Speaking of guns - apparently Trump didn’t surrender…

all of his. It is a federal crime for a felon to be in possession of a firearm.

Any thoughts on if anything will come of this?

Salon is generally truthful, but ultra left leaning.

It sounds like the authorities are ready to do what they need to do to secure the weapon. Of course that hinges on the FL police to confiscate the gun.

This is an older article but it’s related to what’s happening this week. I assume he’ll get a slap on the wrist for not turning over all his guns so shortly after being convicted but it would be such great karma if that proves he bought a new weapon while under the indictments!

Some of this may be rumor. Allegedly a gun show salesperson posted that he purchased a gun from him, deleted the post later and then re-posted someone else’s video post about the purchase. Supposedly one of the guns he posed for a photo with that day was gold and/or had his likeness engraved onto it. If he bought a custom gun like that it would be pretty hard to deny - like a smoking gun 😆(plus purchase records and serial #).

What will come of it?

A fundraising appeal because mean Joe Biden ordered a swat team to take the gun out of his [tiny] hands in violation of the Constitution and god and Amurica! and if you don’t send your rent money, it will happen to you, too. And your money will stop babies from getting killed.

Also send money because Trump thinks you’re pretty and likes white people best.

Speaking of tiny hands, can those stubby little fingers even reach the trigger?

Honestly, I’m a little surprised he has guns. I always kind of thought he’d talk about being armed but wouldn’t actually bother.

There was a debate for MN governor a while back (I think it was 2018 but I could be wrong) where the R nominee was trying to hammer the D about how he wants to take your guns away, etc, and he was asked if he owns guns and while I don't remember his exact response, it was incredibly close to "oh, God, no."

Trump strikes me as that sort of person.

I mean…why would he? He has secret service protection. Oh wait, because his base treats deadly weapons like they’re toys.

Now that I'm a bit more awake, I think I conflated with the contraception protection. I've looked for what I read, but it's hopelessly lost in my history. So, nvm. They're fucking assholes either way.

Lol, clearly I wasn't awake. This was meant for another thread. Carry on!

Not to mention that getting other people to do his violence for him is definitely more his style.
