    Owning and carrying guns is not for overthrowing the government. That’s absurd. It is however very profitable to convince people that’s the case if you happen to be selling guns.

      Ain’t that what the 2A is for?

        The Americans go on about their “god given 2A rights” but when there’s an actual tyrant in the White House, they’re nowhere to be seen.

          I think we’re at three that have been seen, aren’t we? And considering the difficulty for a person who has been significantly affected by the current bullshit (I’m not saying that there aren’t a lot of people affected) to even get an approach…

          The rich, which in this case includes even middle class and the upper tiers of ‘the poors,’ are going to be focusing on holding on to what they have, or coasting along with what they have. They haven’t missed three hot meals yet.
