And all the conservatives who “own guns to prevent guberment tyranny and fight oppression!!!” are also doing squat all.
The US is a bit FUBAR ain’t it?

If only. All the American leftists with guns are tripping over themselves to explain why it’s not time, and why the second amendment doesn’t apply when the government is rounding up and disappearing American citizens and sending federal troops to cities. They won’t even unify to vote against trump, let alone fight him

So are you going to be the general, inspiring and gathering people, and picking targets? Or is this just yet another call for generic violence against any targets so you can feel that others are “doing something.”
I’m not a killer. I’m not interested in killing random conservatives. I’m interested in things that reduce pain and suffering in the world. Murdering people who don’t agree with me is not the way I want to live my life.

As a general call it would be killing ICE agents to stop them from kidnapping people and the national guard members deployed to cities.
Though you’re correct in your assessment for change to be made through violence.

Democrats have been anti gun for decades and are now reaping the consequences, sadly.

I’m not American but know plenty, you’re all pro gun. It’s kinda crazy. Even democrats will defend gun rights. I saw a figure that said something like 61% of democrats are pro gun control, not ban but control. So that leaves 39% that are pro gun, on top of the pretty much 100% republicans who are pro gun rights.

I used to be pro-gun control due to the prevalence of school shootings. But seeing what Trump is doing with ICE (literally masked men throwing you into a commercial van) and reading the history of armed resistance (e.g., Black Panthers protecting each other from police brutality) I think it’s time we acknowledge that we are not going to vote our way out of this mess. Let’s not take a means of legal resistance of the table.

Oh yeah, banning guns is far outside our Overton window for sure. It’s a career killer for any politician. Just look at Beto O.

Being against a civilian arms race seems like a pretty sane policy in a country where school shootings is a national pastime.
Losing that arms race on walkover while simultaneously losing democratic institutions, that is… unfortunate.
