Trump says he wants to be dictator on day one. He has tried a coup once already. He pushes a fascist platform based on scapegoating foreigners and minorities. The party is discriminating against women, LGBTQ, non-Christians, and immigrants.

Is this perhaps the time to discuss gun control?
In Pennsylvania, you must register as a Republican to be able able to vote in the primary against a Republican candidate. Its the only reason this Democrat liberal progressive shooter was registered as a Republican. Im all for gun control legislation baring any registered democrat from being able to purchase a weapon. They are all the ones that are committing the atrocities.
