I live in MN, we needed the show of force and it took way too long (Minneapolis was left to burn for days). As soon as it was actually applied, the rioting/looting/burning pretty much immediately stopped for the most part. Portland could learn a thing or two, just proof that it actually works and the mayor is just being a POS.
Biden's gun policies would turn a lot of moderates away, it's mind blowing that it isn't talked about this election. Liberals just shrug it off as they just don't care about owning a firearm or the second amendment.
