Where do the 17% that voted for Only if there is a Clear and Immediate Threat??? come from. May their houses be broken into so they can really see what happens, and these libertards should be banned from owning firearms. These are voters that put biden in office and if they want to confiscate your guns they should be first in line.
These 17% morons need to be chased out of every town because they like illegal immigrants that are destroying our country. Libertards are the real threat to our country and should be deported with all the illegals that they support.
