Trump wages attack on 2nd Amendment: "You can't have guns" - Brian Tyler Cohen

[TexasTowelie]

Summary

Brian discusses the Trump administration's contradictory stance on the Second Amendment following a shooting incident in Minneapolis. The main points include:

The Core Contradiction:
- Trump stated "you can't have guns" and "you can't walk in with guns" at protests, despite being a Republican who previously promised to protect Second Amendment rights
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggested that merely bringing a gun to a protest justifies being shot, even though the victim (an ICU nurse) had a concealed carry permit and showed no evidence of brandishing the weapon

The Hypocrisy:
- Trump's current position contradicts his defense of January 6 protesters, particularly Ashley Babbitt, whom he called a "patriot" who was shot while "defenseless"
- On January 6, Trump allegedly ordered metal detectors removed so armed supporters could attend his rally, saying "they're not here to hurt me"

Backlash:
- Pro-gun groups like the NRA and Gun Owners for America condemned the administration's statements
- Even Republican staffers pushed back, noting that lawfully carrying a firearm is constitutionally protected

The Analysis:
Brian argues Trump is "losing everyone on all sides" by attacking the Second Amendment as a Republican, but will continue doubling down rather than admit fault, demonstrating he's operating from weakness rather than strength.
