So where's the NRA? Armed in her own home and shot by government tyrants exercising her right to protect herself with a firearm.

Who am I kidding...

Same place the NRA was when Philando Castile and Breonna Taylor were shot.

And since this woman is apparently queer, I'm guessing the NRA will have the same level of sympathy.

I always say this kind of thing when I see similar events. If you're going to be killed by the police just for having a gun in your possession, you don't have the right to have a gun. The right always likes to pretend like they care about gun rights and freedom, but if they did then they would want more restraints on cops, not less. It's obviously just lies. They want cops to keep the poor in line while they do whatever the hell they want, and somehow they've been able to convince a bunch of other poor (though mostly white) people to vote for them.

The NRA stands for the right of white home owners to kill minorities.
