He cited, as supposed evidence, the decline of national church attendance and the rise of LGBTQ youth — the fact, Johnson lamented, that “one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight.”
That is exactly Tuberville’s plan
Y’all armed up, right?
In a country where there are 410m+ guns and 330m people I can’t endorse the ‘go get a gun’ theory of democratic government. Yes, people should defend themselves, but damn, adding shit-tons more guns doesn’t seem like a solution. Massive respect for John Brown gun clubs and the like, but (prior service army) I recoil at the fetishization of firearms as a ‘culture’ of anything but more gun violence killing kids and other innocents.
edit: sorry about your cows.

a firearm per person should be enough for that. A NINETY MILLION FIREARM SURPLUS isn’t necessary to become ungovernable. It’s become ungovernable in a civil society.
come on, tell me you don’t have one shirt, one hat, some piece of FLAIR that has an AR silhouette on it?
COME ON. Don’t lie. You act like it’s patriotism and there’s something very sick going on there.
You wouldn’t defend it otherwise.
Hey man, it’s nerdy, it’s like how some camgirls have a dildo collection, it’s culture for people with money to spare and little time to invest
bet those dildos get used by someone with proficiency and an eye toward safety.
Unlike firearms.
Actually it’s Marxism, not patriotism. And no I dont fetish guns; I’ve lost some people to them. I just know what happens when everyone just sits around grumbling while fascism takes over. Now tell me how we should protect free speech for fascists and how that will stop them. Cone on, don’t lie.
cone off. cone on, cone off, either way it’s a stupid fucking argument. let’s follow your choo-choo train of thought: how many is enough then? 500m? 700m?
how many firearms should I have access to between the shitter and the shower for safety, son? tell me you own stock in colt without saying so already.
sure bud. you can’t hear it, but I’m rolling my eyes at your experience. good luck with that.
You may need it more.
Idiots conflate firearms ownership with competency. These idiots leave tens of thousands of firearms in their cars every year to get stolen.

They leave them where kids can get with them, and firearms are now the number one killer, worse than CARS.

And yet you still think the answer is more guns.
Frankly, at this point, you’re arguments weak and/or pointless and your inability to articulate anything resembling reason, well, I’m glad your cows left. I hope they went on to a better place. You obviously didn’t deserve their company.
False dichotomies.

Take a good look at Palestine right now. Or the before and after images of Syria. Or Ukraine.
Guerilla groups with guns fighting against national armed forces pretty much means everything getting destroyed.
And unlike in all those areas, in the US most states are sitting on several nukes.
Additionally, you’d be a fool to think that domestic civil war wouldn’t spiral into a world war as foreign powers got involved in picking sides or trying to move in seeing a weakened superpower.
So when we discuss the idea of the US taking up arms against one another in 2024, what we are really discussing is likely the catalyst to the next use of nuclear weapons and the fall of large swaths of civilization.
We really need to stop fetishizing magical thinking, and that includes gun owners’ fantasy of successfully fighting a modern civil conflict in the country with more military spending than the next top spenders combined.
That gun is going to be real useful when an unmanned drone drops a bomb on your house.

Are you really telling me that in modern civil wars bombs aren’t going to be ‘wasted’?
You do know that Syria is a civil war, right?
So you know then what to expect when the fascists take power. And they WILL take power, because Democrats will let them. And you know who wants you disarmed?..the guys that keep saying Democrats want to disarm you.
