    Not to put too fine a point on it but this is exactly what the entire rest of the world would say when 2A cultists would talk about how “guns keep da gubmint in check”.

    Maybe, instead of wasting money, blood and political capital on making sure every psycho could pack heat it may have been wiser to spend it on firming up the laws and protecting against exactly what is happening now. For example, maybe a President responsible for a coup should not have been on the ballot.

      I think you’ll find that it’s a whole lot easier to find people willing to kill for a paycheck, rather than dying for one.

      Meaning of course, bring guns to protests to show that you have them. Those chicken shits wont start shooting if they are at risk of dying themselves.

        This sounds like a great way to get two angry sides of a protest to start shooting at each other

            The government has monopolized violence. If you turn a firearm on the fascists you’ll only get yourself shot.

            Organize, outnumber, overwhelm. You can blind and disable ICE vehicles with water balloons full of used motor oil and sand.

              Nonsense. They are cowards that doesn’t trade their lifes for a paycheck. In the us you are legally allowed to have your firearm at a protest. Start using them.
