Who don’t agree with him. This idiot and othe gop fascists are only going to get worst and out of control.

I don’t want to be scared but it’s getting harder to deny their call to violence.

I am not saying you need to go out and get a gun. But take some time to prepare for what their tactics may be. Assess your potential weaknesses to those. Understand how you will react, adapt, and continue.

Matt Gaetz says the 2nd amendment is about “maintaining within the citizenry the ability to maintain an armed rebellion against the government”

We have a 13th, 14th, 15th, 19th amendments too.

Ban all handguns and military style semi automatics.
Enough!

You're not joking. The reality is that the "stand your ground" states are the very place where juries would consider "2nd amendment solutions" to be "standing your ground".

society that supports and encourages him.

After all, he had no choice on being born an asshole. His choice was not seeking treatment and rehab.

He and MTG have been out of control lately. They are either completely delusional and high on their own ego trips or else they are scared shitless and going for broke. I am starting to think it's the latter.

I really hope this is the beginning of the end for both of them. They have gone too far.

Didn’t work for Donny. And they love him.

Won’t work for you, either.

You’re going to jail, Matt.
