The entire island of Palm Beach is paralyzed because of mango mussolini and he isn't even there. Glad I don't live there. Traffic is a nightmare. Imagine the cost!

(4,055 posts)Cartels can't wage war on officials and peaceful Mexican people without guns & ammo from the US. Guns and munitions that come from US go to cartels who create untold violence is part of what drives desperate refugees to cross the border. One root of 'the border crisis' is US citizens who are happy to load up a car with weapons and sell at profit to criminal armies south of the border.
The store where the Uvalde shooter got his gun was already under investigation by ATF, and maybe FBI, for the huge volume of very large sales of guns and ammunition. Many gun stores are active participants in making things worse in Mexico and along the US border. They are arming cartels and enabling continued warfare. They are partners in creating the problem the GOP pols then use to campaign.

We just need to keep bringing them in, charging them carefully and judiciously, and sending them away for however long their treasonous crimes call for.

It's this man's intentions the ATF will be asking about.

(24,017 posts)Are these the Trumpers that we need to watch out for in this election year if they are dissatisfied with the outcome? Or even if they are happy with the outcome and want to shoot up some liberals?

Any other excuse is pure BS, especially when they have already used them for political terrorism.

(24,511 posts)No crime to speak of and yet many Magats keep loaded guns in their house. Some have attached a strobe light to a rifle and keep it by their beds to blind the Immigrant intruders.
I asked one why he is so afraid that he has to keep loaded guns in his house, his reply to me was that he isn't afraid now that he has loaded guns.
The area of the brain of "conservatives" that deals with flight or flight is more pronounced, easier to trigger. Actual studies have been done that prove this.

Not that i doubt the ability of our current Administration to handle things... But it could be uglier than the first attempt.

(5,624 posts)after being arrested for committing an act of violence and giving BATFE probable cause to search his residence, I doubt he gets any of them back or gets out of jail any time soon.

(24,379 posts)he seems to have been letting off steam. Or practicing - getting up his nerve for a real attack. In either case, her should remain locked up. Does he have a license for "machine guns?"

(9,813 posts)The Harris administration goes all in on an anti terrorists task force to start weeding out the real terror threat facing us right here on our soil.
Our threat is much more immediate here, and sending massive military equipment and personnel to the Middle East like Bush and Cheney did under the fear tactic of Terror, is money that could be used to protect us here, in our own damn yard. Not calling for military forces hit the streets, just intel gathering and finding these individuals and Militia gangs.
We can start with finding those posting the onslaught of death threats out there every damn day.
I have seen big ass Bubba trucks here Flying American and trump Flags with Militia painted on The damn rear windows. Currently hunting FEMA and not out hunting dear and bear right now that the season is open.
When Trump loses and gives the GO order, many more like this ass will start killing trump opposition.
Remember the College rally with Charlie Kirk a while back and the Khaki wearin bros shouted, when does the shooting start with roars from the crowd.
And the idiots like Kelly cant wait.

(520 posts)To bear arms means to carry/use arms. Nobody can carry and use more than two at once. Everybody can own two. Not 10, 20, 200, etc. Any more than two is not Constitutionally guaranteed. Fixed it, with no amendment. Furthermore, "arms" is not defined in the Constitution. Define arms to be the most common "arms" in the mid-1700s. Fire, as in firearms, isn't mentioned.
