Funny. "Due process" is suddenly embraced by Republicans, but only when The Gun is threatened!?

Republicans have supported a President* who has shown, in a long litany of literally dozens of Tweets and official statements, his complete disrespect for due process and the rule of law...and nary a peep from Republicans.

But when the President's* same utter disrespect for due process and rule of law touches upon their precious GUNS, well then, the Republican DUE PROCESS! buttons, hats and T-shirts pop up overnight, literally, and there is a hue and cry for respect for the rule of law like folks have not seen since the French Revolution.

Jokes on them; how do you backtrack from that kind of support for the rule of law the next time the President* screams at another court ruling that displeases His Majesty?

*not really President
