LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz. — Arizona GOP Senate hopeful Kari Lake told supporters they can "strap on a Glock" to be prepared for the intensity of the 2024 campaign and urged military and law enforcement veterans to be "ready," as her race heats up in a key battleground state.

“We need to send people to Washington, D.C., that the swamp does not want there,” Lake said toward the end of a Sunday speech to a crowd of Arizonans in Mohave County. “And I can think of a couple people they don’t want there. First on that list is Donald J. Trump; second is Kari Lake.”

She described standing up to the “swamp” in Washington, saying: “They can’t bribe me, they can blackmail me. That’s what they don’t want me in Washington, D.C. And that’s exactly what President Trump wants me they’re fighting with him.”

“He’s willing to sacrifice everything I am. That’s why they’re coming after us with lawfare, they’re going to come after us with everything. That’s why the next six months is going to be intense. And we need to strap on our — let’s see. What do we want to strap on?” Lake asked as some in the crowd chuckled. “We’re going to strap on our, our seat belt. We’re going to put on our helmet or your Kari Lake ball cap. We are going to put on the armor of God. And maybe strap on a Glock on the side of us just in case.”

“We’re not going to be the victims of crime,” Lake continued. “We’re not going to have our Second Amendment taken away. We’re certainly not going to have our First Amendment taken away by these tyrants.”........................................

It's also incitement...the obvious inference is that when she loses you're supposed to use the Glock to shoot anyone who looks like they didn't vote for her.

This is an actual crime, if only someone would wake up Mister Milquetoast.

Other than that, the copy editor must have been drunk with all those spelling errors inside a quote. Geesh.
I did LOL at this: "He’s willing to sacrifice everything I am." Yes, indeed, trump is certainly willing to "sacrifice" anyone ELSE to further his goals.

A shooter once wrote in his manifesto "Since you can't get to the generals, take out the foot soldiers, the ones who elected them in office." We must be on high vigilance.

I’m in Europe as I write this and just googled Glock to make sure that I had the thing about Austria right. Guess what came up. “Buy Glocks mailorder”. WTF? I didn’t look into this further.
