You’ve got to let the police do their jobs, number one. Number two, you have to do a policy of stop and frisk. When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live. They know every one of them, the local police, and they’re great.

You got to let them do their job, stop and frisk, and take their gun away. You’ve got to do it. If somebody has because they have all these guns — you know, it’s very interesting, the toughest gun law, the toughest, by far, in the whole United States is in Chicago, and yet it’s the most — it’s —

Let all your Republican 2Aer friends and family know.

      Oh yeah it’s going to make him real popular with the second amendment people. LoL

      I think it’ll be hilarious if Kamala Harris released a statement saying that unlike Trump she will never take your guns away. 🤣

          They absolutely did care. He had to walk it back. It created a lot of consternation from the alt-right and hardcore libertarian types.

            They acted like they cared for 3 fucking seconds.

            Please, my memory isn’t that bad. I was there, “walk it back” is not how I would describe it.

        98% of them are completely unaware of this or know he’s only go after the other people and never theirs

        I think it’ll be hilarious if Kamala Harris released a statement saying that unlike Trump she will never take your guns away.

        While that would be a nice sting to the other side, that would alienate part of her base who are all for gun laws.

          You can be pro gun law and still say “We aren’t going to take your guns.” Gun laws don’t prevent gun ownership and don’t enable confiscation of guns from lawful owners. They simply ensure that mentally unstable people or those with criminal backgrounds cannot buy one legally.

        They have turned their brains off, if they were ever on in the first place. Back when I was on reddit I was arguing with so-called “libertarians” who claimed Donald would protect their gun rights. Of course I was banned because they are actually Repubs cosplaying as libertarians. Banning me was a violation of the NAP, BTW.

    Well trump, it was nice knowing ya (it wasn’t) bit you’ll never never ever ever ever be president again. Tell the average Americans that you’ll take their guns away? You nuts? Tell right wing evangelical Christian redneck gun lover that you’ll take their guns away? Are you suicidal?

    Anyway, fuck Trump , happy to see him go

      That statement is like a supercomputer ran LLMs and voter simulations for two weeks in order to find the one sentence most perfectly crafted to drive away the most American voters.

      Edit to add: In reality yeah the gun taking and frisking are just a dog whistle for putting minorities back in their place, but I still thought the contrast was funny.

    Pretty sure this was on the topic of gun control, he said “take their guns away and go through due process later” but his 2Aer followers don’t remember that.

    He’s so close! Somehow his racism took him down a weird convoluted path and ended up with gun control.

    When you see a guy coming down the street and you can — the police know every one of them. They know their middle name. They know where they live.

    Like when we see a convicted felon coming down the street and we know his middle name is “John” and he lives in Palm Beach?

    The so-called “2A” brainlets support this. Since it is happening to people they hate, it is okay to infringe.

    What he means is to take them away from people that arent in the cult - that don’t agree with, or look like, him and his followers. But eventually the leopard will eat your face too.

    It won’t matter to Republicans, they’ll even agree with it, because to them, they know he’s talking about bad people, and by “bad people”, he’s of course referring to low-life black and latino thugs, people who really shouldn’t be having guns (in their minds). They just don’t want their own guns taken away, they don’t care if other people have their guns taken away.
