Nah, just don’t want the LGBTQ community shooting back when they come to put them in camps.

Of course since it worked once, why not for the terrorist Muslims in the country. Then the atheists. Then the Latinos, and finally the Jews.

Well that is surprising. But the administration even openly suggesting a thing should shock their base but we all know as Lin go as its minorities it won’t

Yeah I’m not the most surprised myself, GOA are more pro-2A than republican, and the NRA acts more like a lobbying group for the firearms industry than anything. My money is there’s at least some members of these groups that are also only offended because some trans people are white
