    Liberals need to start buying guns. They’ve spent decades disarming themselves, but now we’ve got fascists co trolling the government, and their supporters have 90% of the guns.

    Guns seem evil until you need them, and there’s a very real chance that day is coming soon.

      Yes. But…

      1. In the context of a protest, using guns is the most extreme escalation. You start shooting at cops, cops start shooting at you, and most likely everyone around you. It’s an option but it requires restraint.
      2. Not everyone is mentally, legally, or financially able to take that burden on.

        Using guns is escalation but showing guns can keep people safe when there’s nazis about.
