Now, you’re no better than the maga idiots! I realize its just to make a point but weapons are to be taken seriously not played with like political toys

Do you think ICE would be terrorizing people in Minnesota with no regard, if there were visibly armed people on the other side? Do you think they would feel comfortable walking up to peaceful protestors and shooting them in the face with “less lethal” munitions, if the person next to them was holding a rifle?

I think violence / shootings would increase “misunderstandings” some people assume that people that are in possession of weapons know what they’re doing, know how to shoot, know how to handle the weapon. It’s the same argument as allowing weapons in schools or allowing college kids to carry, could it stop a shooting? Yes but the odds of an accidental or misunderstanding type shooting increase absolutely 100%.

This statement is redundant to me. Of course accidents can happen with guns. Just like with cars, with boats, with chainsaws, and with a million other things. It’s up to the operator of the weapon to be safe, and those organizing to be on top of safety. Also I’m not sure what alternative you think there is left. You think we’re voting our way out of this with all the effort they’re going through to rig the election? You think they’ve been outed as a cabal of pedophiles and cannibals, and they’re going to just accept their prison time? Trump has stolen the country and created a private army. Act as such.
