Seems like support for gun control will dip a lot in inner cities where people have seen rioting and shops being destroyed.

Furthermore, black activists might be starting to get more interested in the 2nd amendment if they start to believe they are threatened by white terrorists or the state.

Will be interesting to watch. I think gun control is off the table for at least a couple of years.

Kinda hard to defund police and tell people they cannot defend themselves.

And they can stop with the defund doesn't mean what the word says. The very 1st defund rally was Minneapolis where they ran off the Mayor for saying he's not defunding the cops.

No, liberals will pivot right back to gun control and pretend their followers never went out and destroyed cities. The media will do their part to carry the water.

Kinda hard to think that the stolen weapon group would ever give their guns up because they are outlawed. Seems like their is an oxymoron in there at some point.

For the first time ever, two days ago, I saw someone open carrying in Florida.

A couple of problems with that.

One: it was a black guy dressed like he was headed to an army larp in the whitest and safest area of town

Two: open carry is illegal in Florida with few specific exceptions. Eating at a BBQ joint is not one of those exceptions.

If Biden gets in there, the first mass shooting will have it priority #1. Buy now.

No. The left may not be currently talking about it but don’t let that fool you.

Part 1. get rid of local police
Part 2. Disarm the people
Part 3. National socialist police force
Part 4. Gulags for those not committed to the new religion

No, I think these movements are very top heavy, they’re media controlled to a great degree. And the media can’t focus on more than one issue at a time. When they do, they lose their ability to influence events.

It’s just a matter of time before they move back to gun control.

Nope, in fact I'll bet it's next on the list of massive protests.

Not everyone needs their guns taken away, just those racist white cisgendered males.

I think the gun control is dead for at least this generation. There are 2 million new first time gun owners since January 2020.

All that's lost is John Roberts overturning an assault weapons ban. No trust in him.

Plenty of African Americans have been interested in gun ownership already, and I think their minds were blown in Baton Rouge when non-NRA types approved of them bringing guns to the protest.

Put Biden, Nancy, and Schumer in charge and see what happens.
