Nobody was griping about protests. This country was almost unanimously shocked and sympathetic to George Floyd. If you missed that, you need to go for some remedial reading classes.

There are 330 million people in this country, mostly good, decent people in this country-on both sides of the aisle. Why are we dividing each other and complaining on an internet forum. Why aren't all the good, working people in our cities standing up to the thugs and savages (of every race and background) destroying their lives, their homes, their businesses? Why are so few of our 80 million law abiding gun owners (and I include myself in this) not on the front lines, protecting the innocent and their property. Why are we letting our media and our politicians get away with treating these violent savages with deference and respect?

This needs to end. We need to stop allowing spoiled, violent thugs to take over our cities-and our nation.
Just a guess, probably because those cities make it difficult for law abiding people to even own a gun? Many can't be bothered because of all the red tape and costs imposed. After this though I think things may change and more people will go through the hassle of owning a gun in these God awful cities? It's no coincidence that these cities are led by Democrats who are content to let the inmates run the asylum.

I own guns but I'm certainly not going to arm myself and go to these cities to protect others from these savages. That's a job for law enforcement. It's up to the residents of those cities to throw these Democrats out of office and change their draconian gun laws so they can exercise their 2nd Amendment rights like rest of us. Unfortunately by voting for Democrats the residents of those cities have reaped what they have sown.

They are burning America and the world is watching. this was a dangerous mix of bad policy making, activism and underground radical left wing groups gone unchecked. This is ANtifa, BLM, anarchists, communists and socialists attacks on the country...these are the ones who want people like Bernie Sanders, Eliabeth Warren and Joe Biden as the seat of the helm.
It would be interesting if people throwing rocks through windows, looting, throwing rocks at police, beating up store owners, were stopped and asked if they knew who Joe Biden is. Man on the street interview style.

What percent of those people could give a credible answer? My guess is somewhere around 5%.

So, no. Not "blue voters".

Be a FN blood bath-- and I KNOW not all certified and legal gun owners aren't also HATERS --if you bring your legal guns out - it would be met with many more illegal weaponry.. Let's not go there.

Truer words seldom spoken.
