All the people with 100 ak47s joined ICE

Don't be an American. Don't understand nuance in the country. Make broad, sweeping generalizations. Condemn all Americans.

Gun ownership is disparate. While the mean is 1.2 guns per American the median is 0. gun owners tend to own many guns. 68% of Americans don’t own a gun at all per pew research, and about 20% of American gun owners own 65-70% of all guns.

Guns McGee, who has a bed made of 10,000 AK-47s with 20 more hidden underneath it, is a statistical outlier and should not have been counted.

The average American owns roughly 1.5 guns, with 40-50% of all households owning at least one gun. Of those households, those who own 2 or more guns account for about 89% of all guns in the US. (Fucking absurd)

Too bad the half of Americans with too many guns and not enough common sense are the ones who love fascism. Of course, if they had more common sense, they'd probably have less guns. A real catch-22 there...

It's because we're all educated enough to have seen similar uprisings fail unless we can gain more support. With times getting hard, Republican voters are starting to turn on their masters.

Also, last year there were votes (plural) where every single Republican voted to keep the Epstein Files sealed and every single Democrat voted to release them to the public. It's pretty wild to claim "every government official".

It has always been a fantasy - pushed by gun manufacturers/sellers and believed by people who like to fantasize but are unwilling to uproot their lives to actually do it.

"Every government official" is outed as a child rapist? This kind of ridiculous hyperbole doesn't help one's argument.

All of the gun owners will rise up, but they will stand on the side of tyranny.

Realistically only a small percentage of gun owners have that kind of weaponry.

I own guns and have a surplus of ammo. Probably wouldn't be enough to last more than 5 minutes in a fire fight. Which is not all that useful, especially when this country's military doctrine is to send as many bullets at the enemy as possible

Taking the guns out lowers their resell value!

There is a basic conflict between freedom of speech and democracy. As long as people's sources of news and information are permitted to lie and spread misinformation and disinformation, citizens will be unable to make informed decisions.

It was never gonna happen, even if people believed it.

You want to fight authoritarianism? Be an example of disobedience. Violence activates authoritarian followers against you 100% of the time, but an act of defiance gives courage to people who would be your allies. Most people don't know how to defy authority, are taught not to. They need to be the second one to do it. It gets easier with practise, but it's hard to be the first one.

yeah but that’s different. because the people they’re going after are BROWN. So it’s completely different. we can’t have brown people just like running around enjoying their lives, now can we?

Just having guns around wont ward off authoritarians like Homer Simpson's anti tiger rock. You actually need to exercise it to work.

The republicans have no interest in doing something against ICE or Trump. Because they do something against the brown people and the woke people. They view them as subhuman and want them gone. When they get weapons now and fight the government, they fight the values of the right and hence themselves. It‘s us versus them for those people.
