I think we should give him and all White House staff guns. At least this mess would be over pretty quickly. ---

> [@enipla](#): > > I wonder how fast the White house would empty out if Trump was given his second amendment right to own a firearm. Trump applied for, and received, a permit to carry a concealed firearm sometime back in the early ‘90s, I think. I remember it being covered in the NYC tabloids. I don’t know if he ever did so; I suppose the very thought of packing heat made his tiny wiener semi-hard. ---

As the Trump apologists love to explain, as if it actually makes any sense: ‘Trump is a counter-puncher’ (or shooter, in this case). ---

[quote=“FloatyGimpy, post:36798, topic:774070”] Reality: [/QUOTE] A Republican held up a “Republicans against Trump” sign, so a Republican shouted “Gun!” and the Republican on stage was rushed off stage. Why can’t all y’all just put the Republicans in camps the way Republicans put asylum seekers in camps? But then I guess you can’t do that because you’re not Republicans. What a shit hole. ---

[The guy tackled in Reno was released without charges](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2016/11/06/donald-trump-nevada-rally/93385996/) Apparently he was a republican carrying an anti-Trump sign, so one of the toothless snowflakes got the vapors and yelled ‘GUN.’ ---
