    Well, yeah? I mean, this is magastan we’re talking about. A country where only people* can defend themselves from an attack and claim self defense.

    *Terms and conditions apply. The definition of “person” and therefore of “people” varies from state to state. Please check your local laws to confirm if you can claim you’re legally a person enjoying human rights. Examples of potentially excluded individuals from the definition of person depending on the state include:

    • Black/brown/whatever colour is not “american white”
    • Gay/lesbian/bisexual/asexual/whatever sexuality not considered heterosexual
    • Any kind of minority deemed “not acceptable” under maga’s principles, such as transexual, furry, autistic, or, in general anything that’s considered woke.

        It’s stories like this that make me waver a bit on 2A. I’d like it if we could keep it, but I don’t know anymore. What’s the point if only certain people can actually use it?

          the sad truth is it’s always been that way. the first targets for gun control? The black panthers, because they had the audacity to show up armed to prevent armed white people from murdering them. ol Ronald Reagan tried to stop that when he was governor of CA.
