    Ah yes, so the only other option is to roll over, give up your freedom, and trust the government to protect you from everything. Solid logic there.

      Nope, it categorically isn’t. That’s a strawman/false dichotomy combo so ridiculous that I doubt you’re actually sane enough to be entrusted with any weapon more dangerous than a camping spork.

        Well I could show you my gun collection but at this point I’m fairly certain that you would just shit yourself in fear.

        Anyway, have fun being unarmed with the state of the world today. The far right will continue stockpiling weapons and you’ll be knocking on the doors of guys like me if and when they finally decide to use them.

        That’s the thing that you’re not getting bud. The far right isn’t going to be using their guns against the military or the government. They’re going to be using the guns against us.

          statistically speaking that gun is going in your own mouth before you ever use it to serve your community

            Statistically speaking (and assuming you’re an American) you are an overweight 40-something hermaphrodite with some college education, who has 1.8 children and is going to die of congestive heart failure.

            There are three kinds of untruth. Lies, damned lies, and statistics.

          Typical ammosexual trait: can’t distinguish between common sense and cowardice 🙄

          Anyway, have fun being unarmed with the state of the world today.

          Thanks, I am and so is the vast majority of people in a radius of 1000+ miles from me.

          The far right will continue stockpiling weapons

          Because ridiculously lax laws and even more lax enforcement allows them to. They’re like politicians with bribes in that aspect.

          you’ll be knocking on the doors of guys like me if and when they finally decide to use them.

          Nah, I think I’ll just wait indoors until someone much more emotionally stable deals with it after your Rambo wannabe antics have gotten you killed.

          The far right isn’t going to be using their guns against the military or the government. They’re going to be using the guns against us

          And why is that? Because of the lack of laws, regulations, and enforcement. Not because wannabe tough guys like you don’t have enough penis extenders that go boom.

          That’s the thing that you’re not getting, “bud”

            My brother in christ fascist won’t hesitate to kill you if you stand in their way. I am not gonna stand in their way without the means to defend myself because I am not suicidal. Forces of reaction WILL have weapons and they WILL use them. You aren’t going to convince the fascist to take their own guns away from them through voting
