Left wingers, scootch. Let's have a little talk. You need to go to the range.
Just learn how a rifle or a handgun works, because at the end of the day a fat gravy seal might be coming to kill you or your spouse because you're gay, or trans, or brown, or black, or anything outside the inbread and brain dead ethno-state dreamt up in the head of fascists who want a return to yee olde nationalism so they can jerk themselves to sleep thinking of their "great leader".
So learn handling, reloading, unjamming, all kinds of stuff. You don't need to buy one - though you probably should, along with the means to secure it - but learning and knowing is something you should probably set as a goal.
Gonna be real honest chief, I'm more scared of you going on a rampage because of your gun toting boogie man than I'm scared of your boogie man.
You wanna own a gun? Cool do it. You wanna own 50? I might raise an eyebrow, express a little concern but do it. (Every collector should raise an eyebrow at other collectors, it helps keep us in check). But man when you start sipping that fearaid please stay the fuck away from me. Nothing scarier than a gun owner preparing against an imaginary boogie man.
Did in any way dog whistle some form of left-wing violent revolution? Preparedness alone is a good thing, to be able to defend yourself. Learning how to use a rifle is a good thing, because you live in a perpetual state of gun violence anyways.
As for me? I don't live in the states. I don't need a gun. But if I had police killing innocent people like it's a sport in my surroundings, I would. The US police force is just a couple of steps away from wearing leather boots and knocking on doors. Word to Cop City.
Buying a gun is a donation to the very worst members of the Republican party and permissive gun laws do far more to enable extremists than dissuade them.
If this bullshit worked, America would already be the safest country on earth by a huge margin.

I mean, so is paying taxes? I think equating purchasing any firearm from anyone to financing the republican party isn't really a sensible claim. It's not like the profit from every gun sale is going directly to the NRA.

If gun control laws were feasible in America I wouldn't have to arm myself to protect my family from a bunch of racist dudes in a militia......
If America was inhabited by reasonable people who would tolerate reasonable gun control laws, I would fully support them. We do not live in that country, nor do I ever foresee us living in that country.
Instead liberals have spent a decade of political effort to die on a hill without making an iota of progress. Guns laws are among the largest drivers of single issue voters to the GOP. Fighting this unwinnable battle has done nothing but drive gun sales and secure easy votes for conservatives.
Plus, even if we did somehow pass legislation through Congress, you really think the vultures on the current supreme Court would really let it stand?
The only way America has ever passed gun control laws is when the "wrong people" armed themselves and started to make "up right citizens" nervous. If you really want gun control, arm yourself and make the "upright citizens" question the wisdom of their own beliefs.
Hey right winger. I did go to the range. I even took gun safety. I still think it's utterly useless technology for almost everyone on the planet. You are propagating fear rather than diplomacy and good nature.
I don't think 99 percent of guns need to exist. If we could get help for all those people so hurt by their place where they don't go mass murder children I would love THAT technology be sold and put on the pedestal guns do.
Because guns have more rights than women. And it's disgusting. If you think knowing what they do and what they are matters I'm here to tell you, it doesn't. They still do one thing. End a life and make it easy for anyone to do it.
I'm not a right winger, you goyt. The reason why I promote knowing how to use guns in case you need to protect yourself from the possibility of crazy nationalists and fascists who might be coming to your neighborhood, which makes me exact opposite, you Barney cunt.
At least call me a tankie. That would still also be wrong, but it would at least be at the right side of the political spectrum, ya daft cunt.
Fucking yanks and their broken public education sector.

This claim requires an unrealistic interpretation of reality to make any sense. He isn't propagating fear, he is responding to a threat. Do you think it's a smart idea to engage in diplomacy with a person who is armed and views you as sub-human?

That's great, I too wish humans were reasonable and peace loving entities. However, that doesn't change the fact that the most racist and violent demographics in this country are also the most armed.

But what exactly does this have to do with leftist arming themselves against the increasing threat of political violence?
They still do one thing. End a life and make it easy for anyone to do it.
Yeah...... That's kind of the point of any weapon. Your rhetoric seems to be suggesting that we are debating the very idea of if guns should exist as a concept. Not the reality of what to do when a large percent of the population already has them, and are training in groups to utilize them in political or racial violence.
i dont disagree but unless you are the kind of leftist hoping every 4 years that a socialist will magically pop up on the ballot and fix everything, go enough to the left and you will see many people considering guns as one of the possible outcomes.
You want to lower gun violence? Legalize all drugs.
Don't see many liquor stores shooting each other up over territory these days do ya?
Maybe the democrats arent serious about lowerung gun violence. Maybe democrats don't really believe in bodily autonomy. Democrats want to tell me what I can do with my body.
No I don't need to write a 100,000 word essay on how Republicans are worse. We all know it dipshits.
I know how to handle handguns, rifles and shotguns, even field-stripping. But warfare has changed a lot in the last couple of years and pew pew small arms are useless. Are small arms all that you know? If yes, you are useless.
I think it might help against murdering wakos but I agree they're not much use in civi hands against a professional army.
However, I would say warfare changed a lot before then too. Artillery does the killing and has done since the invention of the shrapnel shell. Thats why in nearly all combat footage, you can't even see the "enemy." Its because the soldiers also can't see the enemy.
I mean, I'm not American but if I was, I would definitely have a gun. Too much extremism and lead paint to not have one.
They try so hard to look "tough" and it never works out for them lmao. No amount of skulls, flags, spikes, and black clothing will change the fact that deep down you're just weak and scared of the world.
Well, I live in Canada where I don't have to be scared of getting shot. So your point is entirely irrelevant. I can point and laugh at rednecks all I want.
Christian nationalists are great big pussies, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't take the threat seriously.
It's too bad god is such a pussy and they have to defend him so hard. If they believed in a tougher god, they wouldn't feel threatened by everything secular and they could rest easy.
These guys are just modern conquistadors. Them, their rhetoric, and their thirst for Christian domination is nothing new to literally anyone not white.
