Typically, they will describe an ad like his, and ask what he feels about it influencing lone wolves. Then, typically, the MAGAt politician will say, "But Second Amendment protects my rights to own a gun".

At that point a sharp interviewer would jump in and say "Nobody mentioned taking away your right to own a gun. That is a red herring you tossed in." And then REPEAT the question.

They always seem to run to 2A so quickly and most often are the first to mention it. It is a DISTRACTION.

He tries the "yeah, but whataboutyourside" to shift the topic instead of answering her question. They sure know how to arouse their base while sliding away from responsible governing and honorable behavior.

Sarah Palin put out a map with cross-hairs, one of them targeting the district represented by Gabby Giffords. She never apologized after the congresswoman was shot in the head.

... violence is a badge of honor and courage for the Fascist males among us. They think it reinforces their mirage of machismo they so desperately yearn to create.

Guns,.. weapons,.. camo clothing,.. Christo-Fascist nationalism,.. and violence are the goulash of AmeriKKKan toxic masculinity currently running rampant.
