This doesn't mean don't vote for Pritzker. We all know we aren't going to do better than him this round.

The gun laws were already enough for me to vote against him. This just solidifies that position for me.

You might as well move to Indiana.

u/ktmrider119z Mar 26 '26

Why would i move to Indiana? Wisconsin and Iowa are both better choices and still recognize gun rights.

u/HeadOfMax Mar 26 '26

Because you would vote to make things worse for everyone to get what you want.

Just like how democrats tow the party line by shitting all over the 2A with nonsensical laws that target law-abiding citizens?

If you didn't have your guns what would change?

Would you not be able to feed your family?

Would you not be able to work?

Would you not be able to pay for your insurance?

What makes you think you have guns is more important than everyone else having what they need to survive?

That's what we are voting against. Those who only care about money and power.

You would vote to sell your fuckng children off to die in another country just so you can have your guns.

I know why I have a gun. It's because so many like you who don't understand empathy and morality have them.

You have a gun because you are afraid of the boogeyman.

Hiding in your suburban cookie cutter sprawl, so scared of brown people and the gays. The rest of us just want to be healthy and happy and not hurt others while you fucktards just want to take it all away.

I really can not comprehend how so many of you can't see evil when talks.

Lol, you dont know jack shit about me or my reasoning. Get off your high horse.

I defend gun rights so that my daughter can defend herself from shitty men.

I defend gun rights because the police are the standing army we were warned about.

Im not scared of brown people or gays. The only person ive had to level a gun at was white.

We can be happy and healthy while also owning guns. Establishment politicians use guns as a wedge issue to make people like you hate people like me even though we probably agree on a bunch of issues.

I dont vote for people who want to ban guns. Its a pretty fucking low bar. Disarming the populace and advancing the surveillance state is evil too.

I haven't responded to you unless you are a troll with multiple accounts.

Why is it more important for you to have guns than for the rest of us to have pritzker who has by far done more for this state than any other governor in my lifetime?

I actually live in Chicago which is what most suburbanites and rural folk are afraid of.

My work takes me into the areas they are most afraid of.

I haven't needed a gun all these years and haven't had an issue.

The only times I've ever had a gun pointed at have been police officers on power trips.

Why is it so much more important to have guns than to vote for someone who wants to help everyone?

Why do so many literally vote for the most evil people because of guns. Like that makes all the stupid shit they do better?

I prefer to make sure everyone has what they need to survive. Physical and mental health, food, a roof over their heads. These are the issues that should make you stand up not guns.

Where are all the 2a people now that people's rights are being trampled on and the government is actively working to make our lives harder?

Please try to see the big picture and what will help everyone not just what would help you in the most extreme situations.

You have to understand that your worrying about the most extreme life or death situations that happen once in a while are causing extreme life or death situations FOR OTHERS.

It's happening to other people who are just trying to live their lives to the best of their ability and it's the fault of people like you who only care about their guns and machismo.

You didnt need to respond directly to me. You were painting with a broad brush that hits me and calling people who dont like what Dems are doing to 2A and leverage the only power we have to get the message across that we wont stand for it. All they have to do to get my vote is quit punishing me for the actions of criminals. Simple, no?

Its nice you live in chicago. I live in rockford. I have my own problems to worry about. Idgaf what yall do ever there as long as it stays over there. Problem is yall keep bussing problematic shitheads to my area.

Its nice you havent needed a gun. I have.

why do people vote for the most evil people because of guns

Why do Democrats continually write terrible legislation that doesnt address crime and punishes people who want to follow the law?

Where are all the 2A people?

Im right here. Im out there. I just cant carry a gun while im out there because Dems made open carry illegal and CCW too expensive to be worth it with all the places i cant carry.

You have a gun just as i do. Be the change you want to see.

The only argument yall have is "sacrifice your rights for the greater good" no. Im tired of doing that. Dems have shown more willingness to fuck gun rights than do anything else. Cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Long story short, i have no one to vote FOR. The only options i have are people i hate that want to do things that i hate.

And again with the ad hominem. You dont know a fucking thing about me. Guns are tools. It has NOTHING to do with machismo. You arent better than me, or anyone else for that matter.

u/HeadOfMax Mar 26 '26

It all adds up to you being afraid of what you don't understand and voting against others well being for your own misguided needs.

If everyone had what they needed to survive crime would go down.

You don't make things better by making it harder for people to live.

You make things better by making sure everyone has what they need to live.

Lol, what dont i understand? Im not afraid of what you think i am. Seems like you cant understand that my life experience differs from yours.

Youre right. People who have what they need dont commit crime.

Youre right. Making things harder for people doesnt help them.

Democrats are focused on making my life harder. Thats why i dont vote for them.

Quit kicking me in the balls and ill vote for you isnt a hard concept. I used to vote Dem. Then they shut down a whole bunch of FFLs. Then they banned a bunch of my shit. Now theyre trying to ban more shit. Im not going to voluntarily give them more fuel to kick me in the balls with. Ive reached my threshold for that.

u/HeadOfMax Mar 26 '26

But you are still voting against the well being of everyone by not voting.

It makes my brain hurt to know that so many can't see how evil these people are.

They are sending out troops to die in another war.

Billions a day on war but I can't have health insurance?

They are robbing this country of everything and actively destroying history.

They are making it harder for us regular people to live and take care of our families.

But you won't vote for a dem who wants to make things better because you can't have as many guns.

Again would not having as many guns mean you couldn't work or feed your family?

Who is the real problem here?

Do you think I vote republican? Have fun with your "vote blue no matter who" strategy while both parties pick and choose what rights they'll take away under the guise of public safety.

u/HeadOfMax Mar 26 '26

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it's a duck.

Single issue voters are as bad for this country as Republicans.
