    It’s not even that, it’s shocking to me because most of the people who love guns are on the side of the fascists anyway. Fight the government? They’re going to vote for the authoritarians.

      Work cited is crackpipe on this. 76% of americans have access to a firearm right now. I dont need to be a rocket scientist to tell you that if this were a party issue we would only ever have rep presidents.

      That’s the point. Average citizens banding together against the government is bad. Average citizens scared of the government and their fellow heavily armed neighbors = good.

      I’m a gun owner and i use them solely to hunt. Nothing more, nothing less.
