Doge and those traitors can go fuck themselves...but well regulated still doesn't mean regulated like you think.
Also, railing against the 2nd while fascist are literally in power is just.... I don't even know what to say.
You don't seem to be interested in using 2nd amendment against fascists. You seem to be only interested in using it to shoot your neighbors and kids.
You don't know who I am, I'm very staunch 2nd amendment supporter, but telling me I'm interested in shooting my neighbors and kids is fucked. So kindly fuck off.
Secondly, I'm a huge proponent of social services and safety nets. I am, for all for all intents and purposes, a very left leaning progressive. I just don't believe in handing over my firearms because we have societal issues.
I also do not believe we're at the ammo box stage yet, but I'm not dumb enough to suggest we give up our arms, while fascist are pushing their agenda. If the ballet box fails and we reach the ammo box, then anyone on the left will be happy they kept that option open.
My comment was directed at you individually, but the populace in general.
And I'm not suggesting giving up your guns and ammo. Guns are not the problem, people are. Look at Sweden or Switzerland. Civilian population there owns a lot of guns, but people that own them are sane and trained.
My point was that most of the 2nd amendment supporters are supporting it for the wrong reasons. And I stand by that.
Hahahha they didn't like having that one pointed out
