I just created this as a place for everyone that believes in being armed as a last resort to stop federal govt from becoming fascist. For me guns are only meant to defend my family and friends. I think if everyone is armed, govt will think twice before trying to roll us over, a bit like MAD of Nukes, it's a big deterrent.

I did not want the "Liberals" prefix but I do mean "everyone" is welcome here including LGBTQ and minorities.

I would love to get conservative friends come talk to us, provided they are tolerant to minorities, it would be nice for all of us to work together rather than let the oligarchs roll us over by dividing us.

That's a fair enough answer... But from the outside we see a country riddled with guns and one where that deterrent effect doesn't seem to work in practice.

It also, somewhat, contradicts your claim that it stops your government from becoming fascist.

I think that's because you base it on a false premise that those 50 millions of people will be on the same side... When we can clearly see a country completely divided between those that actively welcome fascism and those that don't.

None of this is a criticism, just an observation, and I respect you for your desire to never fire a gun at another human. I think we all wish that for you.
