Now to be fair it says charged not convicted buuuut, this was down in the comments

So does this count as possessing? Who's guns are those? Where at least some of them his?

WELL LOOKY HERE: Lucas Kunce Gun Range Stunt Organized by CRIMINAL Prohibited From Accessing Firearms
https://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/10/24/kunce-gun-range-stunt-organized-by-criminal-josh-hawley-n2402704

I liked this comment further down in the tweet:

"In Kunce's defense, it would be difficult for him to find a campaign supporter who is not a registered felon."
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Kamala Harris
@KamalaHarris
Donald Trump has been very clear that he would weaponize the Department of Justice against his political enemies. You know who does that?

Dictators do that.

Following the lead of it's left wing sister paper, the LA Times, the left wing Washington Post has also declined to endorse anyone for President. Harris must be pretty bad if Trump is literally Hitler and these papers still won't endorse her.

And speaking of word salad.

Quote
    Republicans keep saying Kamala Harris speaks in “word salad” because she speaks in an intellectual, nuanced manner. They are so used to hearing first grade level vocabulary that anything more educated than that is confusing for them.

These are the people that are supposedly going to kick our fat, white, extremist asses in Civil War 2. People so fragile, that they consider a newspaper not endorsing their candidate to be violent rhetoric.

I note that McDonald's made the same offer to Kamala, but she turned it down. From their press statement a few days back, McDonalds handled staying unbiased better than any corporation (looking at you, Bud Light) in recent memory.
