    This is why we have 2A in the US. Maybe we should start thinking about using it.

      Every 2a person I’ve ever met who talks this way wants to shoot the wrong people.

      It’s almost like maybe we shouldn’t rely on the lowest common denominator to resolve complex nuanced issues, huh?

        You’ve never talked to a single socialist, anarchist, leftist, etc. about civilian firearm ownership before? It’s very commonly thought of as a necessary evil to prevent systemic oppression. Maybe don’t spend so much of your time talking to trumpers and neoconservatives?

        To wit: there is no “right people” to want to shoot, and anyone who thinks there is probably has their own tribalism issue to work out. Community defense specifically does not have a target right up until the point someone else is an aggressor, and ends when violence is no longer needed. This is why you never saw “antifa burns down trump supporter’s house” or whatever in the news.

          Oh yeah sorry I forgot to mention I’m in an area where redneck right wing stupidity abounds.

            Yea fortunately im not a redneck. I totally understand how that line if thinking can make people uneasy. I think 2A is more useful in an “arm the workers” type of way
