...MalAdministration.

It appears that Turnip himself posted this gem to Truthless Social:

"HE HAD A GUN, ONLY CRIMINALS CARRY GUNS ON OUR STREETS, WE NEED LAW AND ORDER."

I don't think this will actually go over well with MAGAs who've been pushing for years the idea that we all need to be able--no, make that: have a responsibility--to carry as many guns of whatever type wherever we want because of some nonsense about a good guy with a gun.

They are stupid, but they actually aren't THAT stupid.

Disarming someone with a carry permit and then killing them and then saying anyone exercising their "2A rights" is a criminal will definitely remind a lot of them how they always said they needed guns to protect themselves FROM the government.

Liberal or not, he was one of them: a legal gun owner with a permit carrying his weapon of choice. If those turn out to be the true facts, this will make a lot of them sit up and take notice--as horrible as they are....
