I'm not in america. I know how to use firearms and am trained.
I am asking the most armed country why it is a single way range right now, when they keep saying they have firearms for this specific situation.
It would seem that by "tyrannical government" most of us actually meant "non-whites".
More directly, I would guess the people who are in a position to do something, like myself, would prefer not to be the only one showing up against a militarized police force and federalized national guard troops. Armed resistance isn't widely viewed as necessary even though I would argue we're past the point where it should have been widespread. Perhaps holding that belief and not engaging in such methods makes me a coward, I'm honestly not sure. I do know that I see a lot more sentiments like "where are the armed leftists" than I do "how do I join an armed leftist organization" and I don't think we're going anywhere until that changes. Everyone, myself included, is waiting on someone else to step in and stop this rather than deciding that it's up to us to do it ourselves.
I think it's also that each individual person is so isolated and each small geographic region has such a lack of interconnected community. Each individual person, no matter how well armed or courageous, is nearly powerless against these organized paramilitary occupying forces in their communities.
Then keep your fucking mouth shut. We left wing armed people in America are few and far between, and it’s our own party’s fault. None of my IRL friends even k ow I own guns, and they’d be horrified if they did. I can’t buy standard magazines that my guns literally shipped with in the box (they are now banned), can no longer buy the same guns I already own (they are now banned), and in another year I’ll need to attend a class and fill out a form for a permit if I want to purchase a firearm, regardless of me owning them already.
“2a where you at?” <— fuck you, that’s fucking where. We’re probably less than 1% of the population, way too few to make any difference.
My fellow Democrats did this.
Enjoy fascism, assholes. You made sure we can’t stop it.
Fuuuucking preach. Couldn't have said it better if I tried.
Because most places require checks and classes. The myth of walking in and walking out with a gun in ten minutes isn't real in 90% f the United states.
Then there's learning how to shoot it without scaring yourself then there's actually knowing how to use one under stress
Now, one would have the learn to be cold blooded enough to want to harm someone
Those are HIGH barriers to cross, even if one a owns a gun.
One should always save that for last. Always.
If your skin ain't in the game you don't get to complain. It's easy to tell "other people" to go risk their lives.
Then Americans should stop saying their guns are for when tyrants show up.
I don't have skin in the game when the orange turd has threatened my country? Take that nonsense to the circus.
Real tired of your shit Yankee.
Bruh, the USA absolutely fucking excels in fucking complaining and invading without a shred of skin in the game. They have fucking earned to get tossed all the shit in the world at them.
