To our friends who claim they need guns to protect them from the Government

91. Spoken like a true

Gungeoneer. I have lived and worked in true "police states," and the USA is not even close. Instead of arming yourself with a gun, try some objectivity and participation in the political process.

You are free to run for office. You are free to voice your opinions far and wide, and loud and clear. You are free to criticize your evil old government in public and private venues alike. You are free to vote and campaign for the candidate of your choice.

I won't go on with the many freedoms that living in the USA allow us to enjoy which real police states do not permit, but I believe that you get the picture. Are we a perfect Democracy? No, and we never have been since our inception, but our young nation is still growing and improving. Warts and all, we're getting there.

As for your statement that we have "VOLUNTARILY surrendered all of our rights except for those covered under the 2nd and 3rd Amendment," that is pure bullshit and you know it. It is also a feeble argument in support of the 2nd Amendment as the NRA would wish it to be. The first part of the sentence states, "a well regulated militia," and NOT "a well armed militia."

Contrary to the NRA and Gungeon propaganda, Democrats are not coming for your guns. We are going to make you responsible for them, and more strictly regulate where, when, and how you can use them. The 2nd Amendment requires that we regulate your guns for the common good.
