It's a misdemeanor, let him go! If he tries it again, let's all together figure out what to do. But for the love of gorsh, leave his second amendment intact!

Seems like he was just exercising his right to bear arms, is Trump against the Second Amendment now?
He banned bump stocks via executive order, which is more than any president since clinton did in favor of gun control. I love using this fact to break Republicans' heads. "As a firm believer in the second amendment, I can't vote for trump"
He said this while president:
“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence.
“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said.
Seems way overblown to me. What a nothing story.
For a country known to have more gun than people, you seems very bad at using them
guy wasn't even using it
It's Florida, dude was just bird hunting. /s
I'm seeing a lot of shitheads paint this guy as a leftist Democrat. No. Tell them, "if he's a left-wing Democrat, then so is Dick Cheney." Absurd.
This guy:
- Voted Republican in 2008
- Voted Republican in 2012
- Voted Trump in 2016
The primary reason, as he detailed in his own self-published book, for leaving Trump and beginning to support Democratic candidates was his disastrous anti-Ukrainian policy. Once that occurred [the broader veil of bullshit became unmasked — see this archived tweet — and he became pissed off that he was grifted. Yet in January of this year he was still pushing for Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy— bleeding heart liberals? — to unite and defeat Trump in the the GOP Primaries.
It doesn't change that he's still a conservative Republican.
