Republicans haven't been this upset since CVS moved the good cold medicine behind the counter ✌️🥴

Anybody with a bad heart could bring so much destruction, knives are for cooking, but for some it's for killing.. we can't stop making kitchen knives because bad people decide to hurt someone.

[theman]

As a black man I totally support gun rights.

[geak]

Murders fear gun laws? Really?

Think how stupid their argument sounds.

[SuAmigoElilegal]

This has nothing to do whatsoever with any crimes in the United States so please please please stop ✋

The great equalizer for women and minorities.

[planetxwatcher]

Arm the kids so they can protect themselves.

[briangarrow]

And I ask the question why cannot you open carry at the NRA convention?

[commanderbell]

I support gun rights and Trump.
Long Live The 2nd Amendmen and Texas

[susanlindsay]

How about you have to have completed gun class/training to receive a gun. Be tested, like a drivers license.

[patd.]

This is the great USA mindset from the beginning of this country. Nothing new here.

[TheWarriorScout]

I'm no fan of th current NRA, but to try and connect this horrific act to them is insane.

[planetxwatcher]

That new speaker is so out of tuch. 🤦‍♀️

The largest mass shooting in US history happened December 29, 1890.
When 297 Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota were murdered by FEDERAL AGENTS and members of the 7th Calvary who had come to confiscate their firearms “for their own safety and protection”
The slaughter began after a majority of the Sioux had peacefully turned in fire arms. The Calvary and Federal Agents began shooting and managed to wipe out an entire camp. 200 of the 297 victims were women and young children.
Wounded Knee was one of the very first federally backed gun confiscation attempts in the United States history.
It ended in the senseless murder of 297 innocent and helpless people.

In 1933, the ultimate extremist group led by Adolf Hitler disarmed Jews and political opponents.
I don’t have to tell you what followed years later….

Throughout history, when they have removed guns from the citizens they then slaughtered them or ruled over them with harsh restrictions and laws.

A fine example of this would be countries that have banned guns such as Australia, France, Spain, Italy, China and so forth. These countries had draconian restrictions during lockdown and police literally abused and bashed citizens to comply. This included women, elderly and children… They dragged people from their homes and forced quarantine and forced people to PCR test and take the shots.
China at this very moment is in another lockdown 100 times worse than before. With the government welding them into their homes with barricades around so no one can leave and starving them.

Our Constitution 2nd Amendment gives us the right to bare arms for a reason. To protect ourselves but also to stop a tyrannical government over reaching their power. Without our guns, the government could easily take over and force us into compliance with whatever they wish. And believe me, they would do it.
These rights shall NOT be infringed upon.

Can't wait for 'only-I-can-fix-it' trump to weigh in at the NRA convention.

[LuisHernandez-tyor]

Y’all should be more positive and teach gun control

[victor]

COOL GUNS!
They should go to every state and city.

[grantray]

NRA 100%. Support the second amendment. Trump 2024. America First. Hold China, Russia, Mexico accountable

[frankiem]
