yep these are pretty much the universal gun safety laws. if you can’t follow these you have no business touching a firearm.
Three rules in FBI firearm training:
1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Don’t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot
Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you don’t like

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Ratatouille is a very influential film
🚨 Documents leaked to me reveal a federal watchlist of American protesters suspected of being Antifa - including its supposed leader.
One Department of Homeland Security document says a 29-year-old resident of Portland "is the leader of Antifa":

jen has a hyperfixation on wool and YOU are reaping all the benefits with this very cool dump WoolFacts™️
Let’s talk about 🐏 WOOL🐑 a 🧵 in multiple parts (if I can figure out how to do a thread)
When I was a vegan, I never bought wool, assuming it to be unethical and exploitative somehow. Now I know better. Wool reveals its secrets and is a literal record of the sheep’s life, nutrition and care. (Cont.)
