Wait. Doesn’t the 2nd amendment give us the right to bear cows?
I guess the whole “Kamala’s taking our guns away” thing hasn’t been working too well for TSF.

The guy that would like to be the leader of the free world™is reduced to picking out random pieces of conspiracy fantasy and presenting them as his own ideas. Listen closely and you can hear his neural circuits shorting out.
