Any of those 2a weirdos gonna show us what 2a is for or not?

I see a lot of domestic enemies around and suddenly the obese, insanely loud dipshits aren't making a peep.

No, they love the boot on their face, as long as someone they hate also has a boot on their face.

To be fair, a couple of them already tried.

Looks like it's time for the left to start collecting guns and trigger the "wait, not like that!" response from the republicans.

As a 2A advocate, I've recently considered buying my first gun. I don't own one mostly because I have young kids and I don't want to risk them playing with it and getting hurt, but there have also been a some incidents where people got shot due to road rage, and it would be nice to have an option to defend myself.

That said, regardless of how many or what kinds of guns I end up owning, there's no way I'm using them against the government, there's zero chance that ends well for anyone.

You can't have a democracy if you can't hold it accountable. Violence is the last option, of course. But it must be an option in the face of the threat of more violence. Fascists will always exploit this weakness in liberalism.

Sure, and if I felt we were actually facing a fascist takeover, I'd reconsider my options (and probably move elsewhere). But I don't, I'm more worried about the crazies on the roads that got something messed up from COVID or something and are taking it out on drivers.

Trump is certainly going to mess some stuff up that I care about, but I believe he'll leave in 4 years and we'll have another idiot in power, but hopefully one that brings us forward and undoes some of Trump's mess.

We're not going to see concentration camps or death squads, so a gun won't be helpful there. I'm far more worried about random crazies getting more bold and threatening my family.
