 😳👇

BREAKING: In a powerful moment, Charles Barkley just delivered a strong rebuke of what Donald Trump is doing to our country. Everyone needs to see this.

I helped to establish DHS in 2002 and 2003 and later had the homeland security portfolio as a White House Counsel and served as General Counsel of the Department.
I am enraged and embarrassed by DHS’s lawlessness, fascism, and cruelty.
Impeach and remove Trump—now.
The deadly shooting in Minneapolis today was a straight-up execution of a protester by Trump's federal brownshirts.
The thugs wrestled him to the ground. They pistol-whipped him, then shot him multiple times. They murdered him.
The videos don't lie. A man is dead, killed in cold blood. There is no conceivable justification for this intentional homicide. And make no mistake, that intentional, unjustified homicide was committed on behalf of Donald J. Trump.
Trump's militarization of Minneapolis and other parts of our nation isn't about illegal immigration. It's not about enhancing public safety. It's about destroying any sense of that safety—to intimidate political opponents, and to punish dissent. It's about a corrupt, out-of-control regime's effort to provoke citizens in order to justify the violence it desires to commit against them so that it can expand and retain its power.
That is fascism. It is tyranny. It is governmental criminality.
And the ultimate legal check the Framers of our Constitution provided to stop this kind of tyranny and criminality in the executive branch is impeachment and removal of the executive.
Congress needs to do its job.
Now.
Before it's too late.

Hey MAGA
Your president Donald Trump believes if you have a gun you’re a criminal.
Wonder what the @nra thinks about this 🤔
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The screenshot of a Trump post is fabricated; no such statement appears on his Truth Social account. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…

Reminder that Kyle Rittenhouse showed up to a protest like this and Republicans called him a hero

Oh my god. Alex Pretti’s parents found out he was dead when an AP reporter called them. No one picked up the phone to inform them that their son had been killed, and as of Saturday night, they still hadn’t heard anything from federal officials.

Michael Che: "I get that I.C.E. Agents are people, allegedly. And they have a job to do. But at some point, while you're pepper spraying old ladies or shooting at a nurse, do you ever stop and ask yourself, are we dicks?"

Interesting the “everyone should be armed” folks seem to rush to use the (possible) fact he owned a gun as justification for him to be shot... 🤔 #AbolishICE

I don’t want my Insta to turn into a political page but I’m literally outraged with what’s going on rn and SO many of you CLEARLY don’t know the laws on protesting, and basic CONSTITUTIONAL rights. There’s so much illegal stuff happening rn regardless of which party you support😭

In light of today’s shooting, my heart is with the family of Alex Pretti and community mourning. City police officers are required to wear body cameras. So where is the body cam footage? Transparency matters, especially when a life is lost. #JusticeForAlexPretti

Just saw the video from an angle that makes things very clear: ICE killed a peaceful protestor. He was not trying to harm them. He had been restrained. There is no debating this one. ABOLISH ICE. If you voted for Trump, it is okay to admit you were wrong. This must stop.

Obama: It is not as if we didn't see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape.
And by the way, he warned you too, because he said what he would do. But the fact is there were plenty of people who voted for Trump and Republicans anyway. And it wasn't because they wanted to give up the right to free speech or see public health systems torn down, but because they were understandably frustrated with inflation and gas prices and the difficulty of affording a home and worries about their children's future.
Now, nine months later, you have got to ask yourself, has any of that gotten better?
It sure has gotten better for Trump and his family.

Since I’m back to being irrelevant, I need help being a reality star in 2025! I have no enemies. I’d have to pay someone to watch a Cameo from me. Don’t have TikTok or Insta to beg fans for $. Too old & too married for thirst traps. MySpace login doesn’t work. Now what? #BB27
