Every self-respecting Democrat or leftist who cares about themselves or their family should own a firearm and know how to properly and safely use it.
We’re entering a time where it may be critical that you need to defend yourself. It is not out of the realm of possibility that you or your family may be targeted in the not distant future for your political leanings.
We all know that the Republicans have guns because they never shut the fuck up about them, and we also know that in their wildest wet dreams Trump will let them run the streets gunning down anyone who is isn’t white or anyone who voted Democrat.
They have guns, they know how to use them, how are you going to defend yourself when they come for you?
I was thinking a kevlar vest might be a better investment. They may or may not shoot at us, but we can’t be the ones to shoot first.
I’m waaaaaaay more likely to kill myself with a gun than use it for defense. It would put a gun within arms reach of my children, even if it’s locked away. Most people do not need guns.
100% agree on both points. Most of the population shouldn’t handle a gun. Me included. More people need to be willing to say that about themselves.
defend yourself when they come for you?
No.
See, the Republicans and the MAGA-hats are not going to “come for you” in the form of roving hit squads going door to door and loudly announcing their intentions.
These are bullies. What they’re actually going to do is harass and insinuate. They’re going to make it seem like they’re threatening you, but they’re not actually going to threaten you. But they’re going to pass ridiculous laws with the intent of squeezing you and whatever other minorities into untenable positions; they’re going to appoint their cronies into positions where they can fuck with your businesses and housing and your jobs, and they’re going to send the police around constantly to stick their noses into every little thing of every person they don’t like under bullshit pretenses. And they’re going to pass laws making it legal on paper for them to do all of this. They’re going to push and push and push but they’re never going to lay a finger on you until you retaliate. And then you’ll be the bad guy, and the cops and courts will believe it. And their supporters will eat it up.
This is a gentle reminder that anybody with any sort of felony (non-violent included) can not legally own a gun.
With that in mind, certain political entities in power can target specific demographics and charge many of them with felonies in order to remove them as potential opposition.
At least with being a convicted felon you can still be president.
See, why do we need gun laws when it easier to become president than to buy a firearm?!
