    Where the fuck are all your dedicated gun nut independents?

    Everywhere, in plain sight, not talking about it on heavily surveiled social media.

      Not doing anything. I don’t want a status report, I just don’t believe that this huge group of tyranny-resistors is actually there and none of them are organizing shows of force to put the government on notice, but that you’re all just waiting for something more serious to actually decide it’s time for the well regulated militia to hit the streets. Maybe you’ll be out there when the shooting war actually starts, but I’m not even confident in that.

        What are you doing? Why do you think owning a gun obligates anyone to put themselves in the Trump regime’s crosshairs?

          It’s their whole excuse for why protecting their hobby is important. When it matters they’ll convert from fetishists to patriots. They finally have their chance to prove that all the dead children was worth it. If that’s not happening then their deadly hobby is just a hobby, to be regulated and restricted like drag racing or fireworks.

            You seem to be under the impression that gun owners are a monolith. There are lots of leftist gun owners you never see because they keep it on the down low.

              No I’m not, and that’s the whole point. Most right-wing gun owners are just hobbyists too, but some bleeding edge of them showed up when their side declared “tyranny” was afoot (aka vaccine requirements or woke schoolboards). If there’s some deep well of good guy gun owners that will (some day) make all the dead kids worth it, you’d expect some bleeding edge to be showing the colors, declaring the stakes, and putting the government on notice.
