    This is going to play really well with Trump’s base. They already have been fundraising on “If Donald Trump isn’t above the law, they’ll be arresting you next!” I bet they’re going to make a ton on, “Look, they took Trump’s gun! Now they’re coming for yers!”

      They’re going to say that regardless. We should not be treating fascists with kid gloves and should be throwing the book at them.

      Trump will make a big deal about giving up his gun, which he never actually owned, and then start selling replicas to chuds. I guarantee it. It will be a Chinese-made gold-plated 1911 and probably have an eagle on it.

        Earlier today someone linked a picture of Trump holding a gun with his own face on the handle.

          That made news about a year ago and is possibly evidence of trump commiting yet another crime.

          He visited a gun shop that had that gun for sale, and there were some conflicting reports about whether he bought it. Initially some sources said he did buy it, however federal laws essentially says you can’t buy a gun if you’re under a felony indictment, which he was.

          They pretty quickly walked it back and said that he only talked about buying it or said that he wanted to or something.
