And so I guess for the MAGA Republicans, OK, the Second Amendment protects the school shooters who bring the semiautomatics to elementary schools.

That should be protected.

But when you have a lawful permit and you conceal carry and it's actually there for the purpose the Second Amendment was intended intended for.

Then the Second Amendment should be impeded and you should be murdered for it.

And again, if you're like, well, Ben, don't be all hyperbolic.

Let me just remind you.

This is what Treasury Secretary Scott Besson said over the weekend.

Let's play his clip first.

Let's play this one.

I brought a billboard, and for those on audio, we're showing photos right now of Kyle Rittenhouse with a semi-automatic, with an AR, and we have over here these MAGA Republican protesters who showed up in the Michigan State House with their AR-15s standing outside of where the governor's office was with AR-15s, okay?

and i want to be clear on the heels of veston's comments and you're seeing these images if you're watching here on youtube that nobody even knew that alex prety had a gun they didn't know this before they attacked him so this is all after the fact them trying to find justification for their actions and it's disgusting and it's appalling and the fact that all of these people who know better

just fall in line, whether you're Kristi Noem, or Scott Besant, or Todd Blanch, or whoever it is, following the script.

It's so freaking appalling, and it goes against everything this country stands for.

It is evil.

There is nothing, there should be nothing political about this.

You should be able to look at this, if you're a Democrat, if you're a Republican, if you're an Independent, if you don't even care about politics, and say, this is wrong, this is un-American.

And if you are a Republican or if you are a consider yourself a MAGA person, then just think about this situation.

Think if you'd be OK, if because these protesters that you see in these images that I'm pulling back up, like the protesters in the Michigan state capitol here with their weapons, do you think that would have made it OK

if some sort of officer or federal agent or whatever you want to call them came in and then gunned these people down and used that as their justification.

Because you've exerted a whole lot of energy over these years claiming that you actually support the Second Amendment, and the second there's a situation where the Second Amendment actually comes into play, you abandon all your principles.
