Why?
:: gestures broadly to current events::
Current events show that guns are pretty useless against dictators, people do just happily vote them in power. The right to free education would have been a better weapon.
Just shut the fuck up if you don’t know history. Seriously. You don’t need to respond to everything when you don’t know what you’re talking about. Just shut the fuck up. It’s a virtue, I promise.
Khadaffi would beg to differ.
Of all ways to get rid of dictators you choose Lybia as a good example. I rest my case.
Lol, that nose stuck straight up in the air is going to obstruct your target acquisition.
I said dictators have been taken down with items less deadly than a gun, and you say "la la la I can't hear you!"
And you think it's a gotcha as the cherry on top!
Introspection must be your dump stats.
The real answer?
Because donald trump got re-elected. That's it. That's the sole reason why this person now favors owning a gun.
Neo-liberals are like sheep.
Calling people sheep for wanting to be armed against a fascist regime is a new one.
Better late then never you fucking asshole.
