The semi-automatic weapon in the 38-year-old’s hand is the first he has ever owned.
Change a couple words in here…..’left’ to ‘right’, ‘Donald Trump’ to ‘Barack Obama’, and you have pretty much the situation from almost twenty years ago. And you were called a right-wing, racist, militia-wannabe.
When you do it, it’s ‘reactionary’ and ‘paranoid’….but when the other side does it, it’s a different story.
Here’s the money shot: both sides said the exact same thing – I’m doing this because I don’t trust my government and I want to be able to protect myself from them.
Funny, you’d think that sort of thing would be something that could unite, or at least bridge some differences between, the two sides. The irony is pretty pronounced.
“There is a specific concern about a kind of tyrannical, authoritarian government, possibly depriving people of their rights, …”
The irony of the Richmond Va location and the closing statement are not lost on a Virginian who just witnessed sweeping “gun control” laws passed by a leftist state legislature and governor.
Some of the most draconian gun laws were passed under President Reagan and Bush Sr.
These communists are the ones who scoffed at the patriots , saying how you gonna fight the military. They won’t use their small arms against the government, they will use them against us. Once they start , they will find they bit off more than they chew. A pistol and a box of ammo won’t last long.
Nice to hear that some of the left is waking up. Government has always been the biggest threat to our liberties.
Why would you want your enemies armed or do you think once they have a gun they will turn into good guys…
Both sides have a common enemy that must be restrained.
The enemy of my enemies doesn’t mean they are on my side in any way so I would prefer them to remain ignorant on firearms…
Commander:
I really, REALLY hope I’m wrong but things are ramping up to a level not seen since the last civil war.
This one would be far worse.
As in the last conflict, troops and politicians will pick sides –
This time they have nukes…
what a fucking joke >>> just the stupid azz paranoid queers ….
making it sound like there’s a justification there only makes you as stupid & ignorant as they are …..
that bunch of ANTIFAs arrested in TX for their July 4th attack attempt on ICE >>> allllllllll queers to the max – 3-4 were trans …….
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely” – the current President just extended the FISA warrants for 10 days, just as they were approaching the sunset clause and about to be ended. But wait, wasn’t it FISA warrants that caused the current President all those “Russia collusion” problems in 2016? Wouldn’t ya think he’d have said “Good riddance”?
inspired by Ceejay’s comment: General Sherman surveys the wreckage left behind CW-II, takes a breath, and murmurs, “Daaayyyuuummmm!”
People see left or right, liberal or conservative, red or blue. All I see is a bunch of selfish, short-sighted people who have fallen for the oldest trick in the book, divide and conquer.
