    I thought that was hilarious given that she is known to carry and be proficient with a pistol, and Trump has never held a gun in his life.

      The issue is that the dems won’t drop their gun control rhetoric, even with a huge portion of their base becoming armed and fascist literally killing people. I don’t give a shit that Harris own or fired a gun. I give a shit that they’ve not woken up to the realization that gun owners aren’t just maga chodes larping as nazis. They need to drop the anti-gun shit and actually focus on what needs to be done to correct our move towards full blown dictatorship.

      I’ve said it a million times. Dems would sweep elections and destroy the GOP if they dropped their anti-2a bullshit.

        What dem has come out and said they want to take away 2a? The vast majority of dem proposed gun regulations are not anti 2a. Gun regulation isn’t anti 2a

          Gun regulations are anti-2a, almost all gun regulations will not curb our violence or gun deaths in this country. Almost all gun regulations are designed to limit the access of minorities and oppressed groups to arm themselves.

          It takes half a second of googling to pull up links like this. Yes it’s not a platform they run on but to act like that’s not the end goal of a ton of dems is being naive at best and willfully lying at worse. The Democratic party’s end goal is to make it so, basically the rich are all that own firearms in the end.

        Isn’t the reason the 2a is so sacred is to be a check on the kind of authoritarian take over already in progress ? All those school kids were murdered so that access to firearms could continue to be unhindered so something could be done to correct your move towards full blown dictatorship?

          The fascist are the ones who are heavily armed. On top of that, we’re not at the start a civil war yet. We’re at the ballot box right now, midterms will determine if we move to the next box.

            Project 2025 creator or whoever said the second civil war we’ll be blooess if the left allows it. And so far he seems correct.

            Fascism can’t be voted out anymore than it was voted in. Continued support for the parties that have enabled it will allow it to continue growing. .

        Their goal has never been to win against Republicans but act as a buffer between the working class and the ruling class, acting in the interests of the ruling class

        Who are you going to shoot to bring our democracy back, Rambo?

        The 2nd should be repealed. Kids getting murdered in school isn’t a fair price to pay so that gun fetishists can indulge their fantasies.

          And this is the exact shit I’m talking about. Your whataboutism doesn’t negate anything I’m saying. It just furthers people who are single issue voters into the hands of the maga chodes because they’re saying “no we’re not going to take the guns” while you spout shit like “repeal the 2nd”.

            What’s the point of having the 2nd amendment if it leads to kids being killed, but it’s not used to stop the fascists taking over the country?

              You know more children die drowning in pools each year than have been killed via school shootings in the last 10 years combined? Let’s stop acting like the reason you want the firearms gone is because of the kids.
