Doomed if you do. Doomed if you don’t. So might as well be a man and do what you believe in.

In the US we have the Second Amendment. The fascists have been the ones screaming and yelling about the Second Amendment, but the truth is that all Americans have the right.
Owning a gun isn’t enough. Driving to Cabela’s and picking up a vermin killing .22 rifle is not enough. You should buy a proper rifle, a pistol, and a knife or baton. (Bonus points for a shotgun) Then you need to train with said rifle, pistol and knife/baton. Go to a range and shoot. Look for local self defense/hand to hand combat with a weapon classes and train.
I am not advocating for violence…far from it. But I am advocating for knowledge because owning a weapon and not knowing how to use it is a recipe for disaster.
PS: If you can afford it, buy suppressors and/or active hearing protection. Especially for your rifles. Suppression for the common citizen isn’t about stealth like in the movies, it is about protecting your hearing. Guns are LOUD. Much louder than you expect. Suppressors might be out of reach for most but quality active and passive hearing protection is not.
It really is a damn shame suppressors are illegal in California.
I like not being a gringo.
I like living in a normal country.
I like living in a country that’s not controlled by a cabal of pedofiles.
Who you gonna shoot? I’m serious. Stalin was a bankrobber. Haitians drove Napoleon’s army into the sea with machetes. The Black Panthers took several pigs off roll-call. What’s your plan, revolutionary?
Im not american but hopefully nobody. Their whole rationality for having guns everywhere all the time is that if everyone has a gun nobody needs a gun.
We, the rest of the world, think its a stupid idea, but if the government is literally killing people in the streets and declaring the murderers as heroes, its not looking so daft.
For the first time in my life I have considered a gun. I agree with your comment, it’s typically something I don’t need or want. I don’t want my neighbours to want them or need them.
But here we are and it’s terrible.
How do you shoot children in school then?
Simply being prepared for the worst is a plenty fine plan. Just, actually be prepared, don’t just buy a gun and expect to know how to use it proficiently when the need arises.
I believe that I can go to the store and purchase a sense of security. Once I own a gun, I can indulge in revolutionary fantasies that aren’t complicated by material conditions.
Safety is just another thing we’ve commoditized. No need to struggle against my own alienation or form coalition with my neighbors.
You all have guns, don’t see anyone using them but the popo? Way to stand against an aggressive state, eh!
Fun fact! If you’ve ever been involuntarily committed to like a psychiatric hospital you’re barred by Federal law from owning firearms! Some kinds of emergency and temporary holds are okay, but yeah because my wife had technically gotten involuntarily committed years ago before we met because she couldn’t make it to the hospital safely for it to be voluntary she can’t have them at all and it’s unclear if I’d be able to with my own history of mental health issues
Yeah, that whole second amendment thing turned out to be the joke we all thought. I’ve never known a nation to just roll over and take it as much as this bunch. They’re pathetic and their overlords obviously know it.
Or, and hear me out here, we’re really trying to not give dipshit the ammo he needs to deploy the military against us. Because when that happens, it’s game over.
How did this work out for Alex Pretti? He’s the perfect example of how this shit will/would play out. Stop telling people to commit suicide ffs.

Make sure someone takes video of when you “fight back.” I’d love to see how it all plays out.
Alex was a kind and caring individual, and if he thought he was going to die I bet he still wouldn’t have used his sidearm.
I, on the other hand, am not a kind and caring individual. If someone rolls up on me aggressively, my instinct is to pull out and let god sort them out.
that said, I have hyper situational awareness. I don’t put myself in compromising situations. I get myself out of them.
I’m not a badass. I’m not a hero. I’m just a guy trying to come home to his family.
I have no clue of what you’re trying to say.
what I’m trying to say is just because one person doesn’t show the initiative to protect themselves shouldn’t make it acceptable to deny others the ability to protect themselves.
I’ve been in situations that would have not happened had I shown my resolve to protect myself.
having a firearm is more than just a form of protection, it’s also a form of deterrent, and a form of rebellion. it’s a symbol showing others your resolve.
“I am very bad ass.”
I just need a few Barrett m82s for squirrel hunting… It’s my right!
Maybe to make squirrel puree, if you can even hit the lil fella with that cannon
