"Tyrant" for the common 2A crowd meant "Someone who seriously disrupts the status quo of patriarchal white supremacy. You know. Like a black woman"

There's a few out there who genuinely intend to use access to violence to protect their community from systemic violence. But that is a vast minority. I see a lot of lemmings thinking that the 2A crowd was speaking in good faith. They were not. And because of the political culture of America collapsing complex political spectrums into binaries that largely exist by virtue signaling, anyone who is against this should be presumed gunless, and anyone with a gun should be considered pro-this.

There are a lot of people with progressive views that are armedin america. The issue is we are up against an actual army and there is no leadership. People arent very likely to risk thwir life if they think they will be alone. I fear comments like yours perpetuate the idea that lefty gun folks are alone

My apologies! Yes. I was more interested in saying "We need more of us, and we need to get coordinated"
