    So where are all those second amendment loving NRA patriots that believe that they need military grade firearms to protect their freedom from the tyranny of the government?

    Because if you’re waiting for the opportune moment, this is it.

      All these years we’ve been told that the reason it’s necessary to let innocent children die in mass shootings is just in case the need to overthrow a tyrannical government arises. Guess they died for nothing

        You know what fully ended school shootings? The pandemic lockdown. We know what causes school shootings; schools are an underfunded nightmare pressure cooker half a step away from the prison system. We know how to fix it, change the system. Since we rushed back to the system that causes the shootings as quickly as we could, I guess you could absolutely say they died for nothing and will continue to die for nothing, probably until there are no more humans left to die for nothing.

      You keep disarming yourself. The right has all the firearms. Who is driving the fascist? Is it the left? No… it’s the right wing…stop trying to disarm yourself, you make no fucking sense.

        There are lots and lots of lefties with guns who know how to use them. Many of them live in the Pacific Northwest, though certainly not all of them.

          What? The PNW has some of the strictest gun control laws in the US.

          What are these lefties armed with? Rocks?

            In the PNW you can buy AR-15s, shotguns, rifles, semi-auto pistols, and more.

            I think you’re confusing PNW with New York or some other location with “strict gun control”, which really just means that you travel to another state to purchase firearms anyway.

            Firearm sales have tripled since 2000, that’s our bread and butter.
