    Back in 2016 I tried explaining this to a Hispanic guy I knew. Single issue voter, second amendment. Dude was a lost cause. Never talked to him again but I doubt anything has changed. Single issue voters tend to be simplistic fucking idiots.

      “Or, Mike, take the firearms first and then go to court, because that’s another system. Because a lot of times, by the time you go to court, it takes so long to go to court, to get the due process procedures. I like taking the guns early. Like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida, he had a lot of firearms – they saw everything – to go to court would have taken a long time, so you could do exactly what you’re saying, but take the guns first, go through due process second.”

      Trump is horrible for second amendment rights.

        Try telling his cult that. Those people wouldn’t believe proof if it was shoved in front of their face. They’re the kind of people who wish Jesus but then condemn him for being soft, or ignore the atrocities written therein.
