It’s the second military zone the Trump administration has created at the border, following one on the New Mexico-Mexico border, where a group of migrants were arrested on Monday.

    Cool story.

    So anyways, when a country starts allowing fascism to creep in, and the “leader” is openly defying that nation’s Constitution, it benefits citizens to arm themselves to the teeth.

    I am not, in any way, a gun person. I simply HAVE to be under the circumstances presenting themselves.

    And under those circumstances it is better to have than have not.

      Abstractly, sure. And then there’s a romantic struggle between Freedom and Tyranny with lots of drama and adventure. Maybe a bit of romance thrown in for color. Big climactic action sequence. Denouement. Roll credits.

      Who are you pointing your guns at? How many times have you pulled the trigger?

      You’re not a gun person. This isn’t the statement of a “gun person” it’s the statement of a person in the full grip of delusional power fantasy. You don’t understand what it means to use a weapon in self-defense, much less the consequences of actually trying to take a life for any reason much less one as abstract as “People Are Taking My Freedoms!”
