    I thought it was a joke. It was not. How can people let that shit fly, when their constitution says that they can “legally “ do something about it, is astounding. For a country that has the highest amount of armed citizens, its very surprising.

      They use “protect us against tyranny” as an excuse for their gun fetish and masculinity issues. That’s the purpose of the guns. They’re not overpowering any tyrant.

      These people accept the highest military spending in the world, what are a bunch of McDonald’s addicted though guys with sunglasses and glocks going to do against a tank?

      what do you want us to do? go out and start killing people because they’re corrupt pieces of shit?

      it would feel really good to take out the trash, but the repercussions of it would likely cause way more chaos long term.

      there is a responsibility that comes with gun ownership.

        Maybe start with a General Strike… or at the very least one of those No King parades but on a Monday

          You implied that gun owners should do something about corrupt politicians. There’s only one thing that guns are used for. Hardly a surprising interpretation.
