    We wouldn’t be in this mess if the left weren’t so damned anti 2nd amendment. Like, the amount of people I know in the Midwest that simply refuse to ever vote Democrat solely because of guns is insane.

    That, and the DNC trying to make Hillary president. Then not having Biden step down due to health in like year 2. The left could win some things if they didn’t suck at it and weren’t also corrupt as hell.

      A lot of this country is still stuck in the manufactured civility-world that was painted for us in media in the 80’s and 90’s, where racism doesn’t really exist, and politics is all about if you’re following the rules and that a good, logical argument should be our strongest tool against destructive forces.

      Which is really wild considering we are literally entering world war 3, ICE is now a paramilitary force with no oversight and reports only to the president, and they are building concentration camps across the US, and our entire health system has been defunded and academics are pouring out of the country while the climate burns around us.

      I have my own issues with the DNC, but that’s a whole different rant. For now, we have to do everything we can to remind those who would rule over us that they can’t use force to intimidate us.

      I’m not against people owning guns. God knows, we need a big crowd of hunters to thin turkey populations in New England. But by the same rules, there are some dumb absolutists against any form of gun regulation.

      A child shot his brother from an unsecured firearm? We must send a pamphlet advertising gun safes to the parent sometime in the course of the year!
