    “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” —Frank Wilhoit

    Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.

    If republicans come to lynch you, wont you just call the cops and they will protect you? I’ve been told by anti gun zealots that it is the plan after they get the gun bans they lust after.

    We are on our own, the government wont be there for us in our darkest hour. you would be lucky its not the government itself that is after you honestly.

    I know its scarey to think about, but such is the facts of life of the world we live in. Work with people in your community to protect each other. Its all thats left.

    I’d be a hypocrite to say I don’t think the same thing about them. This is what you call the polarization period and normalization of violent rhetoric in times leading to civil strife.

    This is beyond insane child rapists and fucking eminent threats to everyday Americans. This is a declaration of intent to murder.

        MUCH worse.

        Contrary to Hasbara gaslighting, Hamas are mostly untrained civilians and extremely under equipped volunteer soldiers fighting against the oppression and wanton slaughter of one of the most advanced, powerful and numerous militaries in the world.

        Israel could create a peaceful one state solution within a year if they wanted to. They have that power, but they’ve been actively choosing not to exercise it for 80 years.

          They don’t want to because they see Palestinians as less than animals. Israel is basically the nazis now.

        Yeah, I don’t get it. I thought the Bluesky people loved to explain “lesser evil voting”. Odd.

    Hasn’t the right already been killing those that they deem that are on the left? A couple were shot in Minneapolis and a girl and a protester were shot in Texas, not to mention assorted mass shootings by right wingers. There doesn’t seem to be any consequences either.

      As a gun owner and former small arms instructor, like… I’m happy, but I also feel like I got isekai’ed when I see fellow left sided folks imply that privately owned guns aren’t basically the equivalent of the One Ring. They are simply a tool which bestows the ABILITY to use violence at a distance. What you choose to do with that ability is entirely up to the holder. A sword can be used as a shield as well, but a shield cannot be used as a sword if needed

        I’ve never been on the “ban all guns” side of the argument. I’ve had access to them since I was 10 and was a line coach when I was in the Navy. I’m just glad to see some of us on the left start to get it.

      It is worth reporting on, as the Admin ramps up violent rhetoric and tries to lie about the left being terrorists.

      It might open normie’s eyes to the hypocrisy.

        I’m pretty sure the Murc’s Law Media will run cover and talk about Kirk or that CEO that got shot by Luigi.

        As if those things are in any way the same thing.

        But then this is the same media that continues to mostly downplay the day of terror and attempted coup that donnie led - which we call J6 now.

          And Ice has murdered how many Americans in the street for no reason? Or all the people who died in Ice custody, El Salvador or as a consequence of deportation of which we will only have partial knowledge?

          Republicans do not care.

    Republikkkans want to plant the seeds without opening calling for mass shootings so that when it does happen they can say they never TOLD them to do it. All while secretly smiling and laughing and egging the morons on.

    I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters.
