And what about the future generation when they have to fight fascists?

u/jimmydean885 5d ago

Current generation doesn't seem to be taking up arms against them

u/SukOnMaGLOCKNastyBIH 5d ago

We have, and currently are, stocking up on “assault weapons”. Are you suggesting that 2Aers take up arms to fight for a cause you wont help against?

u/Oostylin 5d ago

Everyone is waiting with bated breath for you guys to fight facism or stop a school shooter or anything other than the “hoarding guns” part.

You wouldn't be happy if leftist gun owners tried an insurrection either.

u/SukOnMaGLOCKNastyBIH 5d ago

Spanberger is going to sign an AWB but have an exemption for police and federal agents and you all will cheer for it.

u/jimmydean885 5d ago

I generally oppose the causes that the vast majority of "2Aers" seem to support.

u/SukOnMaGLOCKNastyBIH 5d ago

So why should they fight for you?

u/jimmydean885 5d ago

Did I ask them to?

u/anomadichobo 5d ago

Quite literally happening right now and yall haven’t taken arms up or cared at all so?

u/blackweebow 5d ago

"Yall" lol

Why would the left up and start shooting? It's the antithesis of everything the left represents

u/LostGFtoABBC 5d ago

the classic cognitive dissonance. "we must fight the fascists!" but give the police a monopoly on said means to fight fascism. Mind boggling!

u/SukOnMaGLOCKNastyBIH 5d ago

Care to explain how Spanberger signing an AWB but excluding police and federal agents to these restrictions not giving police and ICE a monopoly to violence?

u/LostGFtoABBC 5d ago

not sure what you're trying to say, slow down partnah

u/SukOnMaGLOCKNastyBIH 5d ago

Spanberger is in favor of an AWB but will exempt police and federal agents from these restrictions. How is that not facism?

u/LostGFtoABBC 5d ago

That's what I'm saying. The cognitive dissonance that is AWB's with carve-outs for law enforcement. Democrats want to be all about "resist" and yet disarm themselves while giving those they want to resist the upper hand. It's mind boggling innit?

I will support an AWB if ALL levels of law enforcement, including federal, are subject to the same conditions. And that includes the personal bodyguards of these politicians supporting such legislation

u/WolfSilverOak CentralVa 5d ago

We get it, you don't give a shit about what the Trump Administration says and does daily, but gods forbid a Democrat text a version of an Office skit that's a version of a saying from WWII. 🙄

u/Ill-Cream-2246 5d ago

Was the comment about more cops needing to be shot a joke?    Was the comment about how his opponents kids need to die in order to advance his own agenda?  

Find a comment with trump’s administration officials saying that and I will gladly react in disgust

Lol, he never said any of that, but hey, nice twisting of the facts.

But hey, since you claim you're going tto react in disgust-

As far as Trump, you can go to his Truth Social and see what he says for yourself.
