A federal immigration officer has shot and killed a man in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters onto the frigidly cold streets in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.

Note that these are the same Republicans who have lectured us for decades about people’s right to carry guns legally.
Also, the image they circulated seems to have been on the internet for a while. It’s not this man’s gun:

That 5 days ago link is just a weekly discussion thread that was made 5 days ago. The gun image was posted in the thread after the shooting.
Thanks. Yes, I’m starting to think this is a red herring so I updated my comment above.
