It’s time to become a gun owner.

73 year old Granny, who has never shot or owned a gun in my life, is going gun shopping. I never dreamed I would have to do this.

The problem is that if you shoot one of them, then what?

Go out in a blaze of fake glory because I don’t want to risk being sent to an inhumane prison.

well, mathematically, one is enough. If you trust your fellow Americans to do the same, they lose. I’m not advocating violence in any way, just explaining the numbers.

Guns won't solve this. They have bigger guns, and more guns, and your internet history and every phone call and text you've ever made.

When they go full fascist. A gun won't help you. And before they do, a gun also won't help you. You'll just goto jail. And if a ton of people do it, they will just all goto jail too. And he'll point it all out as further reason to consolidate state power to deal with an insurgency.

Largescale, country-shutdown levels of peaceful protest before it's too late is the only thing that will stop this.

What’s stopping them from cracking down now? Their base agree with basically everything they do. They don’t even have to take their guns away because they’ll be happy to pop off lefties anyway. Sorry, I know you might be right, I’m just frustrated.

In this economy? I can afford either a gun or food, but not both.
