this is about the dumbest op-ed i've ever read. and it's mostly AI-generated lol. the AI relics in it are outrageous. and @StarTribune moderator censoring comments pointing it out. @StribOpinion needs to do better vetting of their authors

Raise your hand if you carry a "fully loaded firearm with an extra mag" because its perfectly normal 🙋‍♂️
it's been extremely instructive to see which accounts are doing this kind of thing and those who are laser-focused on the threat to our gun rights that has unfolded over the last week.
pay attention. anyone doing this is anti-2a and probably part of a liberal psyop.
Interesting.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
There's no prohibition in Minnesota statute that says you can't carry a firearm at a protest.

this pathetic pos is single-handedly responsible for destroying the real maga dream. ask yourself why you're enraged all the time even though we won everything. ask yourself why everything is chaos. ask yourself why govt is bigger not smaller.
it's this unelected troll.
notice how these accounts are steering you away from the alarming gun control lib talking points that came out of the white house yesterday? that our president and fbi director both told us we "can't have guns at a protest"?
then magically this video shows up?
so the administration is telling us we can't have our guns at protests and all of a sudden this alex pretti footage shows up (changes nothing except that maybe we know now he was targeted b/c they knew he was armed).
there is a distraction for every damn thing.
VA dems might want to have a second thought about this. nearly ever lib i know or talk to (family, work, church) are buying guns and have a new appreciation for 2a.
things change quick sometimes.
🚨 Today, a bill to ban "assault weapons" was voted out of committee in the Virginia Senate-- and it essentially makes gun ownership illegal in the commonwealth.
Its author is State Senator Saddam Azlan Salim, who was born in Bangladesh.
In Virginia's code, an "assault weapon" is defined as "any semi-automatic center-fire rifle or pistol that expels single or multiple projectiles."
The bill makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to possess or sell an assault weapon under this definition-- as well as any magazine that holds over 10 rounds.
Most firearms fit under this definition.
If signed into law, it would turn millions of law abiding gun owners in Virginia into felons with the stroke of a pen.

The right using anti 2A terms frequently used by the left is the gayest shit ever. Hearing right wing dudes use “high capacity” “military style” “3 MAGAZINES?!?!” and others to argue is massively massively bad for 2A rights as a whole. Be better. I carry with with 3 mags everyday. I’ve carried at protests, both open carry and concealed.

You have the right to bear arms.
You have the right to film feds.
You have the right to protest.
These rights don't go away simply because they're inconvenient for the government.
at a time when organizations and individuals who claimed to be fierce 2a defenders have abandoned their posts in order to play partisan politics or simp for feds, this account has been a breath of fresh air.
A lot of you so called followers of mine earned yourselves mutes today.
Perhaps one day you can earn a voice again.
When you learn how to keep your political drama off my feed.
I do not support the right to keep and bear arms for just one group that defends me.
The right belongs to all people. It is inherent.

if you're an @nra man or woman, rethink. they've shown more loyalty to the federal government than to 2a in these last few days. @GunOwners has been steadfast and undistracted.
i voted for trump. i will not compromise on 2a because i did.
you should let people reply. i voted for trump 3x but i have known since jump street that miller was going to be a serious problem. been talking about it for a year.
lose him @realdonaldtrump and things will change overnight.

You don’t lose one Constitutional right when you exercise another.
Â
The First and Second Amendments are not mutually exclusive and GOA will defend both, with No Compromise.

I do not care if you are left wing or right wing.
The people have a right to keep and bear arms.
It shall not be infringed.

Where in the Second Amendment does it say “but this right comes with restrictions and you need to carry your permit & ID on you?”
Oh yeah, it doesn’t!
i voted for trump 3x but you start talking like i cant carry my legal gun to a protest, i'm done. watching all these so-called 2a "absolutists" and the @nra spend more time trashing a dead man than talking about the alarming anti-gun rhetoric from this administration is sickening
open your eyes. they're all but telling us that they don't respect 2A. alex pretti was a legal gunowner like me, like you prolly. i voted for trump and i cannot believe my ears.
REPORTER: “Do you agree with the assessment from some of your own officials that Alex Pretti is a domestic terrorist or an assassin?”
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “Well I haven't heard that, but certainly shouldn't have been carrying a gun."
"Bottom line: Everybody in this room, we view that as a very unfortunate incident. Everyone, unless you're a stupid person."
“I don’t like that he had a gun. I don’t like that he had two fully loaded magazines. That’s a lot of bad stuff, and despite that, I say that's a very unfortunate incident.”
