such a funny time for this discourse again ☕
I don't believe in the horse shoe theory except when it comes to gun owners larping about rising up against the government.

Mostly left of center liberal here. I've got no problem with guns and folks using them safely and responsibly. Problem is, there is a whole shitton of assholes that can't even follow the first rule of firearm safety.
I like it this way, guns are a privilege NOT a right. Just like driving.

People might as well be talking about the right to bear Pokemon cards for all the difference guns seem to make.
Americans had one of the largest protests in history and police drove down suburban streets firing paintballs at people standing in their doorways.
People stop and upload content to Tiktok when citizens are abducted by masked men while a child cries for her mom.
We zombie walked into fascism and have camps being built and military being deployed to cities and do nothing after elections are rigged or a demagogue incites a coup.
Crazy how you can just drop weapons into the mix like fucking Zardoz and observe the same trends play out just with a lot more random violence. It's like putting Tapatio on everything. "Ah yes, multiculturalism is a fine topic. But what if everyone had guns?"
Lefties can have all the guns they want. The debate can be held unrestricted. AI driven drones will disperse any militia decisively.
It won't be done with militia. These guys are likely to just get Luigi'ed.
