    The left really needs to get over their weapon aversion. There’s no alternative anymore.

        I am not American. And the overwhelming majority of those 500 million weapons are with people that think Trump’s fascist America is cool.

        Im broadly anti gun but i have reasoning and am not blind to their purpose.

        The reality right now is that those weapons aren’t going anywhere, everything is heating up and nobody (including, increasingly, law enforcement) can be arbitrarily trusted.

        So yes, as a last ditch hail mary attempt at self defense i’d recommend arming yourself because that is where the US is at.

      That’s liberals that don’t want people armed, mostly because they don’t like not being in control. Leftists are usually already armed.
