This ends with blood in the streets. We just need to decide whose blood.
When there is blood, highly likely it will be from both.
Alas, the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of both patriots and tyrants.
It is with a heavy heart we must accept this and move forward, as our elected leaders have now left us with virtually no other choice.

Hey I think I've seen this episode before!
Yeah, this I'd the first season. Next season the US military will bomb the city
Or they might just have the local police bomb and incenerate an entire city block like in Philly.

Every group of people need to have autonomy and independence, and the right to self-govern. No people should have to fear violence and repression from another group.
All this happens because Americans are obsessed with race. The first time I was asked about my race was when I applied for my visa
I think letting everybody have a gun is absolutely moronic. But if i was living in the US right now i would definitely be stocking up on assault rifles and ammo.
I think you'd be better off with one, and spend the change left over on more ammo. You only have two hands.
Maybe I'd find some people to use the other ones.
Valid.
At current gun ownership rates in the US, every willing person who wanted a gun could be issued one instantly if enough people were willing to share.
