I’ve seen multiple idiots claim that the left has done a 180 on 2A, when, in fact, that is *exactly* what the right has done.

Just like they did with political violence. And cronyism. And naked corruption. And accountability. And free speech. And censorship. And big government. And pedophilia.

JUST 1 MORE THING: If we’re to accept this idea that a person having a firearm at a law enforcement encounter is per se evidence of a person’s intent to “inflict maximum harm,” doesn’t it then follow that law enforcement can’t constitutionally bring firearms themselves, per multiple Amendments?

Something to keep in mind about Minnesotans protesting unarmed with guns being pointed at them is that they more or less ALL have access to a gun, but are choosing not to bring one.

Bravery isn't holding a gun. Bravery is standing up to other people holding a gun.

Last week on the trail, I found one of my favorite quiet miracles.

These are Pipevine flowers — easy to miss, blooming before the leaves arrive, long before most things wake up.

They’re part of a remarkable relationship that eventually gives rise to the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly.
