Yeah, riiiiiiight!

Curses, they’ve exposed us.

What to do? What to do?

A) So what?

B) What the heck is "Pro-gun"?

[Olog-hai]

A couple of years ago, DW used to allow Disqus comments on editorials like these, but they scrapped that as soon as they discovered US “righties” started to dominate on there.

[Olog-hai]

With a president so connected to pro-gun activism and the increasing influence of far-right lobbies on White House policy, the Dorrs could achieve exactly the kind of loosened gun laws for which they have long campaigned — and for which they are now trying to exploit the coronavirus pandemic.

Uh-oh, “loosened gun laws”.

Of course, not a peep out of them as to how left-wing state governors are actually exploiting the “pandemic”.

[betty boop]

Who/what the heck is Deutsche Welle? All this angst about those evil gun owners!!!

They shouldn't worry, most of our politicians are working to stamp out evil gun owners. Why, Gov. Baker of MA has ruled that gun stores purvey "non-essential services" and therefore, he closed them. How reassuring to know that the right to protect life, liberty and property is not "essential."

Whatta jerk!

[proud American in Canada]

Two thoughts: first, the politicians are on a power trip, and second, they’re taking names now? They just proved that they are on a power trip.

Our “concerned” German friends may do well to have a look at this:

Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in America.
How is that working out?

[Grampa Dave]

I had a lot of relatives, from my dad to uncles and cousins who had to fight Germans and kill them in WW1/WW2 to read about our second amendment is so evil.

[Gay State Conservative]

I guess Deutsche Welle has conveniently forgotten that neither the Nazis nor the East Germans were big believers in the right to keep and bear arms.

[Olog-hai]

Brought to you by the Marshall Plan.

[SmokingJoe]

The beauty if it is, almost all the power drunk Dem governors have kept the liquor stores, the weed stores (where it’s legal) and the lottery ticket stores open. They deem them “essential”.
So our criminal fraternity go and fortify themselves with weed and vodka, so they can home invade, rob and pillage, but the home owner is essentially barred from buying guns to defend himself and his family.

[Gay State Conservative]

I hear ya! To see what Europe has become it angers me no end that we spilled so many millions of gallons of blood there.

[Old Yeller]

No, the NWO is taking advantage of the virus.

[Grampa Dave]

Brought to you by the Marshall Plan.

Still negatively impacting us, decades later.

What did they find? 1 website that did this? and now they accuse all protests of being gun lobby inspired?

The left media are scumbags-

[Olog-hai]

The left was in charge of the USA when the Marshall Plan was implemented. They allowed West Germany to make a basic law that is remarkably similar to communist constitutions, thus allowing them to expand that into the European Union (and it was Kaiser Wilhelm who wanted “a United States of Europe against America”).

[Grampa Dave]

The seriously wounded vets who returned were often forgotten.

My Dad had a cousin who was like a younger brother. He came home from Europe with a metal plate replacing part of his skull. Extreme heat or cold were very painful for him.

My Dad suffered a broken back in a training exercise in WWI.
His older brother visited him in a Kansas hospital. Then he went home and died from the Spanish Flu. He had never been sick. He left a young widow and a young daughter.

These are just a few of the lasting negative impacts on our families who fought the Germans twice or had members killed or seriously injured.

[metmom]

Yeah, but you live next door to NH.

Those Demonrat governors and mayors releasing criminals onto the streets helped out quite a bit.
