Don’t worry though, we’ll pretend to look into banning every citizen from whatever type of gun he used instead of doing anything at all for mental health.
That job won’t pay my mortgage, my bills, support my family, or provide health insurance for us.
And even if it did, jobs like that are seasonal so if by some miracle it did provide all I need, it wouldn’t do it year round and golly, would you look at that, my bills don’t take the growing season off.
At one point I knew someone from a small town in Northern California where most people in the town worked for an industry like this - picking, driving, processing the stuff that was grown (I don’t remember what the crop was). The only people who weren’t directly involved provided services to those who were, working government or retail jobs in the town.
When it wasn’t picking season, most of the town was on welfare.
I grew up on my boomer parents stories of what polio was like when they were kids, knowing people in iron lungs, and then what it was like when the vaccine was developed and made available.
I adore vaccines and think that anyone who doesn’t is unworthy to continue breathing. I do not and will not apologize for that, because I’m right.
They look like criminals with zero indication as to any authority. Not uniforms, no badges.
This nation needs to make it physically unsafe to be in such a state.
If those were medical masks it would be different: my buddy’s wife is immune compromised so he wears a mask when out and about as do I when we’re together. That ain’t this.
I’d go with racism, sexism, not being a cult leader like figure unlike her opponent, and a bunch of people who’ve bought way too far into putting Palestine first over their own nation being convinced it to vote for her.
And, possibly (there’s a lawsuit) an actually rigged election.
Oh hey I could get mine back and then get circumcised again just to piss off all the crybabies who want to sue their parents for having them circumcised the first time.
Only honest citizens who want the ability to protect themselves do so, to their constant detriment.
In a nation where fascism is rising (and people with or without badges might show up where you live to do bad things to you and your family) I prefer being heavily armed.
Let’s figure out what color is associated with mental health and wear that instead, because over half of all gun deaths each year in the USA are suicides, and no amount of permitting or restriction of magazine sizes or even a successful total ban and eradication of all firearms will change the fact that all those people wanted to die.
Meanwhile neither the Republicans nor my fellow Democrats appear to give the first or smallest fuck, preferring to harp on either disarming honest citizens in the face of fascism or railing against the same whole being fascist.
Shout out to the homie I lost to suicide by gun while we were both serving our country, in the 1990s.
The USMC has a chain of command whose job it is to know this shit. They let those Marines down and have stained the honor of the Corps.
The writing has been on the wall since at least last February or whenever it was trump replaced so much of the DoD top brass. This was always what - in his first term he tried to send troops to Oregon and the DoD correctly told him “no”. Those people are replaced with scum who don’t mind violating the Posse Comitatus Act.
Phony? Try most of them are MAGA. They like how things are going. Fascists and racists, most of them.
And why is that? Because my Democrat party and the vast majority of my fellow Democrats are anti-gun.
Therefore, almost all the “2a” people you refer to like all the jack booted thuggery going on, and there aren’t enough of the rest of us to make a difference: One protester with a gun gets shot and or arrested. You need twenty+. And that’s before Shitler sent in the now-dishonored USMC. wtf are even 20 armed civilians supposed to do against trained military combat units?
So go ahead and STFU. If any of my fellow US Democrats are reading this, Fuck You for being part of the problem.
Most gun owners are MAGA these days. When they talked about resisting tyranny they basically meant they were racist and didn’t like Obama. They are all for what is happening now.
People like me who are liberal gun owners are rare and there mostly aren’t enough of us to protest together effectively.
This is thanks to the rest of you being anti-gun. Hopefully, though it’s too late at this point, you see how fucking retarded it is to be anti-gun in a world where your adversaries are fascists.
In my state I now have to apply for a permit just to buy a firearm, take a class, and I’m not sure what else. This, even though I already own firearms including a so-called assault rifle, all while possessing a license to carry a concealed pistol.
That’s the kind of shit people like you voted for, advocated for, and killed off liberal interest in n firearms by doing.
This reality is what you helped create while our politicians lapped it up - easier to blame guns than help people with their mental health issues. Cheaper too!
Don’t worry though, we’ll pretend to look into banning every citizen from whatever type of gun he used instead of doing anything at all for mental health.
