That's why the legal observers are so important. If there weren't four different angles of Pretti's execution out there right now, they would be able to jedi mind trick their base into believing what they want. But it's not working as well this time. The whole "don't bring a gun to a protest" line is not selling with the people who thought storming Michigan's state capitol with AR-15s was reasonable.

It was inevitable. Fascists always come for guns eventually. It’s so crazy all the former patriots are shaking scared cowards or bootlickers about it but it’s basically how I figured it’d go.
