    Jesus christ, how many times does this need to be spelled out?

    There are people who agree that guns are bad and they are disarming themselves. There are people who disagree and are arming themselves. It just so happens they also support the current govt.

    If you could go back 40 years ago and change so many things, sure taking guns away seems like a good call. It is not to anyone that actually understands reality.

        In 2022 every ideologically driven mass killing in the U.S. was carried out by the far right with an overwhelming number being carried out by white supremacists. In 2025 to date, every ideologically driven mass killing has been from the far right (this is no different than 2024, I have not looked at 2023 but I’m willing to bet the answer is the same). School shooters are overwhelmingly conservative.

        You’re right about them being cowards, you’re wrong about them being unwilling to use them. You’re right that there won’t be revolutions, there will be massacres. They are waiting for the green light from their overlords that allows them to, legally, kill you.

                I’m sorry, I must be living in a schziophrenic delusion and the U.S. federal govt hasn’t been slip and sliding into the deep end of the fascism pool and definitely hasn’t been dumping resources and manpower (MAGA, let’s be honest with each other - ICE is MAGA) into ICE. Thank God, that would be horrifying!

                    I’m talking about my cousin. He runs a grocery store (he claims he owns it, but really he leases it through Grocery Outlet).

                    I know some of the things he’s done. I know many of the things he’s said. They are terrifying.
