    He’s right, you know. If you own an AR you shouldn’t slack on practice. Go to the gun range regularly. Train how to clean and maintain it. You may one day be facing people who are well trained.

    Why are we punching a strawman made out of a 7 year old tweet? Get something more current of his to spit on.

    Not even getting into how this can more squarely be aimed at conservatives who profess to love the cops and love the troops, but love the 2nd just as much. The article specifically about defending yourself from troops and cops.

      It does represent the dichotomy of Democrats complaining about 2a when they are in control but people realizing its importance when the repression they commit abroad comes home.

    Is that even happening? Considered US police and various letter agencies are basically at the level of open warfare against the population i would imagine population of such a liberty loving country would fight back…

    Democrats will happily disarm everyone and hand the keys to the nation to the Republicans. The recent exhaltation of David Hogg in the party is proof. Not even January 6th 2021 will change their minds, they will never stop their anti gun crusade.

    The justice system is not meant to protect us as we can all plainly see. We are on our own.

    Oh right! Guess I should just let cops and military do whatever they want because they have the special American pass.

    Oh yeah the very nice police force that has absolutely not been systematically trained to shoot first and ask questions later when things go south?

    Yeah no shit buddy. It’s come to that point. I like you Pete, but don’t bury your head in the sand on this one. American soldiers defend fascism.

    Of course this is what it means. The people who wrote down this existing right had done the same to their equivalents. It’s not a fantasy.
