I’m more curious what those fellas out in the boonies yelling we don’t want ANY government and stockpile ammo and train and such are thinking.
But I guess some some of their interests align so…

This is the exact moment the 2nd amendment was meant for. Now behold ! Literally 0 of the 2nd amendment guys will do anything about it…

They are happy that the government is finally killing libs. It’s even more fun that it was obviously MURDER, and they are going to get away with it.
They realize that this brings them one step closer to the day when Trump says the gloves are off, and he’ll pardon anyone who “stops” a liberal, and they finally start settling scores on their personal list of enemies.
anon_8675309@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Right. But after that they become the target. They don’t want any government and Trump wants total power.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 week ago
But that’s step 2, maybe 3. They can’t calculate that far ahead. Tic Tac Toe is challenging for these people.

That was my Dad.
He was a lifelong republican who listened to Rush Limbaugh and was terrified of Immigrants. Literally thought Obama was the literal antichrist.
Those people’s lives are based only on fear. Anything unknown to them is to be distrusted, feared, or destroyed. If this same shit happened when Dad was alive and youthful, he probably would have been wearing an ICE vest.

It’s time for those well organised militias, people. Stop yelling “impeach him”. You’re way past that stage (which would require a functional democracy).

If you got free speech you got gun rights. If you wanna step up go ahead

I am very luckily not one of them, but I support this message. When Trump was elected I told all my american friends “Get guns. Now”
None of them listened. I really hope it won’t come back to bite them…

For real. 2016 was literally ten years ago! Imagine the gear and skills they could have developed!
I think a lot of people consider it overkill or just a conservative thing. But no it’s for everyone! Just like you don’t need to be a “car person” to use a car or a “tech person” to use a phone, you don’t need to be a “gun person” to have adequate equipment and skills. And having them doesn’t make it the only option either.

Because the NRA and decades of right wing gun culture have convinced Americans that the 2A is about their right to own firearms.
The 2A very clearly is about the right for armed people to gather together and use violence to protect their communities.

Perhaps if you want to protect your own rights… you should have your own gun, and not depend on others to do it for you.
Senal@programming.dev 1 week ago
OK so, benefit of the doubt.
You know that statement wasnt asking for protection right?
Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 1 week ago
2nd amendment isn’t just for the 2nd amendment guys. Attacking gun rights when the left will likely need them in the coming years is short sighted.
To attempt satire by saying that a right wing facist advocating for gun rights, is also expected to advocate for my rights is weakness in the face of aggression.
The right doesn’t laugh at the satire, they laugh at you. You undermine your own defense with others on the left.
Senal@programming.dev 1 week ago
Ah, so you just picked a subject that was gun related but not actually related to the reply, to be angry about.
I suppose that could still be you missing the point accidentally i suppose.
OK, how about i lay out what was said, and you can see how your reply doesn’t relate to it at all.
This is the exact moment the 2nd amendment was meant for. Now behold ! Literally 0 of the 2nd amendment guys will do anything about it…
Translation:
The 2nd amendment people are loud about protecting their right to guns, a large part of which is the need for said guns to be available in the case of a corrupt government arising that would require armed resistance, a “well regulated militia” , so to speak.
And yet here we are with the government shooting civilians in the streets and the 2nd amendment people are nowhere to be seen.
So, let check you reply for relevance against the original statement:
2nd amendment isn’t just for the 2nd amendment guys. Attacking gun rights when the left will likely need them in the coming years is short sighted.
Nobody was attacking gun rights.
To attempt satire by saying that a right wing facist advocating for gun rights, is also expected to advocate for my rights is weakness in the face of aggression.
Nobody mentioned fascists or requiring anyone to advocate for anyone else’s rights.
The right doesn’t laugh at the satire, they laugh at you.
I’m not sure how this relates to either the original message you responded to, or your reply to it.
I will say however that a basic level of reading comprehension and good faith (the latter more than the former) would be required before i personally cared about someone’s opinion of me, laughter included.
You undermine your own defense with others on the left.
As we’ve established above, this is also unrelated.
Also, “anybody who doesn’t agree with me is a lefty” is a weak foundation for both conversation and understanding.

Who attacked gun rights? The guy making fun of hypocrites?
Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Wow, that is a long way to say 2nd amendment nutters support ICE.
Guns have always been the problem and have never been the solution.
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 week ago
One of them just did. This is what they think 2A is for: eliminating those they hate.
MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 week ago
2A assholes are the biggest pussies I ever hear yammering about their gun collection.

As “I did a thing” says, they’re just nerds. But they nerd about weapons that actually kill people, instead of anything cool or useful.
cheesybuddha@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Naw man, nerds don’t salivate hoping that someone will break into their house in the middle of the night so they can throw 20 sided dice at them.
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 week ago
And the nuts are usually total cowards living in fear.
There are responsible gun owners. In the IS you pretty much need one.
