send the government door to door taking the guns away
Uh huh, so Cops going door to door to take the guns away from the 24% of Black and 15% of Latinos who own them. I'm sure that would go super well! Excellent suggestion! /s
the suggestion is tongue-in-cheek in that i think it will specifically not go well for the cops
It ain't gonna go well for the folks at home either. Your "tongue-in-cheek" comment is a thin veneer over brutality, violence, and death on a massive scale. Literally tens of millions of people.
It isn't clever and it isn't funny.
yeah, it's not, I'm mostly just sad about how america is right now
America right now is somehow simultaneously the best its ever been and enormously fucked up. I'm in my 50s and the amount of positive change, particularly social, I've experienced in my lifetime is incredible.
There are definitely problems that need solved, Gun Violence is one of them, but the story of America isn't over. We're in a period of turmoil right now but we'll come out of it better than what we started. Just like we have before.
Sweety do you really think they'll be taking guns from other Nazis?
Facism is knocking, and its armed and dangerous.
Id love to finish my transition, and attempt live out the rest of my life happy, but that might have to come to a screeching halt if I see some of these ICE fuckers in my neck of the woods.
The streets are running red, and its the wrong blood flowing.
