Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So this is where all those privately owned guns are gonna be used for their intended purpose - to oppose tyranny. Right?... Right?
Correct, and thanks for asking.
Most of us won’t survive longer than maybe a second or two, at best, but know without a doubt that we’re out there. You won’t see or hear anything about us because it won’t be covered by the suborned media.
All the anti-2a people have accomplished is to help the fascists into power and render themselves helpless against them.
Fascism is here, and the Second Amendment has never once been restricted in any practical fashion. That means that fascism rose to power while everyone was fuckin strapped. Nobody has done shit so far except that one kid in Butler who was a bad shot.
What do you still need so that you'd have been a genuine threat to the world's global military hedgemon? A personal F-15 Eagle?
This is a fallacy and it’s a stupid one.
What do I need not to die in the first 0.5 seconds? 20 more of me.
One guy with some guns doesn’t last long.
20-30 armed people tend to last much longer barring an ATF vs. Waco deal.
See: those Ranchers assholes who didn’t want to pay to graze their cattle on public land, Cliven Bundy I think was one of their names, or the problematic but still effective in this instance NFAC who proved that if you peacefully protest while armed as fuck, suddenly - like magic - you’re afforded your first amendment rights and don’t get the fuck beaten out of you.
