Sen. John Cornyn is in hot water with a lot of conservatives for helping spearhead the Senate gun deal that includes language on red flag laws. Former President Donald Trump, still banned from Twitter, weighed in on Truth Social, and then NBC News’ Sahil Kapur took a screenshot and posted it to Twitter so we wouldn’t miss it.
They begged and pleaded for Twitter to ban him for years. Twitter bans him, and they still keep posting his messages. Wild.

Kapur notes Trump’s lack of evidence for his claim that the deal is the first step toward taking your guns away.

(without evidence) is exactly how they will take your guns away with red flag laws.

Journo vocab 101: "claims without evidence" = It's true but I'll insinuate it isn't.
Red Flag laws are for taking people's guns. Those in favor will say it's for a just cause, but the fact remains that they are for taking guns from certain people.

Your claim that he has no evidence is without evidence.

Not everything needs evidence. Just common sense, logic, and a history of what happens when rights are slowly taken away.

You mean, aside from leftists own words about wanting to take people's guns away?

"Without evidence" Just high profile dems saying they want to take guns away.

There's plenty of evidence. Read the f***ing bill.

A lot of people are upset with Kapur for bringing the bad orange man back into their timelines, especially when his statement is a “call to violence.”
