WASHINGTON – Following the killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis, FBI director Kash Patel has advised American citizens participating in anti-ICE demonstrations to leave their firearms at home, while reiterating how guns are still welcome and encouraged in schools across the country.
Generally agree. Didn’t mean to imply that the NRA was or is « good » at this point.
Just hoping that they might lash out against the Trump admin at one point, which does not seem completely impossible now that they’ve called out their narrative on Pretti’s murder.
I feel that they’re exactly the sort of actor that could make a difference by convincing some of the gun-wielding conservatives to at least stay on the sidelines, and maybe help the army make the right choices if they ever get properly involved.
I realize it’s a rather optimistic take. The situation is very bleak.
I’m intrigued by the fact that you feel that civil war is inevitable yet feel Americans wouldn’t need guns.
