Gun rights groups challenge shooting of legally armed man

After federal agents shot and killed a Minneapolis man allegedly carrying a concealed weapon, gun rights groups countered a federal narrative that his firearm likely justified deadly force.

Comments

Leave it to Trump to actually crack the impenetrable hold that the GOP has had with gun rights groups since the rightwing take over of the NRA in the 1970s.

'Tis absolutely amazing: Pedodent Trump has managed, in one year, to actually start alienating his own (and the GOP's) natural allies:

  1. The MAGA who were demanding that the international pedophile ring be exposed (where are the Epstein files?)

  2. The military (see: Kegsbreath "lecture" to senior military officers)

  3. State & local LEO (see: Wildman's post about how ICE is just dropping off people at local jails; after 48 hours, as per the law, said detainees have to be released from custody (no warrant, no charges) - of course, the ICE thugs still get their $5,000.00 bounty regardless of the outcome)

  4. And now, gun rights groups
Yep.
