So, lets say we get to August or some summer month, and 4,000,000 people are protesting right out front the white house.

Do they send in the tanks? Do they kill 1,000,000 people? Would republican civilians see empathy for the dead americans who were democrats? Or would it unite the nation like 9/11 did, except this time against the government?

    You’re clearly just reiterating your belief in gun ownership and not addressing anything. “Buying a gun” is the tankie version of libs saying “go vote”. Solves nothing, they say it will fix everything. Might help in a very niche scenario that nobody disputes but is so ridiculously overprescribed as to be a useless platitude.

    If you’re actively hunting notable fascists that’s totally different than just “buying a gun”. That is a very specific type of gun use and like the kirk shooting was somewhat tragic because the kid that shot him will be going to prison. He bartered a lot more than a few bucks for that outcome.

    If like a couple dozen people started doing that the fascist movement would likely lose most its notable members in a year.

      Where did I say that it would “fix everything?” Weren’t you just complaining about “mischaracterizing arguments” (which I never did)?

      Again, you’re just looking for reasons to attack me for no reason. No idea what crawled up your ass but it has nothing to do with anything I’ve actually said.

        You said the magic platitude. If somebody put “go vote” at the bottom of the kent state shooting I would also have issues.

          So I’m not allowed to tell anyone to do anything if that one thing doesn’t magically fix all the problems in the world?

            If its a stupid platitude and you’re writing an otherwise good post about kent state, yes.

            Let things be complex. You don’t need to prescribe gun ownership after fucking kent state. You don’t need to tell people to go vote, either. Its so fucking dumb.

              That’s stupid. If I went into sufficient depth to satisfy you (and only you, btw), nobody would read it because of the length.

              I’ve addressed all your objections and each time you just invent some new bullshit to try to justify why you got all pissy in the first place. Just fuck off already.

                You never addressed my first post. You literally did a “how you train with gun without buy guy” gotcha thing then just never addressed it. You still havent addressed it, truth be told.

                So again, you’re just responding to shit. Its not even new bullshit. I’m just saying the same thing over and over again in different ways. “Buy a gun” is an overprescribed oversimplified conclusion and the reason you didn’t connect it to kent state is not because it would be “boring” but because its trite “go out and vote” type bullshit.

                  Man, fuck off. Like you didn’t make shit up over an over, that whole “1776” line, get the fuck out. Just drop it. Reply again and I’ll block you.

                    “buy a gun” is the 1776 line. You can’t really think that offering the same exact advice as fascists is actually effective, do you?

                    Go ahead and block me. Imagine the kind of trite bullshit I’ll miss out on.
