Top text: Like a lot of people I’d forgotten about these fucks Screenshot of a tweet from @ClimateDefiance reads: Patricia and Mark McCloskey brought weapons to a protest. They were honored as keynote speakers at the 2020 RNC. Included image depicts a man with glasses in a pink polo, Mark McCloskey, pointing a rifle at people off screen next to his wife Patricia McCloskey, a woman in a striped shirt, who is also pointing a pistol at protestors at a the June 28, 2020 St. Louis, Missouri George Floyd Protest.

I have a few tiny guns like that. It would jam on the next shot from limp wristing it. She bought it because it was cute, has no idea how to use it.

For the life of me I cannot see why training requirements violate the 2A.

    I think in a perfect world, we should have some sort of impartial training. In the world we live in, I wouldn't trust Trump's administration to set the training requirements. I'm sure step 1 would involve turning over your social media accounts.

    I still think well-regulated militias should be a pre-requisite for owning firearms, at least as far as compliance with the 2A. Like have them be registered and require at least biannual training and ammo inventories, and there you go, easy. But something at least.
