Waking up ain't fuckin' likely. The billionaire class has spent the last two decades ensuring the media terrified anyone left-of-center of the finest multipurpose battle rifle ever devised. Yeah, scary shit! Any reasonably competent human can pick up an AR-15 and go to work. It was designed for 18-yo dipshits to fight anywhere, anytime, any conditions, with minimal instruction or weapon care.
AR-15 used in any killing? Front page news. Maine shooter goes on one of the wildest rampages in recent history? Meh, no mention of the gun used. (It was an AR-10. Not sexy news.) Can anyone imagine why the ruling class wants to keep these weapons out of our hands? I got no idea!
If y'all didn't get strapped on the first go round, I can't convince you. All I can do is the job in front of me, and the fascists aren't in my hood. Yet. Because the people around here are armed.
While we're at it, I cannot overstate how fucking angry I am to have to walk my immigrant wife down the street with a pistol in my waistband. I have never worried about being armed in my life, and I've been in some crazy shit.
