    You all have guns, don’t see anyone using them but the popo? Way to stand against an aggressive state, eh!

      Because we don’t all have guns, the data is skewed by the far right rednecks who each have like 20 guns

        I know plenty of democrats or centrists with guns, they just happen to also be rational people. It’s time to bring them out though.

          Agreed, I want to see a quarter of the people in demonstrations armed. Not fighting, just armed, expressing their constitutional rights. I want them to also patrol and secure neighborhoods, be armed when in public. I want ICE to really consider next time they’re going to execute someone instead of just walking up to them on the ground and putting a round in their head.

      Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I’ve never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They’re pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.

        Or, and hear me out here, we’re really trying to not give dipshit the ammo he needs to deploy the military against us. Because when that happens, it’s game over.

          Compliance in advance with fascism to avoid violence does not prevent violence. It allows violence to continue against minority groups, to the benefit of the majority.

          If we resist his deployment of the military and feds into our cities he may deploy the military to our cities

      Fun fact! If you’ve ever been involuntarily committed to like a psychiatric hospital you’re barred by Federal law from owning firearms! Some kinds of emergency and temporary holds are okay, but yeah because my wife had technically gotten involuntarily committed years ago before we met because she couldn’t make it to the hospital safely for it to be voluntary she can’t have them at all and it’s unclear if I’d be able to with my own history of mental health issues

        This does make sense, so I’m confused why it’s actually law. I thought common sense gun laws were non existent in the USA?!

          Because apparently people don’t learn the laws like they should before they spout off. Like it’s illegal to own or purchase a firearm if you’re a convicted domestic abuser. Now enforcement, we can talk how lax that might be.
