    Bought a gun. Have used them plenty, never figured I’d own one. Political violence by the American right is too commonplace. This administration is sweeping people off the street without due process. I’ve read history books. Might as well buy it and not need it than need it and not have it is how I feel.

    And to anyone thinking about buying a gun who has never fired one, take a safety course and try it out first.

      The American Right (the fascists) and Left (the communists) have both done this, not just the Right. Extremist voters on both sides of the aisle are used by higher interests to stoke chaos and division. You can thank Rome for doing that perfectly.

      I do agree on the safety course before buying a gun, though.

        The amount of violence perpetrated by the American Right is statistically significant in recent years. The opposite is not as significant.

        That said, of course I agree it’s the rich vs us.
