11. So you claim that this is falling right into Trumpedos's hands?

So what are we, as liberal/progressives, supposed to do?
Not fight back and let his Brownshirts continue to injure and murder us?
What kind of strategy is that?

No thanks, I spent a very large portion of my life dedicated to protecting the Constitution and I'm not going to let him and his Nazi Brownshirts shred the Constitution without a fight.
Against this back drop, I've decided to purchase a Colt AR-15 with 3-30 round mags to keep in my home, along with my already owned Colt .45 ACP.

You may not agree with me, but that's the way it is and if you ultimately decide not to defend yourself with a firearm, that's your decision, but I will not go down that road.
