      Oh, no need to wonder - liberals have successfully convinced themselves that disarming themselves is the answer.

        Good thing the NRA are there to imply the right to bear arms against foreign enemies and kings as is their argument every single time. Perhaps they will implement it now. Perfect opportunity.

        Anytime now…

        Good thing we didn’t take their guns…

        Any

        Time

        Now….

        Oh and your entire idea is to blame the dems for this too.

        Pretty sure disarming everyone was the answer. But I don’t see gun enthusiasts stepping up to stop fascism, so looks like gun aren’t a part of it.

          It’s an answer for anyone that’s unwilling to accept reality as it is, but sure.

            And yet here we are in reality, with all these guns, and you mfers don’t do anything. Pansy-asses. You’re like a force fed goose.

              Jesus christ, how many times does this need to be spelled out?

              There are people who agree that guns are bad and they are disarming themselves. There are people who disagree and are arming themselves. It just so happens they also support the current govt.

              If you could go back 40 years ago and change so many things, sure taking guns away seems like a good call. It is not to anyone that actually understands reality.

                Plenty of people who don’t support the government have guns. The point is no one is brave enough to use the guns either way.

                There will be no revolutions. This is the next 50 years at least.

                  In 2022 every ideologically driven mass killing in the U.S. was carried out by the far right with an overwhelming number being carried out by white supremacists. In 2025 to date, every ideologically driven mass killing has been from the far right (this is no different than 2024, I have not looked at 2023 but I’m willing to bet the answer is the same). School shooters are overwhelmingly conservative.

                  You’re right about them being cowards, you’re wrong about them being unwilling to use them. You’re right that there won’t be revolutions, there will be massacres. They are waiting for the green light from their overlords that allows them to, legally, kill you.

                    Once they start getting shot back at, they will run and hide like the right-wing cowards they are.

          Maga likes guns. Maga will not disarm. Maga hates liberals. Liberals dislike guns. Liberals are disarming.

          God forbid I pay attention to what’s going on in the U.S.

            I’m a liberal. Been a hunter all my life. I love guns.

            You are making generalizations not factual statements.

              Exception, not the rule - and the people downvoting me prove it. No one likes to be told their worldview is wrong.

              Edit: look into ideologically driven murders in the U.S., then look at ICE getting 20k more troops and natl guard deployed to LA. Look at the toys they have and tell me your hunting rifle is going to do anything when they have fucking tanks and riot armor.
