Liberals are going to have to get used to the idea of owning guns. I know plenty do, but still this can get ugly. Or they will just get arrested or shot in the face like that one chick.

Umm, I hate this comment because it’s basically assuming there will be some kind of armed conflict between normal people. I don’t think it’s necessarily going to happen, and we shouldn’t stoke the flames for it. What’s better than saying inane comments like “get a gun” is to reduce voter apathy and hopelessness, educate people on their voting choices, and get them registered to vote.
Social media has a tendency to heighten emotions, and there are many, many state actors who abuse that fact. I squarely lay any blame for Rittenhouse, Charlottesville car ramming victim, and Jan 6th on social media spread disinformation and incitement. Don’t believe everything you read about “supporters of [insert ideological enemy]”.
That said, access to guns is a right for Americans and there’s nothing wrong with knowing self defense. But know that proper gun training and discipline is not scaling with gun ownership. So people are basically creating unsafe environments and situations for their families and others. Don’t do this, don’t be stupid. If you get a gun for any reason (sports or defense), learn safety!
Overall, it’s important to get more progressives in congress and other places of power and authority. Not advocate for armed conflict
I own several guns. I used to have a concealed carry permit because I traveled alone for work with expensive items. I let it lapse after I changed jobs. After sandy hook, I considered getting rid of all of my firearms because American gun culture started to disgust me. I mainly shoot air guns for plinking now. Haven't shot a firearm in years.
Now that maga has become such a presence, I'm considering getting a carry permit again. Gun culture still sucks. But, we can't let the crazies be the only ones who are armed.
@kingshrubb every time an article like that drops, it amazes me how divided the US is. I just can't wrap my head around how so many people would die for a fascist politician like that.
Police vs brownshirts, whoever loses, we win.
That's what I said when I was watching J6 on TV. "Come on! Fight the cops you pussies!"
Please do it, you stupid fucks. I want to watch as you and your gravy seals get annihilated. Get humbled. Fucking do it.
Let them riot. We need crimes to put them in jail.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the party of law and order.
There’s a bizarre basic lack of basic human decency right there.
Then again, lack of empathy and poor judgment are requirements for Republikans.
Not a surprise knowing these supporters of him.
