      No no. You do it for the statistics.

      When the black panthers started getting guns, they got gun reform laws up real quick.

      Now imagine every LGBTetc individual getting a gun, it shows up in the Republican Excel sheets. They start getting scared and invent new laws to make it harder.

      If/When you buy the gun, you disassemble it and store it in a certified gun safe. This way when they storm your apartment and kill your because “you had a gun” it’s a fuck lot harder for them to plant a gun on you.

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

    I didnt think feeling safe was why liberals where buying guns. I thought it was to make oppressors and aggressors feel less safe.

      Guns are literally an oppressive force. The second amendment people are ready to kill those who try to stop ICE or change the government in a way they don’t like. Their threat is literally murder, but sure more guns will solve this problem.

          Semantics. There are more guns in the US than people in the US. Guns are an oppressive force themselves in these extreme circumstances.

          No different than having land mines all over at this point. People die needlessly due to proliferation thus creating an oppressive force without 2nd amendment gun nutters.

    It’s not going to make you safer. Best you can hope for is to take some of the motherfuckers with you when they come for you.

    This meme assumes liberals, or the left broadly construed, view guns in the same way.

    Conservatives want to bring their AR-15 into Burger King, because they view guns as a sort of magic totem of protection.

    Of the left gun owners I know, liberals, Anarchists, Marxists, etc. They have a far more grounded view of guns, and see them much more for the tool that they are.

    Eh.

    I’m a liberal and I’m getting one because the writing on the wall indicates our democracy is coming to an end and things are about to get a whole lot less safe.

    Well history says the states started to have more gun laws after the black panthers, so maybe this is the way to get gun control in pacific non violent way.

    yeah its amazing to me that the country with more guns than people is as of late surging to get more guns. the craziest part is, its really hard to blame the leftists for this conclusion, given the context.

    How does this meme have so many upvotes while every response to it is in opposition of it?

    I’ve always been of the belief that more guns cause more death, and I still hold that belief.

    However, the last decade has proven to me that this country is far too stupid to maintain a democracy so, unfortunately, the guns are necessary, because things are about to get a whole lot sketchier in this nation. And as things degrade, I need protection, particularly from low IQ aggressive conservatives.
