TRUMP/GOP Post-Truth anti-American Corporate Fascists are using Hitler's tactic of gradually outlawing guns to ALL who may possibly oppose them; STARTING with Liberals who use THC - who're much LESS violent that those who use/abuse alcohol. This has ZERO to do with reducing crime; IT'S NAZI CONTROL!
