1. I haven't seen the movie idiocracy in a long time and I don't

recall if in the movie everyone walks around with guns and automatic weapons, but that's where we are headed And we will be killing each other before it's all over.

2. Conservatives will kill women one way or another.

3. Next up: prohibiting felons from owning firearms violates the 2nd Amendment

4. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually up next

6. Not a chance in hell.

The firearms ban for felons was explicitly racist. There's no way they would let 33% of the adult AA male population have guns legally.

5. This will kill women.

Just like the abortion ban kills women.

They're women killers.

7. That is INSANE!!!

8. Maybe they should also allow firearms in courtrooms in that case

Or do they think the Constitution gives them a special carve out?
