      I can’t fathom how people saw police beating protesters to death in 2020, are decrying the new Trump presidency as the rise of fascism in America, and still believe that the government should be the only ones with firepower in their hands.

      Now is exactly the time when the left should be rallying behind the second amendment.

      I dont see a problem with owning guns. Its just taken too lightly in the states. To get a gun where im at, you need to get certified - theoretical, physical and psychological tests are done. And no one starts pissing about personal freedoms if they fail these tests. I think you also need to be member of a shooting club. Point is, you need to demonstrate your ability to handle a weapon responsibly. Im not one to confuse correlation with causation but… you dont see many stories of shootings here.

        Cool, if the dumb as shit fascist down the street owns a gun and wants you to die for being different then you need to protect yourself.

      Ah yes. The true red blooded American solution; the only way to solve a serious problem is to escalate it out of proportion.

          *When anyone does it.

          The solution to there being too many guns is to remove the guns. Not add more.

            Cool, well that’s definitely not an option now that we voted in a right wing fascist.

            Maybe once leftists get in charge again we can try passing reasonable gun laws again
