Do you know anyone obsessed with home invasion? (hexbear.net)

Every chud in my life is obsessed with someone breaking into their house and the situation being resolved with the discharge of a firearm. And these are people living in low crime areas out in the suburbs, with no pedestrians. It's frustrating to talk with these people since their whole worldview is a racist panic over some imagined brown interloper invading their white fortresses.

One of my coworkers tells me he always pulls out his Glock to check the corners when he comes home in the evening. Another has a CCTV system and an AR15 by his bed. I personally don't own a gun anymore because I don't trust myself with one, and chuds will ask me what I'll do if some mentally unwell person high on amphetamines decided to enter my apartment. I guess I'd leave or call an ambulance? It seems so unlikely of a scenario that even if I had a firearm I probably wouldn't use it right, or even register this person as a threat quickly enough to do a John Wick style takedown.

How many home invasions are actually stopped this way? Do chuds all think they're Robocop?

i am non-straight in an american suburb, i wish i had a gun, not for 'home invaders' or 'druggies' but to give the local neo-nazi groups (there are several nazi groups where i live, expecially traditional catholic youth workers party or some shit has buildings everywhere in a nearby city) and cops (same picture i know) something to consider if they start thinking about rounding up the gays and leftists. i've had transphobic marches outside the gas station convenience store my friends work at. other of their coworkers have had stalker problems. i personally have several ex-friends who turned out to be abusers that i cut off contact with, and i worry one of them will come after me someday after something doesn't go right for them.

i don't think i'd be john wick though, i just want to take one with me and put the fear of death into the nazis or cops if they come after me, give them a reason to hesitate at the next door they kick in.

Yeah I want my queer comrades in America to immediately get armed, if they're comfortable with having a gun around. It's fucked how confident fascists have gotten and all of them are aware the cops will do nothing against them.

I hope you can stay safe. Times are bad right now

Democrats are such a pathetic group of people. They know that the people they have deemed as fascists are armed to the teeth, and they make 0 efforts to encourage a healthier gun ownership culture for their base. Literally just tell them to call the cops. I hate liberals but I rather be next to one at a gun range than someone guy a targeted-ad blue lives matter tshirt
