      Yeah, how’s that working out for “y’all”?? I don’t see any other Western democracy flirting with autocracy, and I don’t think it’s a fucking coincidence. Armed citizens lead to MORE tyrannical governments, not less!!

      The 2A isn’t a ripcord to save the nation, it’s a self destruct switch for when it’s not worth saving. Giv’r.

          Yeah, so? You’re taking up the rhetorical position that people should be fucking overthrowing their government with guns. You don’t get to just say, “Sorry, not American!” when someone calls you on your shit.

            Have you seen what the US government is doing right now? The latest assassination by ICE? Government agents?

            Editing to add that it’s a fucking shame that the citizry isn’t truly standing up to the rise of facism.

              And you think you could fix that with fucking guns. Yeah. I know.

              The 2A is already priced in. Like, there’s no fucking element of surprise here. They have had 234 years to anticipate an armed rebellion. The odds of an armed overthrow are no more likely in the USA than they are anyplace else; less likely, in fact, specifically because of the 2A.

              Just fucking grow up. The A-Team is not coming to save anyone. This needs grown-up solutions, with lawyers and international consequences, not rednecks with shotguns. You’re engaged in masturbatory self-stimulation of your own amygdala. Fucking stop it.

                I did grow up, you’re not the one realizing that left leaning individuals need to fucking fight fire with fire at this point, because those fucking assholes won’t listen to anything else.

                You think words will stop those ICE agents that shot Alex Pretti? Come on, tell me. What words will stop them? What lack of force will stop evil in human flesh?

        The problem with glorifying guns is that when you do so, you give those with guns , the desire to kIll.

        Murderers don’t hate tyrants for tyrants are the ones who deem murder so agreeable.
