    And we can’t go after the guns because patriots are going to use them in case the government ever starts doing tyrannical things like grabbing people off the streets without due process, killing protesters, breaking into houses without warrants, or threatening the voting system.

    If any of that happens sometime in the future the good ol’ boys will be ready to protect the Constitution and we’ll understand that all the dead kids were worth it.

          So they’re saying we should go after guns because patriots aren’t doing that, which is why I called them a troll, because they’re wrong. Patriots are doing that.

            they were saying that the “patriots” (so maga, not actual patriots) are claiming that they would step in and stop tyranny, but are actually doing the opposite.

            and them claiming that that’s the reason they need their guns is the most prominent reason that constantly comes up in discussions about gun control. which is true.

            so they are saying that particular argument is utter bullshit, and that gun reform should disregard that argument.

            and gun reform/gun control doesn’t mean nobody can have guns.

            it just means stricter rules on who can have them. which, yes, is a necessary legislation that every civilized country already has.

              And I’m saying that’s all bullshit, because actual patriots (not maga) ARE stepping up and using the second amendment for what it was made for. Anyone talking gun control right now is a fucking fascist masquerading as a liberal because they’re scared that people are arming themselves to protect their neighborhoods.

                  We don’t need dead kids to keep the 2nd amendment strong. Thats a misconception. Gun control is a bandaid, not a real solution to the root problem of violence in this country. And if you think absolutely nothing is happening, you’re either lying or not paying attention. Nice try faschy.
