I guess this is an example of FAFO? This is what the NRA wanted, now they got to find out how what happens when there are too many guns and too many idiots with guns masquerading as law enforcement. The guy had every right to have a gun, and the masked tyrants had no right to kill him for it.

The NRA is ostensibly pro guns but they are also pro oppression.

they are pro-money and pro-gun-industry.

ain't no left wing causes giving them $$$, just the GOP, gun industry, and occasionally the Russians

They are not where I would hold them to if they were truly a principled organization and not largely a political tool for the far-right on any and every talking point, but we got far more out of them than we usually do.

They publicly called out a Trump appointee for saying you're not allowed to bring a gun to a protest, and have urged that there be an investigation in to what occurred.

They also then blamed it on the MN government, because for some reason CBP (250 miles from a border, and thus 150 miles away from their remit...) pretending to be police officers when they also lack a remit to do that and them then fucking things up and murdering people because of the lack of remit, lack of training, lack of screening on the hiring... is because of Walz and co.

So... better than I expected, but still pretty dogshit.

He was killed after he instigated a fight with law enforcement and his gun went off accidentally. Unfortunate for him, but it was entirely avoidable had he simply chosen not to attack law enforcement.

That's odd because I see him knelt with a gun to his head and a cell phone in his hand
