Holy fuck, these are government sanctioned black shirts. I don't want to be sensationalist, someone please tell me I'm wrong or misreading this or something.

DeSantis did it in Florida a year or two ago as well. These people are gearing up for civil war.

Honestly, it's stuff like this that's got me wanting to move out of California so I can responsibly own firearms. I might sound crazy, but there's no fucking way some bootlicker is coming through my front door.

As someone in Tennessee that goes to the range regularly and just found out one of his college friends was concealed carrying every time it wasn't illegal:

Eh not worth the rest of the baggage. You, at least, don't have to worry about right wing death squads or getting kid-trapped by a girl who's scared to travel out of state for an abortion.

I'm definitely planning on moving to a state that combines that with a healthy respect for the right to self defense though.

The problem is those tend to be cold af.

Gross.

If you live in the USA; Go raise a fuss and holler and make sure that your local House Representative knows that this shit is absolutely facist and unacceptable.

To anyone considering voting for Republicans: this is the party that repeatedly claims it's for a "Small Government".

Reminds me of those unmarked police goons Trump set up to kidnap people during the protests and riots about them (the police) murdering people.
