Remember that Republicans. You’ve elected people who don’t think you have the right to own or use a gun.

Republican voters don't give a shit. They don't have principles, just grievances.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition …There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Question: do immigrant non-citizens have a 2nd Amendment right? I think they do. But if they assert it, it would be suicide by ICE

I have a friend that came from Japan when he was like 14. He's 55 now. Never became a citizen. He's had a gun license and many weapons for ages. The 2and amendment does apply to him, yes.

The constitution supercedes every other law of the land so, unless the constitution says the 2nd amendment only applies to citizens, any law excluding them would be unenforceable.

Some limitations like the need for a firearms owner ID card have been ruled constitutional, but those laws can't randomly exclude groups of people.

Does anyone else see a wildly punchable face?

I mean, look at how he dresses. I think it's clear he is asking for it.

Punching is the least that face deserves.

But... You want to punch it?

As Charlton Heston famously said, ‘From my cold, dead hands’.

That nazi's head would make a great home run target for The Bear's bat
