Everybody calm down. There's a reason that the 2Aers won't get mad about this.
This is as racist of a dog whistle as you can get. Lots of people are aware "stop and frisk" really means "stop and frisk minorities and plant drugs and weapons when you can."
So it's perfectly in line with the "law and order" bullshit. Don't expect a lot of anger about these comments. To the shitheads, these comments are directed at the "right" people. Cops wouldn't stop and frisk them, they think, because cops know that they're a law abiding citizen by the color of their skin.
Racists gonna fuckin racist, man. First gun control we ever got in the USA was because white people got freaked out by black people with guns.
You might be able to chip a few away by calling him a "gun grabber." They probably won't vote for Harris, but they won't vote for Trump either. They might just sit it out.
Chip a few away here and a few away there... that might be all that's needed.
Gun Grabbin' Donnie
That's G... r... a... b... b... i... n... Apostrophe
Grab em by the pistols
When you’re a cop they let you do it.
Grab 'em by the gun. You can do anything.
Grab 'em by the Glock.
Give them the ol' Glock twist!
