You know a great way to terrify Republicans????

Have every Democrat buy a gun (or at least pretend to). I’ll bet a lot of gun control laws would all if a sudden become passed. I just thought of this when I heard of the Trump admin going after Colorados assault weapon ban. It might be wise to have one double-locked up in a safe if you don’t have a kid. I’m pretty terrified of guns and really would not want to do it myself so I don’t think I would be able to do it unless I took some lessons. If ICE agents start rounding up all Democrats or regular people who post anti-Trump things (which would NOT totally shock me) I would have to get over it.

1. When the Black Panthers advocated for guns, gun control laws were passed.

The NRA Supported Gun Control When the Black Panthers Had the Weapons
Back in the 1960s, even the NRA supported gun control to disarm the group.

Also when James Brady was shot, the "Brady Act" was enacted.

I do think that the administration has been actively provoking violence in order to declare a "convenient" state of emergency.

Avoid if you can.

2. Nixon and his goons started the stupid "war on drug" targeting black folks and hippies. Disgusting.

3. Yep - that was when Republicans were scared of guns.

4. I hate guns but inherited a number of them. I once screamed at an unknown noise outside that I had a gun and would use

it. Think it was just a tree branch falling on the house.

5. Give them mirrors, maybe?

Just a passing thought…….
