4. These big bearded bubbas don't realize that there are plenty of progressives with guns and know how

to shoot straight. RW gun waivers are cowards. Just like the last civil war they will get their asses handed to them. The big talkers should remember how the industrial might of the Union ground them to submission. Just watch how they turn on each other trying to save themselves from prison. Progressives talk softly but carry a big stick ready to slap the crap out of these traitorous bastards. They wake the sleeping giant at their own peril. I can’t wait for the day to come when the “woke” movement rises up against Fox, Murdoch’s and rest of the propagandists who should be dealt with like the Italians dealt with Mussolini. Drag them through the streets for the crimes they have committed against this country. A reckoning is coming and the right better straighten their shit out before it’s too late.

6. 'Tough guys' intimidate but do not protect.

The extreme gun nuts love to intimidate unarmed folks and patrol already safe neighborhoods in daylight to show how tough they are. Let them patrol the Chicago projects on Saturday night where many thousands of decent people are trapped in their apartments, afraid to come out.

(Not mine; others in the house.)
And Godson who lives nearby has three more.
And his roommate has six. For himself.

And while I don’t have a gun anymore, I am qualified on the M1911 pistol, the M16 rifle, and the M60A1 main battle tank to include both of its .50 Caliber and the 7.62mm machine guns. Not “qualified”, but I have fired a wire-guided anti-tank missile.

Does any of that count...?

who, sadly, lives in q-bert's district, told me recently of his most recent encounter with a guntrumper. He said the guy got visibly nervous when my friend pointed out that liberals own guns. And know how to use them. My friend has several hunting rifles and a pistol.
