InstaGram censored my post this morning.

When I opened the e-version of the Detroit Free Press this morning, a Black Friday ad came up for handguns. I did a screen grab and posted it on IG. It was immediately removed. So much for free speech. Just wait until the Orange Turd takes over. We ain't seen nothing yet!
