If you look up at the sky and happen to see pigs flying, this might be why.
Democrat Senator Chuck Schumer has finally found reason to support the Second Amendment.
Following the deadly shooting of armed anti-ICE activist Alex Pretti by federal agents, debate has raged over whether or not Pretti’s weapons played a part in the justification of his death.
President Trump publicly stated that he was uncomfortable with the fact that Pretti, who was there to impede ICE, had a loaded weapon on him during the contentious riots.
Even Trump knows it was stupid to protest with a 9mm & two fully loaded magazines.
Did Pretti have fantasies about getting into a shootout with Feds? Who knows? But he was armed like he did. pic.twitter.com/6febOLbzKe

The deadly confrontation also sparked a change in federal leadership on the ground in Minnesota, which emboldened the perpetual rioting class that has taken over the streets in Minneapolis.
It’s also apparently sparked a newfound love of gun rights in Schumer, who on Wednesday chastised President Trump on the floor.
“The president seems to have forgotten the words of the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed,” the minority leader declared.

Informed X users reamed Schumer’s disingenuous declaration in support of the Second Amendment:
And just like that, democrats support the 2nd Amendment.

The same party that puts on scripted political theater, demanding the banning of “assault rifles” after every shooting, even ones that didn’t even involve a rifle at all.

Yup, the same party.
These people spend the better part of their careers disarming us and now they are apparently members of the NRA now….have never heard them speak more strongly in one’s right to bear arms.
