I live in a hard red area and a huge number of families here depend on SNAP and food stamps. They are also heavily armed.
Don't worry. The Great Leader will speak on Foxnews saying that he had to remove the food stamps because of any racist shit and they will use those firearms to hunt non-whites as if they were paid for it.
Obama did it!
So?
I mean, a lot of people who are heavily armed, prior to 2020, used the historical justification of the Second Amendment to justify being heavily armed. That a well-regulated militia (guys who know how to handle guns, essentially) was necessary to protect the country from tyranny. Only, a lot of these guys (who voted red and who didn't vote blue) sat back and let tyranny take over. They either wanted it to happen, or they had the opportunity to vote against it and chose not to.
So I gotta ask of guys like that: what does it matter they're armed? At this point they're all just cosplaying. Because they had the opportunity to do what their forefathers did and they did fuck-all about it.
If you're friendly with any of them, make sure that when push comes to shove they're robbing the local Walmart and not their neighbors.
