Groups typically aligned with Trump call for investigation as NRA wades into the national dialogue

The party that has spent unlimited resources and energy getting states to pass laws to allow citizens to openly carry loaded weapons anywhere - now believes that exercising this right is permission for law enforcement to murder you. Honestly, how dumb do they think we are?

Trump/MAGA/GOP, by and large, have no fixed values. As has been pointed at more than once, they say and do whatever is needed to grab or keep power.

This is pure Nazis.

I am surprised that the NRA came out for an investigation here. After all, half of MAGA obliterated their own concern about pedophiles as soon as Trump was implicated.

I am not a gun owner, and generally am opposed to gun ownership, but...

The fuss about the victim being armed while on the streets appears to me to be the first step in the confiscation of firearms in private hands. Open carry, unlicensed carry and ownership, and ownership of military-style and high capacity ammunition clips has been argued for by the Right and the NRA for years. And in a twinkling, the Trump Administration is laying down arguments against such situations. Federalist #46 put forth the argument of gun ownership as a check against tyranny (an interesting read, and I recommend it to all). Madison's argument is brought to the fore by those now calling for NO open carry, and NO high capacity ammo clips.

Gun owners: watch the video of those ICE raids. That could happen at your house, and sooner than you think. Your possession of a firearm makes you a threat to a tyrant...
