They just know that the gun isn't pointing at them when the propaganda arm is telling them to hate democrats.

Just like Jan 6, most of the republicans aren't really scared for their own lives because they know they aren't the ones being hurt down. They were going to kill Pelosi, democrats and Pence, but not MTG.

is gun violence.

Don't get your way, pull out a gun.

Don't like what someone said, pull out a gun.

As more and more states loosen guns laws, you have to ask yourself - WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY THINKING ????
