Full tilt bar brawl over Trump going on at FR, and it is EPIC

Whether this is true, or not and will be forgotten tomorrow...

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/trump-moves-ban-bump-stocks-response-last-year-s-deadly-n849706

...the Freepers are all acting as if it's a done deal.

A few are going with the "DT is a DNC plant" line, while others are telling them to STFDASTFU,
as see:

No. This is about banning bump stocks. And that’s it. I’m a veteran and a owner. I have zero issue with this, mainly because I am a reasonable human being that does not think something as trivial as this is a threat of any kind to my rights. I also do not have any irrational fear about massive confiscations or an inability to protect myself from a tyrannical monarch over this. In other words, calm the F down.




Here, let me play something for those poor, poor, misunderstood snowflakes:

...apparently- and most of 'em aint having it AT ALL.

Then again, with the Carnyhanded Cheeto, it's always best the do the following:
"Don't listen to what the lips say, watch what the hands do"

We'll see by the end of the week

This is a minimal gesture to try to placate us. Do not let it end here.

“Once you start saying “Guns are the problem” it’s only a matter of time before confiscation.”

That’s what it’s about. We haven’t turned the corner yet but are making progress.

I could swear some of their posters are liberal trolls. All it took was a few posters responding to the predictable racist threads about the film saying how good the film was and they were off to the races.

Actually saw FR members calling other FR members racist. Of course the irony was completely lost on them.

FYI. I only go there for specific subjects searching FR and the subject. That way I only give Rim Job one click rather than search thru the site.
