Well when you go through what he did it's understandable
I get that he's been through a terrible event, but that's all the more reason to understand why guns are so important. We're always going to live in fear of the right because they embrace guns and OWN gun culture. Guns, you know the thing that's designed to KILL. We're legitimately and utterly fucked if/when the right turns on us. Who are we going to turn to when lefties are getting slaughtered in the streets?
IMO It's this anti-gun policy policy that is the main detriment to left ideology in America. I get anti-gun can fly in other Western nations, but not in ours.
It's nice watching people do a 180 on guns when a gun control advocate wants to primary centrists.
"A total of 216 people have been killed and 643 people have been wounded in 169 shootings, as of May 31. "
That is 1.11 mass shootings per day.
Americans: "How are we going to defend ourselves without guns thouuughhhh :(:(:("
I'm all too familiar with shooting statistics. I still think the threat from the conservatives outweighs becoming the villain that destroys the left. Firearms restrictions are the number 1 reason Dems poll so low in many rural areas.
Really? I would love to see your pictures defending your democracy at January 6, 2021 with your guns. Or sure, you might not care about your government. Did you do anything at all with your guns to defend people getting kidnapped left and right, illegally mind you, by ICE? You know, since you are so ready to defend whomever you call "us". Oh but by "us", you mean yourself of course.
My dudes going to stop the right because he can get guns from Walmart lmao. Just say you like guns man, don't hide behind some excuse when this issue is killing children at schools right fucking NOW.
Lol, the guns are for my defense not yours. We're not nearly organized enough for me to support others besides my friends and family. I was offering advice as to why you should own them to protect your loved ones, but whatever. It makes no difference to me if you support freedom of defense or not. You're an adult and you can weigh the risks and rewards. Just saying that this socialist won't vote for candidates that would strip the proletariat of their means of defense. That seems antithetical to our cause.
Absolutely. Though, understanding him is a different question than voting for him.
