    The gun rights y’all have?

    Now, most people would tell you that Gun Control Works and that you should just do that and get less dead kids per month which is a generally good thing.

    … But here’s another thing to consider. As long as you’re allowed to purchase weapons for cheap and easy.

    You do realise you can in fact do something about the assholes in your government and your oligarchies with those guns, right? That they can be used for more than just killing children?

    Luigi Mangione seemed to get it.

      They know that, they stroke their gun boners to that very thought.

      Except the tyranny they’re afraid of is someone coming for their guns, or “communism.” But they don’t know what communism is and aren’t aware that the guns aren’t the rights they’re losing.

        See

        You’re describing the MAGA crowd.

        All I’m saying is that there are plenty of non-MAGA Americans out there. Like 55% of the country or something? And that those people can get guns just as easily as the MAGAts do – And that “terrified children and minorities” are not the only human persons that can be targeted by a firearm.

        I know they won’t

        They lack the spine for it (or the spinal injuries?)

        But that’s precisely what makes this a case of ‘thing they aren’t ready to hear’
