The Nazi party a.k.a. GOP a.k.a. maga already have hundreds of millions of guns, everyone who is a patriot must buy a gun now.

Whether it ever comes to a time when they are needed, who knows, one thing is for goddamn sure soon you won’t be able to buy one if you’re a registered Democrat or if you’re not maga.

EDIT

And I forgot and appreciate the person who reminded me, anyone who purchases a weapon and does not know how to use it needs to find a gun range or shooting club and pay for some training. There are defense firearms training companies.

Oh and if you will not own a weapon for any reason, moral or religious or otherwise, I totally respect that.

1. Why not missiles and claymore mines?

3. A time may come when you wished you had done so.

2016 I purchased a handgun due to unhinged rhetoric from the far right.

We have a local nutjob who walks around like Poncho Villia, crossed bandolarios, 9mm on each hip. Looking for an excuse.
The right is armed and itching to use them against the "libs".
Your either lucky to live in a very safe area, or delusional if you think it can't happen here.

Best to plan for the worst and work for a better future.

4. Seth Abramson is warning that the gerrymandering

Will give Mike Johnson an excuse to not accept the results of the election when the piece of shit tells him to not accept the results of the election when Democrats win midterms.

High-level Democrats will be arrested, like in New York State right now. Not arrested yet but that’s coming, Americans have a right to defend themselves.

2. and what do you propose to do with it?

[CentralMass]

7. I've contemplated buying one, but at 65 I've yet to do so and most likely never will.

5. When Rachel Maddow herself tells you you are in an authoritarian government

And you mock the person suggesting you exercise your second amendment right to own a weapon, I’ll just shake my head and sigh thank you.

6. What in the holy fuck do you think this ICE thing is all about

That South Park had to make fun of that they will hire just about anybody now and give them a fucking gun, Jesus fucking Christ wake up

[leftstreet]

11. Private profits

That's ALL it's about

Moving tax payer funded programs into the hands of private shareholders

[DSandra]

13. Honestly, if you have a gun they will bring in a whole platoon

You have a squad and they will bring a company of troops.

They are only focused on overwhelming force.

19. RW author, but...

...mutatis mutandi, I think it applies.

And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?

20. Millions need to find their courage then

Then I can have faith.

8. Who are you planning on and training for to kill?

Could you give a brief description of your training regimen?


Nobody who is not willing to put in the time and expense for training should have a gun.

[gay texan]

9. I never wanted to carry a handgun

But i do now. I'm trained in their use and in conflict avoidance.

I grew up around them. My Dad was a combat vet. I know far too well what a bullet does to a human body.

I never thought we would go down this road as a country but here we are.

[DavidDvorkin]

10. Hell no.

[DSandra]

12. Blue states like California make it a pain to buy a gun

You have to buy a safe to store the gun, you have to pass a firearms safety test (administered in a gun store or other likely RW infested place), pass a background check you have to have a 10 day waiting period. Yes I know all of this has good meaning behind it but guns are already expensive and then you have to add the cost of the safety test ($25), the gun safe ($100+), $37 in state fees, 11% tax on guns, in addition to ammo and money spent training at a gun range (also likely RW infested.) Those are significant deterrents for anyone already on the fence for buying a gun in a blue state.

14. There's only one way to deal with fascists.

And I know a lot of people on this site don’t want to deal with it, don’t want to consider it and think that somehow the system is going to save us.

It isn’t.

You cannot vote fascists out, they will not leave willingly and they don’t care about people waving signs and wearing pussy hats.

There is going to come a time when we need to end this by force. I know it’s scary, I know it’s going to be horrible but it must be done. Otherwise we’re just going to have to eat the fascist boot and see everything and everyone we care about die. We’re just going to have to knuckle under and hope they don’t bother us or worse, join the team. There is no other way.

It’s that serious. We should be doing this now while there’s still food to be had.

Unfortunately, Americans are too comfortable. Too easily distracted. And saving the country is too inconvenient.

It’s surreal that we’re at this point but we are there. Denying it is folly.

[DSandra]

15. From my analysis, I think America is doomed

The best thing you can do is to find a way to immigrate, but that's not even a guarantee as America has a huge influence on the world, for good or for bad.

[Eliot Rosewater]

16. Exactly, I understand if someone says they absolutely refuse

To ever use any kind of weapon for any reason that they give and I will respect that, for the rest of us this is a coming reality.

What pisses me off is the people who attack us for pointing out this reality, it’s OK to tell us you don’t want to do it for whatever reason you have, just don’t make it seem ludicrous for others in the situation we are in.

18. Why was it OK to take up arms in the civil war against

Fascist racist scumbags and not now?

In this case it would be self-defense.

[DSandra]

17. The joke is on everyone who thinks that they can hold on to their lifestyle

That house you have? That car you have? That career you have? Good luck trying to keep all of that. The Administration will doom the economy, making everyone fight tooth and nail for resources, you may be forced to become a member of the Republican party to keep your career and Democrats may be banned from being able to own a business or from certain careers. Your citizenship may be stripped and/or you may be sent to a concentration camp to be worked to death or worse.

The cost of not fighting may be more than the cost of fighting.

[CentralMass]

24. I agree with much of what you day. This administration is attacking our way if life

The Tariffs bring revenge to replace tax dollars for the wealthy while the companies ww work for are laying off people and passing on the increased cost of the tariffs onto us. Add gutting critical federal agencies and and AI & robotics increasingly displacing workers and we are f'cked.

[cadoman]

21. you do realize this is the talking point of every 2nd amendment nut for the last 100 years?

That it's "our duty" to buy assault weapons to "overthrow a tyrannical government". While blithely bad-mouthing every sensible gun regulation and tax that comes up?

We voted the fiend out in 2020. People tend to forget that. Democracy works. Fascism doesn't.

The public is going through a stupid, racist, misogynistic phase right now, but they came to their senses once and they will again when we nominate a straight white male in 2028.

[Oeditpus Rex]

22. Are you going to answer WarGamer's question?

Ìt's also my own.

[Eliot Rosewater]

23. Oh my God I just saw a response here that all that's really happening

Is stupid people going through a “phase.”

I thought I had heard it all.
