The gun rights y'all have?
Now, most people would tell you that Gun Control Works and that you should just do that and get less dead kids per month which is a generally good thing.
....... But here's another thing to consider. As long as you're allowed to purchase weapons for cheap and easy.
You do realise you can in fact do something about the assholes in your government and your oligarchies with those guns, right? That they can be used for more than just killing children?
Luigi Mangione seemed to get it.
They know that, they stroke their gun boners to that very thought.
Except the tyranny they're afraid of is someone coming for their guns, or "communism." But they don't know what communism is and aren't aware that the guns aren't the rights they're losing.
See
You're describing the MAGA crowd.
All I'm saying is that there are plenty of non-MAGA Americans out there. Like 55% of the country or something? And that those people can get guns just as easily as the MAGAts do -- And that "terrified children and minorities" are not the only human persons that can be targeted by a firearm.
I know they won't
They lack the spine for it (or the spinal injuries?)
But that's precisely what makes this a case of 'thing they aren't ready to hear'
Biggest limp dick cucks are the most vocal gun owners many with poor gun culture. As if this is on purpose...
The internet had always been full of those gun boner guys fantasizing about taking up arms against threats to freedom. Younger me had no clue they were the tyranny themselves.
Keep on spreading comments like this and you might actually be able to get gun control implemented in the US.
Ah but there is my cartoon villain gambit: If my sentiment gets popular, THEN--
Either the USians that still have braincells finally nut up and take their country back. Which would be good for friends of mine that live there.
Or
The US government finally gets their shit together and starts doing something about the fact that any old idiot can have the sort of weapon most countries reserve for their armies. And this would ALSO be good for friends of mine that live there.
Either way, I win. [evil gay horse noises]
