I don’t think that will do much

Republicans, who are Americans, prove this wrong pretty much everyone single election.

buy a gun, 2A, I want you to be armed

No sensible person, in that country or out of it, thinks that Amendment or owning a gun will be if no more use other than to perhaps personally defend themselves. It’s not their answer and never has been. One thing that is true for them; they are confined in how they can fix their problem. There are ways, but this garbage that they violently cut loose is insane. That will bring out the full force, against the public.

Hopefully, they get a fair shot at this midterm and the next presidential election, in which both the primaries and the main elections need at least an 80-85% attendance. That’s some minor hardship for some, they’ll have to tell employers they’re voting and risk jobs. There’s only one full fix with the voting path; they must replace one major party’s core people with better people in primaries, and that’s only possible with one party. That’s it, there is no other.

If they don’t, then the only other option is national peaceful shutdown of the kind that can stop most, if not all, production. Only a week of that would be enough to get the Houses moving, which is hardly enough to evict and not enough to starve. Of course, that’s a broad brush and yes, there’d be hardship. The easier way was neglected though, and this only gets harder, never easier, as the choices get narrower. The sooner the better, too.

There’s other alternatives of course, you never know what the future holds. They’re based on hope or chance, though. Things like the administration imploding.

Then I guess we have your username and subsequently, the possible dickhead factor that comes with it.

Whatever…what a stupid comment

I'm starting to think you non-americans are just unaware of what America is like. Nothing I said is abnormal for an American. Going Skeetshooting, going to the range, etc are all normal activities that millions of Americans do regularly. If you own a gun and don't practice with it then that's just irresponsible. Not a single thing I said is illegal to do, or violent. That is just your own fantasy. And the idea that your going to do a "national peaceful shutdown" and that's not going to be met with mass violence, at which point you will need the people who weren't so naive to come protect you, is hilarious btw.
