U.S. Senate Republicans moved to block a ban on assault-style weapons put forward by Democrats on Wednesday, as the United States recorded the highest number of mass shootings for the second year in a row.
Not to mention using an army on the people they swore to protect is so vastly different than something like vietnam. Imagine if during the Vietnam conflict the VC lived in the same country as the president, the generals, and their families. These people have no idea how revolutions actually work to claim it couldn’t happen here.
It’s not even that, it’s shocking to me because most of the people who love guns are on the side of the fascists anyway. Fight the government? They’re going to vote for the authoritarians.
Work cited is crackpipe on this. 76% of americans have access to a firearm right now. I dont need to be a rocket scientist to tell you that if this were a party issue we would only ever have rep presidents.
That’s the point. Average citizens banding together against the government is bad. Average citizens scared of the government and their fellow heavily armed neighbors = good.
I’m a gun owner and i use them solely to hunt. Nothing more, nothing less.
It’s hilarious to me that you think your semi auto AR-15 is going to do shit against the US Army in the first place. Lmao

No one thinks like that or talks like that. No one imagines using arms like that. This sort of thinking is a “gotcha you stupid people” sort of thing.
Anyway, trying to correct this nonsense is exhausting. Posted about it last night if you want a look.
Yeah, there’s thousands of Palestinians that would agree with you. Oh wait, they can’t because they’re dead.
Is this the “Jews would have defeated the Nazis if they had guns” argument?
