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.

I’m sure that only applies to a) people of a different skin color first, then b) poor white people a distant second.

* Poorer white people. Even those who know they're poor think it won;t target them, only those who are worse than them somehow

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.

Oh sweet. Yeah only let whites have guns, I'm sure this will play out perfectly fine

Almost NotTheOnion territory here

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

Wait it’s not Obama taking the guns!?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

They know that the police aren't stopping and frisking THEM so I bet they'd be all for it.

I doubt Trump's followers will think of this as a breach of their 2A rights. They will likely think that it's black people and bad actors who will have their guns taken for the safety of the boys in blue.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Hey maybe this will make my wealthy white mother OK with the cops taking away her guns

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

I don't see the inconsistency. This is dripping with dog whistle racism. Whites don't get stopped by cops. Whites are the cops. The 2nd ammendment is for me not for thee

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

He has said this before and everyone forgot. Wild that the Dem VP is an avid hunter that believes in 2nd amendment, just wants background checks, while the republican candidate wants to confiscate.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Finally a reason you yanks should vote for the clown

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

You must think we're stupid or something. 🥲
