An entire classroom was massacred with an AR-15 just 280 miles from this stage, and the Texas GOP is

3. I don't know if I should give some benefit of the doubt because I imagine this group is made up of

99% super political RWNJs.

7. No, it's nationwide and it's the GOP.

This would be the response at pretty much any GOP state convention, anywhere in the country.

It's also just the GOP. Texas is about 45% Democrats.

10. True that!

2. Putin is smiling.

5. Also the libertarians, the rw media empires, the 0.01%

As far as they think, the USofA is just a big resource to be exploited. First get rid of the humans.

8. Putin's decades of work to bring down the US has been successful.

It really is remarkable.

9. I posted an image of Putin laughing on Facebook on Jan 6. Just that.

As so many horrible details were pouring in, I was thinking about the bigger picture, and how great that day was for America's enemies from a propaganda standpoint. They will use those images for decades.

6. What we really need is a big compromise with gun owners

A compromise to repeal and replace the 2nd amendment that both protects lawful gun owners and their right to self defense and their right to hunt, while also modernizing what is and is not lawful, and who can own weapons, and when they can own them.

We could sell this to gun owners by removing some of the unpopular regulations (such as the cumbersome process to obtain a sound suppressor or a short barreled rifle even when it is functionally identical to a pistol with a brace) and by cleaning up the ambiguous language of the 2nd amendment. While it’s true that this SCOTUS recognizes an individual right to keep and bear arms, the 2nd amendment is ambiguous enough that a future SCOTUS might not recognize that right.

By cleaning up and modernizing the language we could both protect lawful gun owners from future SCOTUS changes, and protect innocent Americans by denying easy access to firearms for criminals.
