        Yeah, how’s that working out for “y’all”?? I don’t see any other Western democracy flirting with autocracy, and I don’t think it’s a fucking coincidence. Armed citizens lead to MORE tyrannical governments, not less!!

        The 2A isn’t a ripcord to save the nation, it’s a self destruct switch for when it’s not worth saving. Giv’r.

            Yeah, so? You’re taking up the rhetorical position that people should be fucking overthrowing their government with guns. You don’t get to just say, “Sorry, not American!” when someone calls you on your shit.

                And you think you could fix that with fucking guns. Yeah. I know.

                The 2A is already priced in. Like, there’s no fucking element of surprise here. They have had 234 years to anticipate an armed rebellion. The odds of an armed overthrow are no more likely in the USA than they are anyplace else; less likely, in fact, specifically because of the 2A.

                Just fucking grow up. The A-Team is not coming to save anyone. This needs grown-up solutions, with lawyers and international consequences, not rednecks with shotguns. You’re engaged in masturbatory self-stimulation of your own amygdala. Fucking stop it.

          The problem with glorifying guns is that when you do so, you give those with guns , the desire to kIll.

          Murderers don’t hate tyrants for tyrants are the ones who deem murder so agreeable.

    It’s that second party liberals are always telling me about.

    “The other party are literal Nazis!”

    And what about the Dems?
