“I don’t give um hell, I just tell the truth on them and they think it is hell,” Harry Truman on Republicans.
Calling them out and shaming them, for being terrorists and racists, I mean the pro-gun movement is largely a “White Power” movement, can do no worse than trying not to hurt NRA members feelings.
