Former Sen. David Perdue (GA) used the war in Ukraine over the weekend to push gun ownership in the United States.
At a Second Amendment rally organized by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Perdue connected the conflict in Ukraine to gun rights in the United States.
"Joe Biden has taken away energy independence," Perdue told the crowd. "He's made us more dependant on foreign oil and he gave Putin -- he enabled Putin to become the murdering thug that he really is now. And so what we've got to do is we've got to stand up to them. That's why I'm here today."

(50,453 posts)Everything that ever happens in the world is cast as a reason to buy guns.
A Republican gets in office? "Buy guns to enhance your freedom."
A Democrat gets in office? "Buy guns to defend from tyranny."
It's Tuesday at 3 pm? "Buy guns because it's a pretty day today."
Someone walked in and shot up a Republican Party office? "Buy guns because this could happen to you."
