You don't want this. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] StarryPhoenix97@lemmy.world 16 points 3 months ago (1 child) This is the way. Get armed. Not because you want to enact violence but because you want to protect yourself and eventually they will find some trumped up reason to take away gun or ammo rights. You don't by a sword to become a highway man. You do it because there are already highway men with swords. It's a form of power. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] innermachine@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago I actually know a few "lefties" that thought guns are stupid killing machines and nobody should have them years ago. After the first trump administration they all took an about face and are now pro gun and think we should all be armed. Our government should live in fear of us. They are there to serve and protect us, and we are the ones feeding them to make it possible. Instead they take our money and give socialism to their billionaire buddies corporations or send it to Israel or bomb random countries. We should not live in fear of our authoritarian regime, it's time to turn the tables. Don't tread on our freedom 🇺🇸 and don't tread on sovereign nations because u want their resources. Time the USA pulls itself up from the bootstraps instead of taking from countries that don't have the bloated military budgets to defend themselves. permalink fedilink source parent
