States Rights, say Republicans historically, protects against an over reaching federal puppy killing loon.
Noem's federal government is a State Rights Killer Too.
Da wird jahrzehntelang der zweite Zusatzartikel zur US-Verfassung interpretiert als individuelles Recht, Waffen zu besitzen, damit man sich gegen eine tyrannische Bundesadministration - 'bloss keinen König!' - verteidigen kann.
Oder meinte die #NRA doch, der Zusatzartikel bestünde, um den Tyrannen gegen ein freiheitsliebendes Volk zu verteidigen?
@Kropotkin1312 as @antifaintl pointed out, the #NRA are useless and spineless...
@antifaintl +9001%
#NRA are just a bunch of #white heterocisbany men that are #cowards. The few marketable exceptions don't change that!
Auffällig still gerade scheint mir die #NRA mit ihrem: „Ihr braucht neben Revolvern auch alle Sturmgewehre usw., falls der Staat mal ausser Kontrolle gerät“. #uspol #LosAngeles
Given the latest #GOP #Hegseth #Trump rhetoric and the protests in LA, it's time for a #HistoryLesson on the #PosseComitatus act. Where the fuck are the #Libertarians and where the fuck is the #NRA? https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained
It's going to be really interesting watching the MAGAs tie themselves in knots trying to pivot to "The government taking away our guns is good, actually" once this lawless administration reaches that step in the Fascist Playbook. [1]
Will the NRA finally rise up against the authoritarian government, as they've long claimed as the justification for their gun fetish? They haven't done it in the last five months.
[1] Probable schedule: sometime between next week (due to "violent unrest in California and other places targeting ICE just doing their job") and just before the 2026 midterm elections are cancelled (or more likely "postponed").

Ray (2019), on #racial #social #systems, has well over 2000 citations because it's an excellent piece of work. Despite that, Ray mistakenly cited a 2016 article by Bracey rather than his 2016 dissertation to make a point about #Evangelicals and cited Zakrison et al. (2017) to make a point about the #NRA despite it not mentioning the NRA. Curious how many people will now cite these two papers for the wrong reasons (without reading them) as a result
GOP wants to end 90 year-old tax on silencers, at a cost of at least $1.4BILLION over the next ten years
House GOP applauded Representative Eric Burlison from Missouri who said,
"This is about making sure that people keep their hearing at the end of the day"
The NRA is mobilizing for it
But then I always thought that "the right to bear arms" would be utterly useless in fighting against tyranny anyway -- because a successful dictatorship is always backed by the military, and the military are ALWAYS going to have better weapons than civilians.
The NRA are, and have always been delusional in that regard.
Want more dolls? The answer is in Sacha Baron Cohen's "Kinderguardians."
Just make Doll-Gun combos. Then Donald Trump can't cut back on doll sales without betraying his gun-loving NRA backers.

Hilarious vox pops from the #NRA convention.
Got to love #thegoodliars
H.R. 38 and S. 65 would create a new federal mandate that would force every state to recognize every other state's standards for carrying a concealed and loaded gun in public—including states with weak or no standards at all. This legislation puts all of our communities at risk.
Fight back by urging your U.S. senators and representative to oppose H.R. 38 and S.65:
@austinkocher that's literally #ForcedSeperation aka. #ChildTrafficking by #ICE / #CPB and #ForcedDisappearance of a person!
