    Oh wow, I didn’t think of “acting” — thanks for the hot tip.

      What’s the point of the 2A if not THIS EXACT THING RIGHT NOW.

      Just wanted to look like badasses, like in the movies. Pathetic.

      Edit clearly you thought of acting and then dismissed it. I get the sense that too many of you think midterms will save everything. The height of stupidity. The elections are not happening.

        So just start shooting people in the government? That’s your idea of “acting”? You don’t see any problems with that?

        Are you serious?

          In the next year your country may force my country into a world war. Thanks for that.

          I’m not going to advocate for violence. At least if you’re going to wear the guns as fashion accessories then do it openly in protest or a general strike.

          Sorry you have to be uncomfortable.

            I didn’t vote for the fascist asshole. I’ve been at every major protest and a few minor ones.

            But I’m responsible unless I shoot up every federal worker I see?

            The fuck is the matter with you? How would that even help? It would make things far worse for everyone except for the very fascists we are trying to stop who would use it as an excuse to do more fascism.

            I’m sorry you’re in a bad position but your “solutions” are incredibly stupid.

              Oh yea those weekend protests every couple of months when did Americans become so spineless. Look at France ,you know the country who Americans make fun of for being weak, to see how to protest.

                People are being disappeared to el Salvadoran torture prisons for being the wrong color or just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

                You first.

                Look at deaths when France riots and when the US riots? The cops kill people the citizens kill each other in the US. The two countries can’t be compared.

                French citizens protest and still don’t get what they want. What is your point again?

        The 2nd amendment wasn’t supposed to be a major part of the American identity. It was considered low class to own weapons in this country for well over a century after its founding. The conservatives and business tycoons are the ones that decided to make guns ubiquitous and a primary part of the American identity. They orchestrated a media campaign in the early 20th century to make us think that the 2nd amendment actually does something for us anymore. The truth that we all know, including you, is that a gun is useless when you have to fight The State. The State will not hesitate to bring in more and bigger guns, kill all resistance, and label the dead as terrorists.

          The second amendment is still useful. You use the little guns to obtain the big guns.

            Useful for corporations to make money and millions of Americans to die senselessly in gun violence you mean?
