    NGL, most of the 2a MAGA folks I know, are already on-point WRT Trump trying to undermine gun rights.

    They are decidedly NOT happy about it.

      So much about “We need 2A in order to be able to fight a rogue government”. I bet a good part of the ammosexual 2A apologist crowd has joined the US GeStaPo or at least is contemplating it.

      Reminds me of Parks and Rec where Leslie is about to lose the election but then their opponent makes an anti 2A statement and gets destroyed by attack ads by the NRA and thus Leslie wins the election

    Trump makes enemies of everyone eventually. The only surprising thing is that the gun lobby thought Mr. “Take the guns first, go through due process second” was their ally in the first place.

      I mean its crazy that if anything Ice created perfect advertising for the gun lobby.

      They took Alex Pretti’s gun and immediately shot him once he was disarmed. This couldn’t make better advertising for people to go out and buy guns. It is a speedrun of everything 2nd amendment worshippers said they were against. And two other bystandnearby didnt have guns, weren’t shot.

      If you own a gun they coming for you as soon as you make the tinyest fuss. If you don’t own a gun they’ll shoot you next. Might as well own a gun.

    Those idiots are easily manipulated. They will be fed their talking points in the next few days and be back on side in a week tops.

    Wake me when “Conservatives” of any flavor throw their weight behind anyone without an ‘R’ next to them on the ballot or vote for them…

    It was doubtful the wannabe dictator was going to allow guns after he entrenched himself - seems inevitable. I tried to tell the dipshits I know who vote Repubtard because of guns, but they’re a smoothbrained lot.

    The gun lobby cares about who buys the most guns from them. Currently it’s the US government so they’re not gonna bitch about it.

    I don’t expect the gun lobby to ever full throatedly take a libertarian stance when the biggest purchaser within their space is the federal government and they represent gun manufacturers at the end of the day.

    A necessary step in their plan is to eliminate all private gun ownership. Trump is just moving along as his handler/masters want.
